are you reliant on the amp's drive or prefer pedals?

It will be very interested to know any tube amp in 400$ region can deliver those requirements.

nice tube amps generally go for $800 and above so maybe you should save up abit first..
For SGD400, you can get the 12" speaker and maybe get some wood to DIY the cabinet.
For the amp unit itself, maybe try to save up to around SGD1200 at least, so you have some budget to play with.
Then find one that you find suits your needs.

Not targeting anyone but I don’t know any amp that has fender clean with fat distortion in that price range. If someone knows, I would like to get one for myself as well

I actually paid $600 for my fender twin reverb but it was dead when I bought it.
Turned out to be a pretty good investment.

oh quick, there's a fender pro junior just up for sale in the classifieds for $480..
Well i think the tube amps you can get around 400 bucks in Singapore now are
Epi Valve Junior
Blackheart Little Giant -Yamaha at tamp can demo
Laney LC15 (that's pushing 400)
Blackheart doesn't have a drive channel though. Epi is just one knob..
There seems to be an increased interest in cheap tube amps these days. Peavey has the Valveking 8, Fender has Champ 600, Crate has its V5 (is V5 avail in S'pore? who's the official crate dealer?)
Those amps aren't easily available locally to my knowledge though.
You might be interested in getting an attenuator like the THD Hotplate from TY to help get Power tube saturation from these low wattage tube amps at a usable-at-home volume.
Alternatively, head to ax84.com and DIY urself.. anyone know roughly how much THAT would cost?

^^^ +1. I was about to say Rocker 30 but price is at least 1k USD.
By the way, THD Hotplate is like 300 USD i.e. like budget for whole amp
I guess nearest one with that budget will be hybrid amps

rather difficult to suggest a good tube units with such specs. would cite Peavey's JSX as an amp superb in the clean & overdriven front but that's beyond your working budget.
