Hey guys, little intro...... Lefty, 23 years old just graduated college. Just starting out on this guitar thing. I have a Taylor big baby as my first guitar but I never messed with it much, just got a standard tele and Im really wanting to learn the guitar. Anyway.........

Looking for a good amp for my tele. Im intersted in all types of music but hear is the sound Im looking for in order of preference........

Country - Brad Paisley (Ill never be as good as him even if he played with one hand, but I like his style, but I def cant afford a DR-Z)

Country - Keith Urban (Big country fan so also looking for modern country sound)

80's Power ballads - (Bonjovi, Whitesnake etc, might not be the best choice for a tele, but anyway...)

Oldies - Beatles, Roy Orbinson, Elivis etc.

This is the type of music Im interest in, just wanted to see if you guys could put me in the direction of amp Im looking for, or the effect Im looking for. Right now in my house I just have a peavey PA with mixer and speakers, so it sound pretty dull.probably will try to sell it. Looking for a tube amp I believe, but the problem is Im only looking to spend about $500 (give or take acouple hundred if necessary.)

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys
