Introduce me a new practise amp

[Chunkyfunky]

Hello guys. I am currently suffering from a bad practise amplifier disease. I have a peavey blazer 158 transtube amp. 15 watt 8 inch speaker. Its a old amp and it sounds ridiculously fuzzy even on its clean channel , probably thanks to the 8 inch speaker. Another problem with the amp is it cant get a good volume, its either too soft and if you turn the knob abit more it goes crazy enough to enrage neighbours.

Please recommend me a new amp. My budget is $500++. Basically i would prefer it to have a nice clean tone (something that works great with pedals).
Best to have good speakers not expecting celestions but at least non-fuzzy and unclear tone. A plus goes if it can maintain good bedroom volume and can go loud enough for jamming.

Hmm.

Check out the new Vox AD valvetronix series. Tried the 30-watt version and got blown away. I believe with your budget you can go up to the 50-watt version.

fender frontman 25r.. great with pedals, and superb clean. i personally didnt like the built in drive but who cares! u got pedals, i assume.

plus its cheap, and its reverb is one of my favourite reverbs in an amp.. i'd very much like to own one but i have other priorities at the moment. heh..

maybe u can give the new vox ac4 a shot too? i have no idea abt it but it seems pretty cool. 4 watt tube amp..

+1 to the Fender Frontman 25R. Great clean tones. The vox ac4tv combo is already available in City Music but the head+cab version of it will be available this May according to Vox website. Might wanna test drive the vox actv4 soon

Haiz... really don't know if I should get the combo or the headcab version...

The Vox AD is sold at city music right?

Seems that Vox is trying to cash in on what Epiphone and Blackheart Engineering is doing :affordable tube amp combos/ head+ cab. Like dudelove suggested, u can give the Vox AC4TV combo a shot, its $300 for a tube amp.

This is the Vox AC4TV Head + Cab :
