The amp to look for would be a Fender Champion 100, or the older version which is the Frontman 212. It's not exactly the same as a Twin, but it's very much in the same ballpark and the Champion sells for only just over £200 brand new.
It's harder to get the sound of the Mesa MkIII with a solid-state amp, but the second channel on the Champion is also probably going to get you closer than you can without spending a pretty significant amount on a valve amp.
The Hotrod is a nice amp too and does have an overdrive channel, although it's not Mesa-like - but it might get there with a pedal in front as well.

This what the combo looks, and sounds like (when driven):

Circuit-wise they are an almost exact Twin Reverb copy, but using EL34s instead of 6L6s. If you prefer, they can be fitted with 6CA7s which are a more 'American-sounding' version of the EL34, without modifying the amp.
