New (tube?) amp

[syr2012]

For a while now, I've been playing my guitars through an effects processor and headphones instead of an amp. This was okay for a while, considering the fact that I alternate between living in a small apartment and a dorm room. Unfortunately for that, I entered the BKP world a while back, and after running my Holydiver through a tube amp a couple of times, I've decided that the time has come for me to go back to the times where I didn't realize how mediocre my beginner's amp and stock pickups were. I'm looking for a tube amp, one that would play nice with my effects processor (which is currently a digitech because I don't exactly have enough money for a separate whammy and processor) and isn't pricey. If there's a solid-state that would do the trick, I'll consider it, but I want something with a footswitch and NEED something that does crunch well.  So, any ideas?

Foot switch to do what?  Change channels from clean to crunch?

Budget?

Exactly. I'm tired of leaning over and pushing buttons.

I'd like to keep it around $300-350, which I hope won't be too difficult, since it can't be too big.

I doubt you'll get twin channels and tubes for that price. although Peavey may have something on the used market?  Classic 30 or similar?

I'd also take a look at the Marshall MG series solid state combos.......

As TF says, you'e unlikely to get much choice with a  new tube amp with that spec at that price.

Looking at the Musician's friend website, the only amp that comes in with what you want  at the price is a B-52 AT-112 combo.  I have no experience of them, but the HC reviews seem to think they sound pretty good,  but are patchy with reliability.

I'd suggest looking for a used Peavey Classic 30 or used Crate V32 or V33 combo. Both are good amps, and should be available fo the money you have, if you look around.
