Orange Crush Pro - Sounds like an Orange. Looks to be well built.
Yamaha THR100 - Lots of decent tones. Hard to make it sound bad.
Roland Blues Cube Stage - Lovely cleans. Sweet bluesy lead tones.
OK, so it's just a power amp, but it behaves - to the ears - astonishingly like a valve power amp, and with my X88R clone in front it sounds...like a great valve amp, if I'm honest.
More than worth the £30 I paid for it
Ideally the 1x12 (the 2x12 is proper heavy) and also series 2, not series 3 (which had coloured knobs).

There are actually a very large number of older solid-state amps that fit the bill if you're going to get the overdrive sounds from pedals or an outboard modeller - most are reliable, have a fairly full clean sound with powerful enough EQ to dial it in, loud enough (above about 50W anyway) and extremely cheap to buy now.
I saw a chap using an old Laney Linebacker like that not long ago - sounded fine, and you won't need to pay even £100 for one.
That Vermona looks very cool . They're the same company that made some of the Sound City and Londoner badged amps in the later 70s and early 80s.

Trace Elliot Super Tramp - i toured with these in the early 2000's, they were always a huge sounding amp.
Marshall VS100r - it does have a valve in it, but i don't think it does very much. Quality amps though!
Peavey Supreme XL - The head version of a Bandit with a few up market features thrown in. Incredible for gains!
Line 6 Duoverb - a commercial failure but probably the best Line 6 product before Helix.
The valve does make a difference - the distortion is done with diodes and LEDs, but the valve drives the tone stack on the dirty channels and acts as a sort of post-preamp enhancer on the clean. They're not bad quality and do sound great, but also have a couple of design faults - fairly easily fixed though, and still common in practice rooms.
