We have laying around here, an old Roland Cube 60. Not the digital modeling model, but the old, ugly, orange monstrosity. I yanked its speaker, and loaded in a Weber ceramic Calif, and this thing KILLS now. The reverb's dead, but it's plenty loud, and has a good clean channel that distorts in a very pleasant way as you turn up the volume. We've been using it on our Tuesday open jam nights as the guest amp, and everyone seems to love it.

I'm also fond of SS Peavey amps. GREAT clean channel, and if you don't like the dirt channel, just stay on the clean and use a pedal. For a while I used an old Bandit 65 with a Morley JD-10, and it blew all of my tube amps away at that time.
