As I expected, the highs aren't quite what they are on the small amp but I like the growl that this thing has. It should work well for the Dwight Yoakam songs that I've been playing around with.
Next I need to try using the preamp out of the micro into the peavey and see what that sounds like.
After hearing 30W compared to 2W, I will probably not buy any other amp at less than 30. My next one will more likely be 75+ but that will have to wait, certainly not needed at this point.
