The Bugera amps: Vintage 5 and Vintage 22, are all-tube amps at unbeatable prices. I bought a V5 used for $135 at my local Music Go Round. I love its bluesy tone and feature set - great for bedroom players like me. For the money, they're hard to beat. I swapped preamp tubes (put in a lower gain 12AY7) and I get that warm valve sound in spades - really nice and clean - until I push the gain, then she'll give a classic overdrive break up.
