IMO it's all in the player. I can take any piece of shit amp that there is and dial in a tone that will sound good. So can any other guitar player that's been playing for a while. Though I prefer Marshalls and Fenders, I don't have to have them to get a good tone that translates well to recording. Don't take this as braggadocio because there's thousands of guys that I think play better than I do, but they'll all tell you the same thing I'm telling you. It's not like it's a big secret. LOL! Just because you have the money to buy expensive golf clubs doesn't mean you'll play like Tiger woods! LOL!
That's all true, for for people like me that aren't any good, a good piece of amp helps.

There once was a note
Ampeg ReverberRocket or
Ampeg Gemini
These little amps scream and are known for their tube driven reverb. They are 20watts with a 12" Jensen speaker. (same approx. volume as a blues junior, just right for matching drums) They run approx. 700.00 on ebay

Seriously, a Fender Blues Jr. (NOS tweed version) is killer and just about $500. It is plenty loud for practice and most gigs will have a PA. Great amp!

No verb on that amp, but you can get a killer pedal for the remaining cash you have.
