Ideally something that sounds close to a super reverb. Ideally an old Fender head with reverb. Ideally something that'd sound very rich, especially with a 2X10. Ideally something easy to mod and repair (turret board).
Something I could bring to a gig but also keep at home as a basis for pedals, so a high enough headroom clean channel. Live, I could set it for a medium size gig (big pub, or club) and as I turn it up, I'd keep it on a slight crunch and use my guitar's volume control. Since my guitars have medium to high output pickups, it'd need perhaps around 15 to 20W for what I hope to achieve.
Ideally, it's a Super Reverb without all the bells and whistles. One channel, on either a 210 combo, or as a head format.
Ideally all I'd ever need with it is a OD used as a boost.
So low wattage but high headroom, harmonically RICH, very rich, simply in layout, easily workable, not too expensive, lushious but no need for OTT reverb, and giggable.
In short, something that's INSPIRING to play. Something I'd only see the good sides of, and not try to improve it.
It's to play Blues and rock, AC/DC style gain. Nothing extreme needed. Just feel and tone.
Thanks!

In Europe they cost quite a lot now, WAY MORE than 500 bucks. Probably closer to 2,000 by now :s But I'm always on the hunt. Other possibilities are the Showman, Bandmaster, and those blond heads that came with the 115 cab, can't recall how they're called...
Can't even afford 200 pounds right now :'(
