it does loud cleans to mild crunch. It can be a little dark sounding at low volume but sounds very good with the master volume opened up a bit. Is perfect for blues and a great canvas for pedals of all kinds.
It has in built attenuation through power reduction so can be easily tailored to home, stage or studio.

Does it need a spring reverb? You can get better sounding (imo) spring emulation pedals and very few amps these days have a really, really good sounding spring reverb circuit (although I'm not sure what makes them sound good or bad, just that I've not heard any that hold a candle to the vintage fenders I've played).
Spring emulation pedal is something I have not come across, do you have a link ???

For that matter I'd sell you a used USA-hand-made Badcat 30w for that much, with top-5%-quality cleans
If you should ever want to run an external cab, you can do so with the internal 2x12 speakers on or off. You don't need an FX loop, but one's there should you change your mind and eg want to run a delay and/or modulation pedal. Classic looks, big tone (I think there's a thread on this here), and great bell-like cleans. The latest versions are the AC30C2 (2x122 Celestion Greenbacks) and AC30C2X (2x12" Alnico Blues). The AC30C2 is around £7-800 new; the AC30C2X is around £1100 new but I guarantee you can get a deal at your £1k budget or even less. Cheaper pre-owned of course.
Re Gary Moore, I love him too. But usually his tone equates with a Les Paul and a Marshall. I love Marshall amps, but they simply wouldn't tick all your boxes. However, and don't laugh, with a Gary Moore theme in mind check out the 2x12 Marshall Code 100 - yes, I know it's a digital amp and not a quality tube amp - but it's still a great sounding versatile amp with surprisingly good cleans. Ignore you-tube demos (none show what the amp can really do), keep an open mind, and try one in person. I've owned a JTM45, JCM800, 18w 1954 'plexi' combo, and I currently have a JCM2000 DSL401 - and I would gig with the Code!
I am going to Guildford tomorrow ( work related) and will endeavour to drop into Andertons and give one a spin....Living in Somerset is a bind- no quality equipment shops around, I really want new not considering 2nd hand as yet!
Ref Gary Moore, I hear what you say ref Les Paul/Marshall - so I don't realistically expect to emulate his tones using single coil guitars, (I do have an Epiphone 335 Pro with Humbuckers- my back up guitar - which I vary rarely use) being a true Fender snob lol
I just prefer the Strat & Tele Twined with a quality Tube amp ( previously owning both a Fender Blues Deluxe and a 68 Princeton reissue). Sadly I sold the Blues deluxe on a whim to buy the 68 Princeton, I didn't get on with that too much bass for my style of playing, presently using an Orange 60w combo - borrowed from a band member, It works well but not the sound I'm after- The Rhythm guitarist has a Blackstar Artist, can't say I'm impressed with that either lol , maybe I'm too fussy
I'll see what's what on Wednesday afternoon armed with my £1,000 with an AC 30 of some sort in mind
Thanks all for the replies so far- appreciated

Les, keep us posted of your findings...

There are lots. The digitech polara has a decent one, the boss RV6 has one I think, the best for emulating the old school tanks is the boss fender pedal - it really is accurate and warts and all (which, I suspect, is why it's not as hugely popular as other pedals).
I tend to use hall, plate or cathedral kind of sounds more as I can't stand spring but you have a lot of options across a range of prices. Most are much of a muchness, I wouldn't convince yourself you get a great deal better sound with a very expensive one, but then again I'm not a spring reverb fan.
