I just helped out my sister when her little Crate "Taxi" finally gave up the ghost... got her one of the new little Vox acoustic amps for $225 at my local store here in Corvallis, then drove it up to her in Washington.
She plays and sings through it and it sounded nice... we did a little show at a local art gallery event and her amp sounded good to me; not as good as my AER Compact 60, but the Vox cost 1/5 of that, new...
Just keep looking, you'll find something with the sound you want... realize that you are not going to get audiophile sound quality from a low-priced unit, and go from there...
I've seen those Loudbox Mini's for around $225, used in good condition, as well...
