Re: single 12" combo -- need a gig machine
I've got a Peavey Classic 50-410 now, and it's killer for my sound. I haul it out for my larger jobs.
I need something that won't threaten hernias and hemorrhoids every time I load in for a small gig or practice.
I was playing through an Ampeg VT-22 for years.

Second the Peavey Classic 30, especially since you're playing the 50 already, unless of course you are looking for something a little different from what you have. Even a good 'ol Classic 20 if you can find one!

A deluxe reverb. And your overdrive of choice but for 500 it's gonna be tough. You might want to look at a Peavey classic 30. Used I've seen them for around 300$. They have 2 channels and sound really good. Basically a modern Fender effects loop channel switching. I don't really understand why these never really caught on. They are a really good sounding amp and they are readonable

Mesa 5:50... 1x12, light as anything and with the contour knob you can get some serious half stack power/chunk
Takes dirt pedals like a champ too!

I'm pretty darned impressed with this Vox Bruno 1x12 I snagged off eBay for 599. Foot switch. " macho" mode boost. Master volume bypass switch. Good tube reverb. It's a rock and roll beast. 4. 6V6's in it. Solid state rectifier. 4 12AX7 and 1 12AT7.
Quite heavy.

Part of me wants to vote for this.
But, if price is a concern, then my money goes for the superlite ii which leaves you $200 for the cab/speaker to come under your $500 limit.
I've got the "baby will" (same thing without the preamp gain control and the treble/middle/bass) which is even cheaper and through a celestion vintage 30 it can blow doors off. I don't know if the speaker is super efficient or what, but it moves air for being only 18 watts.
