If you haven't already, the Fender Mustang LT25 (25 watts) might be worth a look and likely be comfortably within your budget, and it gets great reviews. There's an LT50 too, and a Mustang GTX50 (both 50 watts), but these models may be more than you need and want to spend.

[br]The Marshall CODE25 is another low-priced amp (25 watts) worth considering, with wireless app control and optional footswitch. There's a CODE50 (50 watt) also.

If you prefer a tube amp over a modeling amp, and can afford to spend a bit more, a good option to consider is the Marshall DSL1CR combo, with 1 watt and a switch to lower it to 0.1 watt for low-volume home practice/recording, and without losing that Marshall tone. There's also the DSL5CR combo, a 5 watt version (but even more expensive). Note that 1 tube watt is roughly equivalent to 5 watts of a solid state (modeling) amp in loudness.

Many other good amps out there - good luck deciding.
