Thanks, so far some good suggestions. It kind of sucks that my budget for this is so low but I have to stick to it. I was leaning towards a Peavey (newer ones) myself. I've owned the Bandit112 Transtube and it was pretty punchy. I ended up giving it to a musician friend that really needed it. Unforunately I cant try these out because this is a mail order company that gives me incredible deals. I am looking locally too but where I am theres not many choices unless I want to drive 100 miles to a good store.
