Go for a Crate Vintage club 30. They come up on ebay pretty often. These are good value.
Here's one

This will come in cheaper than your $500 and you can spend the rest getting it serviced. Try a EH gold pin 12ax7 in the pre amp stage. Very nice.

Hi,
oldflame is right ...
I've owned a VC50 (2x12) ... in the retrospective I must say "It nailed my Fenders", sweet clean, bluesey growl, nice distortion ... and you could awake the beast in it with a few stomp boxes in front ... :wink: :wink:
disadvantage : Heavy as a truck ...
I've heard that Mark Knopfler played two of them on his European tour at the end of the '90s ...
... and I deeply regret having sold this amp ...
