Re: Just a simple question
Are you going to buy Used or New ?
In this range, you have lots of pretty cool amps. Personaly, I'd go with a RIVERA. For 1000$ you can find a nice M60/M100 and a 2x12 cab. Maybe a K55 non-reverb.
Laneys are great too, you can also find a nice JCM800 combo 2x12 at this price... lots of cool options I tell you. Lots of.

Re: Just a simple question
Blues Junior is good, but why not step it up a notch and go with the Hot Rod Deluxe? 40w tube, and it's under $600.
That's if you're willing to use a distortion pedal for (I'm assuming by your username) the kind of distortion you want.
But for $1000, you could get a XXX combo, or a Carvin Legacy combo (I think they're under $1000). Or used, you could get some good Mesa's.
Marshall TSL 601 is pretty good, IMO pretty metallish territory with distortion...but I'm not a metal player, so don't take my word on that.
Go try some out!

Re: Just a simple question
Thanks guys, I really apreciate your help.I was going to get an used amp, but keep in mind that I live in Argentina, and the dolar here is $2,50 so for U$600 you can´t buy anything decent. BUT, I could buy i.e a brand new Peavey Delta Blues which is around U$700 in the States, or something like that. Do you know some tube amps of 30-50w that are good deals for $500 to $900?

Re: Just a simple question
As an Argentine guitar player, are you familiar with Ariel Pozzo? That reminds me, I've heard him sound pretty darn good through a Nativo amp.

Re: Just a simple question
lets see
you could get a used blackface bassman head & an avatar cab
you could get a used hot rod deluxe or deville, which you'll probably end up getting a distortion pedal & new speakers for, great amps
you could get an orange
you could probably swing a jcm800 combo
peavey classics
personally i'd go for the bassman or the hot rod, but that's me

Used 5150, or better yet, a Classic 30 or 50 and pedals. Cheap, reliable, and sound great!

Re: Just a simple question
I would suggest a Peavey Classic 50 (great tone; true to the guitar) or, if you are feeling "Froggy" a Genz-Benz Diablo Pentode/Triode (60/30). This is a single 12" amp that sounds HUGE! I have never heard anything so monstrous in such a small package. Like a "Stack in the box".

Re: Just a simple question
Crate V5112 if you can find one used will probably run you around $500, I own this amp and I love it. Not many people try it out because of the name but I think its distortion is nicer then the Marshall DSL40 and DSL60 combo. I have never used a modded DSL40 or DSL60, I am talking about a stock ones. Another great choice would be a Peavey Classic 30 or 50 with a nice distortion petal.

Re: Just a simple question
I´ve heard him playing through a Nativo stack, but that time he was using his PRS Custom 22 and he had a decent sound.
His amp set-up was a Groove Tubes Trio pre-amp and Marshall aniversary model I think
Thanks for your help

Re: Just a simple question
I think you should really decide what type of music you'll be playing most often with this amp. I wouldn't recommend a Fender if you're playing mostly metal, just like I wouldn't recommend a 5150 for blues.
When it comes to versatility, my favorite amps are the Peavey Classic 50, Fender Bassman, and Marshall DSL 50. The 5150 is great if you play mostly rock and metal.
