Hands down my Friedman BE100. It can do a lot of things. It has the gain structure switch that can take you from JTM-45 territory to Hot Modded Plexi. Additionally the C45 switch adds some gain and alters the mid frequencies to get that 800 or modified 800. The clean sound is amazing as well!

Ibanez TSA15 & 30 (liked the 30 so much I got the 15 too!).

6V6 and 6L6 amps respectively. Built in TS9 for each I believe as well. For the price they're probably the best value to sounding amps I've ever owned. $255 & $380 if memory serves O:)

My favorite is my Friedman BE-100 (modified) though my "all time fav" would be my SLO, I'm just so use to the Marshall type tones where Dave used my '75 Superlead "Jose modded" amp as a reference (side by side the BE-100 smokes the Superlead)
"Sorry Rick" that it's not a YouTube video! (don't have a camera) and also sorry it's not 50w or under, just my humble original tune, single SM57 on the 14yr old Bogner 2x12OS cab (UK V30) just for fun.....

My Vox AC15. Things I love about it: 1) that Vox "chime" on clean playing. Nothing else like it, 'cept maybe a Matchless or Dr Z.. 2) I don't use many pedals but it takes pedals well - esp my Blackfinger compressor. 3) It doesn't rip my head off or make my ears bleed when it's dimed. 4) Lightweight and easy to transport. 5) Makes sound crew happy because stage volume is manageable in small venues. 6) It takes a little fiddling to find that "edge" tone but once you find it, it's amazing. I will say though that it's extremely difficult to find a good overdriven tone that isn't either "fizzy" or "boxy". I think it may be better in that regard with a sealed cab, but that could hurt the sparkling clean tones. Don't know. I'm still pretty new with it and still learning about it's character and voicing.

Fender '64 Handwired Custom Deluxe Reverb - upgraded the 12" speaker to a Celestion Alnico 90watt Cream. Now I can turn this 20watter into a up to 50watts using my PSII.

Vox AC30, the best combo ever made! Stating that my tone is based on a 2203, with the AC30 you can do it all, fron chimey cleans with a bit of hair to hard rock stuff with the right pedals
