The amps mentioned above are both great bang for the buck. On a budget, it'd be a used Vox AC-15 or Fender Deluxe Reverb for me.

Before choosing an amp,something else to consider is how accessable the tubes are.Sooner or later you may change them,either for wear and age, or to try the sound of premium tubes.
