Carvin B1500
Can be had used for ~$300
700w @8ohms
1250w @4 ohms
1900w @2ohms
Enough speakon and 1/4 jacks to run a lot of cabs
Super clean flat eq, takes pedals like a boss.

It's what I use and love. I run it through a fearful 15/6/1, and when I want to get real loud I add a fender rumble 2x8 and 1x12. Pumps so much air.
