I bought a Humboldt Hot Rod Blues Jr. last year and I love it. It's small enough to be portable, but low enough on power so that you can really heat the tubes up for tone. The reverb is good stuff too. The Hot Rod version has a hemp cone so it's got much more mids than standard Blues Jrs. It also takes pedals really well.

Champs are really awesome too. Especially if you're just playing in your house.

Jet City 5212rc if you consider a 212 to be super portable.

Fender Blues Jr III if you want a 112

Notable scoff: orange tiny terror for its lack of a reverb channel (or foot-switchable overdrive)

I have an old Fender Super Champ. I ended up not getting into electric guitar (just stuck with acoustic), so I never fully enjoyed it, but a friend of mine who's good played through it and we took it to a place where we could crank it up, and I thought it had a remarkable variety of clean and dirty tones. I was surprised how good it sounded when you can turn the dials up.

I have a Eminence Cannabis Rex 12 speaker in my Ceriatone combo. I got the idea from Jimmy Herring's rig where he had a Fuch's Overtone into a Tone Tubby cab.

My mini Herring rig sounds like butter. So damn good. The only draw back, no reverb in the unit. Currently I only have a floor pedal reverb unit through my loop. If I were to get any more serious , I would pick up a Fender reverb tank unit or a Fuch's reverb and put it in the loop.
