Look at the Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue (known around here as a DRRI). Really a fine amp, and very pedal-friendly. Wonderful clean Fender tone, and really sweet reverb (and trippy tremelo, for that Creedance "Born on the Bayou" kinda tone). Add an overdrive or distortion pedal of your choice and you'll be good to go.
Or...try the Vox AD30VT, which is a mostly solid-state modeling amp, but to my ears hands down the most natural-sounding one available. My brother, who's been playing electric guitar exclusively through tube amps (mostly Fender) for just about forty years, bought one as a backup to his DRRI, and much to his and my surprise, it's his main gigging amp now. Heaven knows, the price is quite nice, too!

Good advice that was already taken long ago. I already have an AD30VT. And I love it. I'm just looking for a nice mid-range tube amp to compliment it. :)
I have appreciated all the opinions and responses in this thread. I still don't know exactly what I'll do, but I don't have the money put together yet anyway, so for now I can just wait and keep trying things out. :)
