I don't find the EL34 S1s very warm sounding, they tend to sound dark and tight which is either something you'll love or not (mostly concerned about blues here, it'll do the other tones). I liked mine but kind of wished it had more low end available. The cleans were good and the drive tones are pretty decent. Given it is a 100 watt amp there is enough low end, but it isn't an especially warm/deep sounding one compared to other 100 watt amps.
My first thought was actually multi-watt Dual Rec. Either the Reborn or a Roadster/Road King (other models might not get you the cleans you want). Don't write them off as purely metal amps, the cleans are good and they can get excellent warm drive tones for blues and rock.
budget about £400 ish (ie less than £500)
I don't think he uses TSLs does he?
For years he was Laney and then more recently he has used Vintage Moderns and DSLs, but I don't think I've seen him use TSLs.
What amp Paul Gilbert uses is largely irrelevant though as he would make just about anything sound good.
One of the Studios I used to practice at had a variety of Marshall heads 800 900 and 2000 TSLs and everyone was pretty much unanimous that the TSLs were by far the shittest sounding.
I'm not a fan of the Blackstar either particularly, but they are at least fairly reliable - although the pots on the earlier ones are crap. (Later changed.)
For the range of sounds you've listed I'd probably get some sort of Mesa, but other amps are available...

I like the Blackstar's had a Series One 50 for years and it covers a lot of ground and sounds great, the JVM's sound a lot better than the TSL's IMO, but still prefer the S1
Of course the right answer is 'buy a Helix'
I have the remains of one here - I bought it off a friend for the scrap parts value because he didn't want to pay the huge bill to have it repaired, and I don't want to fix it even though I could, because then I would have to guarantee it to the next owner, and I can't. No loss - I'll need the transformers and other parts to repair other ones sooner or later.
They also don't really sound that good when they're working - thin and buzzy. The TSL100 isn't great, but the TSL60 is worse - although it doesn't have quite such serious reliability issues, if anything it sounds even weaker than the 100.

According to the daily mail, they're responsible for the huge strain on amp repair people across the nation, forcing Carr, vox and even blackstar amps to wait in line, often for months.
I'd say Jet City too if the OP was looking for a rock amp, but the Series One's are very versatile and IMO sound great. As I type I'm starting to miss mine
Another vote for Jet City here too.
You'll get a much better sound than a JCM2000 and save a ton of cash.
It also will not catch fire - which is the only thing the JCM2000 range did well !
