If it's small, even if it's heavier, it's much easier to move.
Failing that, hayden mofo perhaps? Or the new (not sure if it's out yet) victory v30?
haven't seen/heard of the MJW?
The v30 I can't promise anything, but the mofo does have a clean channel with reasonable (though not ac30) headroom.
The bantam is 18w but if it's the traditional style 18w circuit, it won't half have some volume, and the head comes in at budget. Would have a classic British crunch kind of tone I'd imagine, though don't quote me.
Jpf also do small sized heads - it was actually them I was thinking of, woops - not sure how small an mjw is - but Jpf amps are a little over budget. He's also a forum member, and still worth emailing - he knows his onions.
Edit: the bantam is cute and small. Lovely, in fact! Might be perfect for you. Or the amt stonehead if you fancy solid state.
3 versatile channels, 36W with power scaling down to 1W and a Red Box speaker simulated out.

just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
Thanks for the mentions, TPD
The Bantam indeed would sound nice, but is only 1 channel. I should say also that I've got a 4 month waiting list ![:( :(](/plugins/EmojiExtender/emoji/fb/2.gif)
A 30W 2-channel head is going to be a weighty beast, unless you build it to keep the weight down. The Orange AD would be about the worst choice as there's half a ton of cabinet to tote.
15-18W makes more sense, but limits headroom. Lots of choice in cab-less lunchbox amps in this power rating.
