Bump.
I went to GC and played some tube and modeling and solid state.
Modeling it is Fender only to me. Everything else is just not as easy or user friendly.
Orange 35Crush (i believe) did sound great.
Tubes it is gonna be fender as well. Again, they are just simpler. I tried a Vox and did not like it. A 515? brnad of amp that looked great but sounded meh from what I could get out of the thing. Lots of features but have to jump through some hoops just to sit down and play clean.
Take away is these 3
A. Fender Mustang GT100 Modeling amp. Tons of sounds and the Fender cloud of tones from the app.
B. A solid state Orange. Can't make a good argument against it really.
C. Some type of Fender tube that I can afford in the used market.

Something that you might be able to find cheap, is one of the old Crate V series tube amps. They are super simple to use and sound pretty good for basic stuff.
I saw a pretty nice V50 on musicians friend for less than $250.
I've got an old one that is about 25 watts that I use in my shop. I like it just fine.
Some of my friends don't like those amps, but I've noticed that the ones who don't like the way it sounds, are the same guys that like to use effects pedals a lot and super hot pick ups.
Maybe my ear aint as good as theirs, to me, playing mostly country, old rock style stuff and blues, it does the job, but I love the way a good stock set of single coils sound, when they are adjusted right and playing clean.

I don't know if youve checked these out yet, but the Positive Grid Spark amp is really good. I use one as my practice amp and really like the sounds you can get from it. It's Bluetooth, so you can also play backing tracks through it, as well. The spark app is nice and easy to navigate. I think they go for around 250 if you're interested.
