Default Jazz Amp Recommendations

Ok.. So a while back I got a Epi ES-175 for my 19 yr old son. He's in college and plays in a Jazz band (drums, bass, Trumpet, Trombone and Sax) and him on Guitar.

I've been loaning him my little Vox 15 Pathfinder. But it isn't enough amp ... Turned up it is too distorted and buzzy for him (playing clean jazz). It's pretty much a practice amp. Not really enough to keep up.

Trying to figure out an amp... Needs to be lightweight and smallish.. Since it will be in his dorm (4th floor walk up). I'd like to keep it around $300.

I'm thinking solid state.. Not necessarily a modeling amp. Since he doesn't use effects. Just a touch of reverb.

Wish I hadn't sold my Bugera 22. That prob would have been perfect.

So What would you suggest?
