I still love my Jet City combo. With a recent tube upgrade to JJ's (with a 5751 in V1), it sounds REALLY nice. This is not the amp for pristine cleans but for blues/classic rock stuff it's perfect. And it LOVES dirt pedals. Best $299 I've ever spent on a piece of gear.

zZounds.com or American Musical Supply, I would guess a couple years ago. The price has gone up on both those sites, but they carry the head and 1x12 cab package deal for a ridiculous $349 - which, if I had the $ right now, would totally jump on. That's basically like getting the extension cab for free.

 

EDIT:

Here's a link for you:

Koch Studiotone.

 

Same here. I tried one and it kicked but.

Brunetti's are supposed to be better than Koch though, according to a review in HC of the studiotone FYI.

Laney's vintage styles are nice too.

 

I have a Mesa Mark One Re-Issue and that is ok for me, but try the new Laney Vintages.

Won't make the top ten (cause practically nobody has one anymore), but I'd have to go with my 60's vintage Magnatone 413 Custom. (Phil X started out with a tonemaster 213 which is the same circuit as the 413 but the 413 has a tube rectifier.) The amp not only sounds grand clean (real tremelo) but able to achieve the vaunted Phil X overdrive. It's loud enough for bar gigs and weighs next to nothing.
