That's a JC60 all day.

I've seen JC's on craigslist near me for $250 a couple times. There is a JC77 for that price up now, so you should be able to grab one for a real nice price.
Local shop here has one for $800 though :picard:

When you guys are talking JC60/90/77, you're talking about Jazz Chorus amps, not Jet City amps, right?

I haven't played one, but found this on MF:
Rocktron VH160R Vendetta 160W Guitar Amp Head

160 solid state watts, in stereo, with a stereo effects loop, and a tube preamp that you can use to get distortion. Footswitchable reverb.
Best part: $430 new. MF has a like new one for $373. That's enough savings to buy cabs.

Pretty sure 160W into left and right cabinets is going to be loud enough to gig with.

Both of those heads would fit your req's. The MIG-50 has a sorta Fender sound, no master volume, gets very loud IMHO. But single channel, no reverb.

Yep, That Fender has a Fender sound too! :lol:
Both of these amps were made for pedals weather they knew it or not and as far as reverb goes pedals offer a lot more options.

+1 for the ZT stuff. Those amps are pretty incredible.
