I am, too, looking for the same amp. Trying to decide between the VOX Lil Night Train, HT-1, and the Orange Tiny Terror.
I played the VOX Lil Night Train ("LNT") at GC through an Egnater 1x12. They did not have a 1x10 cab, and I want to stay in the sub $350 range.
I really liked the VOX LNT, it had nice cleans and thick dirty sounds. I was also playing through a 12" cab which might make a HUGE difference because the surface area is 56% larger, therefore there can be more bass and warmth, and it might related to the cleans in the same way. The only think that I did not like was that there is no attenuator, therefore you don't have much volume control as you have with the AC4TV.
8 inch speaker area: 201 square inches
10 inch speaker area: 314 square inches (56% larger than the 8")
12 inch speaker area: 452 square inches (44% larger than the 10 inch)
I currently own a VOX AC4TV, which is a great little amp, but I would like something that has more headroom at a lower wattage. The problem with the AC4TV is that I have to turn down the volume to about 1-2 to get a nice clean sound (with a humbucker guitar, a Gibson Les Paul). The LNT looks promising so I think I might try to get one with a 10 inch cab (same as the AC4TV, but different wiring).
I would be interested in what others say about amps in the sub $400 range that fit the description we give.
