Looks like I'll have some extra $$$ soon (as little as $500 to play with, as much as $1000). And here are some of the candidates I'm looking at for a great sounding amp that I can take out to gigs from time to time, but will also sound great in the basement:

Rivera Pubster 25W (1x10) $800
Richter 5E3 Deluxe $725-800
Used Mesa/Boogie Mk IIB 60W- $500
Peavey Classic 30 ($350-400 used, $550-600 new?)

I play alot of rock, and would like something that I don't need to use too many pedals with to sound good (maybe just a distortion or overdrive box).

So, knowing that, which would be the best choice? Also, are there any really good ones that I'm missing? I'd like something tube, and either a 1x12 or 1x10, and enough wattage to do a small gig and still have some clean headroom.
