Can anyone recommend a decent, small, practice amp with a fairly good, clean tone? Cost and loudness aren't too much of an issue, but it needs to be really easy to carry around and still sound good. Tricky? That's what I thought, too.

The roland cube-15 would be ideal for you. Its small, light, and has an amazing clean tone. I believe it retails for about $100 US.

i have a fender blues junior - 15 watt all tube. sounds great clean and has a nice smooth overdrive. i picked up mine 4 years ago for $330 new, though i'm not sure what they go for currently.

Any of the small Fenders will do you wonders. And my little marshall 35watt sounds great clean as well.

yeah, Fender amps are top of the line and not to expensive

I use a Fender Frontman 25R. Not a bad little amp. IIRC, it cost me a little over 100. Its small enough to practice with, and big enough to cut through with a small group.

I'm sure its a liitle late now but I'll throw my $.02 in anyway, just in case. My vote is for the Roland. I have a Cube-30 that I gig with. Fantastic tone for $200. The Cube-15 should fit your needs perfectly.
