For other low watt options I'd check Dave Gries, Swart and Star amps as well.

I would second the DRRI, and add the PRRI. I just got my PRRI and it's much warmer and luscious sounding than my Blues Jr. was. Both have soul and responsiveness that my HRD with Celestion and Blues Jr. did not have. The PRRI has the sort of sound I only heard in much more expensive amps.

I have no experience with them but a friend of mine just bought a Li'l Dawg and loves it. I think it fits your price range and its a hand wired custom amp that should fit your tone needs. Perhaps others can attest to actual experience other my hearsay. http://www.littledawgamps.com/

I've got these (both slightly under your target price) for high gain and low volume bedroom playing. Love those EL84 tubes.
Zinky Blue Velvet And Mesa Boogie F30 There are tons more choices both boutique and GC stuff in a wide variety of price ranges. Good luck!

The amp is actually an Alessandro Working Dog Boxer, not a Carvin amp. Here are some before pics: The original construction wasn't great to begin with.

Taylorplayer,
All the tech info you can find in the link below. Also make sure to look at the Q&A section so you can see Mr. Zinky's origins in amp design. http://www.zinky.com/ Also, do a search on the gear page (link below) and you will find other Zinky users (they know more about amps than I ever will) and their thoughts on the amp. http://www.thegearpage.net/board/ Personally, my biggest reason for liking it is the fact that I can dial in ZZ Top, ACDC, and even higher gain stuff like Zakk Wylde and Metallica, etc. inside my bedroom. You will need a pedal for nu-metal Godsmack type tones. I'm not very good at describing tones, etc. but I used it for an outdoor three song gig with a band not too long ago and I was very happy with the tones I got. We also did a Journey song and a Duran Duran song (I know, don't ask) that required cleaner tones with chorus and delay pedals and I was very happy with the Zinky's voice. Let me know if you have other questions.

Thanks very much.... those products are all very cool! I really like the "new" vintage reissue stuff ... all the vibe with a lot less headaches (and yeah, I hear it coming... I do own "original" gear too) "=) thanks again, Taylorplayer

being kinda "puritanical" i use a few different amps for different guitars/sounds..sometimes in tandems with a a/b/both switch but, all are tubes.
i like the fender twin reverb for straight up clean, the fender blues jr. for clean, pushed and saturated sounds, a peavey windsor studio for dirty or "altered" sounds and also for my dobro and archtops "clean". even a good used twin can be found (with some seraching) for around $800. the ohers are well within your range. the windsor is quite versatile and has some interesting features like the "sponge" that allows for break up/saturation at much lower volumes. no flies of the Peavey classic 30 either!..great amp and if i were looking for one now might be so inclined myself. it has most of the abilities of the blues jr ,..not quite as "clean" but, warmer if a bit heavier...besides, i love the look of the vintage old lacquered amp on the blues jr....fits my wardrobe..

We've got a Peavy Delta Blues at church as a back-up amp that gets play time every now and then. It's got decent tone, but tends to be a little muddy in the low mids. Some people like that, and call it warmth, others know different kinds of warmth and call it mud... Take that FWIW, but the 15" speaker on the Delta Blues likely contributes to the sound I'm describing. But otherwise, it has some very useable tones, both rock, pushed clean, etc. It doesn't sound like my Bad Cat, or like our other player's Divided by 13, but it holds its own quite well given it's price point in comparison to the other two.
