Recommend a new amp for me too??

[Johtosotku]

Hi guys, I'm looking to improve my amp department next and I've got about 1000-1500 € scraped up. What would you recommend for me, I'd be using it for music like:

-older Danzig
-Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
-Mannhai
-PJ Harvey

I don't need any over-the-top distortion, although it would be nice if it got up to 80s metal territory. A great clean and rock sound are the primary abilities I'm looking for. I'd like at least two channels and a good effects loop. A power soak and other goodies will be welcome and noted as well.

I've been using a Laney TF300 and a JCM800 this far. The JCM800 is a 2205 model IIRC, and it has far enough gain for me, although I'm not too keen on it otherwise, even when turned up.

So far I've been looking at the following amps:

-Koch Twintone II (#1 so far)
-Framus Dragon
-Orange Rockerverb
-VHT 50/CL or 2/50/2 + GP3

If you have any thoughts concerning those amps or any new suggestions, I'm all ears and grateful for all thoughts.

Thanks!

Like Sune said, what a surprise you suggested that! No matter, thanks for your input, I actually hadn't thought about it earlier on.

What kind of a clean does it have? All the reviews and clips I've looked at have been at distortion, I don't really have a clue about it at all. What about the lighter and more rocking distortion tones? I take it to be a metal amp, am I wrong?

How much do they go for at the street? Does anybody have a clue about european prices / retailers?

Thanks again!

Oops, of course. Edited it now. Thanks! Do you know something about it?

Nah, I've never played one. I've wanted to for a long while though.
