Epiphone Valve Special, with onboard reverb, and add a Digitech Bad Monkey overdrive. Easily within your budget, fills all your requested needs.
Your Boss RV6 should be plenty good also, if you want your 'verb in pedal form. |

If you buy the Katana 100 watt you will really need the optional foot pedal to be able to switch effects in and out otherwise the effects are a bit useless live unless you only want one sound and one volume.
I would recommend you listen to amps on your shortlists on Youtube. A lot of demos are useless but the better ones have the amp close-miked into a decent audio interface and if you listen with decent speakers or headphones it can give you an idea. Better than nothing. I've just bought a Marshall Code 25 amp and I'm still gassing for a valve amp.

It is better than most modeling amps to be sure, but I found the clean tones of the Fender Champion superior. Neither touch the clean tones or raw power of the Blues Jr which is far more organic sounding, as it should be. I tried the Bugera V22 and was disappointed a bit too. To be fair, I didn't spend much time with it but it sounded very plain and "vanilla" to me. I'm sure better tones could be gotten from it but it's not really in the running (for me) due to size and weight. The Blues Jr is about 10 lbs lighter, but still heavier than I would prefer. Sometime you do what you gotta for tone. I would also add that the Fender Super Champ X2 is worth considering. Not as powerful as the BJ and the clean isn't as good, but it was much better sounding to me than the Katana. They can be had used for $250-275 and the BJ for $275-359 - at least in my area. Hope this is helpful and good luck.

Boss KATANA 50w , volume pedal and maybe an over drive/ boost pedal.
I have heard of a foot switch for going between the gain/regular channel. but, have not found one yet.

Yeah single channel but so many features that the single channel thing is almost a non issue. Having so many models and effects at a touch of your tablet or optional footswitch. And they do sound really good. I’d go with the 100 because of the Celestion speaker, but the 40 should be good enough for church. |

UPDATE: The bugera deal didn't go through (was asking for too much) and
i was too impatient to wait for the holiday deals. Ended up getting a peavey classic 50 (the new-styled ones) for $275. I like how it sounds so far, only con is that it's pretty heavy. |

Congratulations! I bet it sounds awesome. I have always loved Peavey's stuff.
