advice on tube amps

[lkr]

I have been looking at several different amps and have narrowed it down to the peavey vaveking 212, crate vc5212 and possibly one of the peavey classic amps. For the money the valveking has got my attention. I have always wanted the VC 5212 but they are hard to find in my area and are more expensive. I dont know much about the classic 50 but it seems it gets recommeded alot.
I dont use pedals so the dirty channel needs to be good. I appreciate any recommendations anyone has.

I highly recommened Fender Tube Amps. You may want to check out some of these before you make a final decision.

ive heard amazing things about the valveking, so that would be a good choice.

that crate looks pretty good, you might want to look into the crate v32 palomino also. thats a great crate amp (not really crate, but its still the crate V series weird ehh)

if youre willing to, you might also look into the traynor ycv50 blue, its a very versatile amp, that has a marshallish OD, and a clean that ranges from fender-vox. great little (50 watts, so not so little) amp, but unless bought used, its about 650 bucks. (used around 500, but they are so durable, that it shouldnt matter much if its used)

chack out laney's tube amps. theyre pretty cheap and blow fenders away.
