I'd go for a Vox AC15 or a Blues Junior.  Just make sure to replace the crappy reverb and tubes if you get an AC15.

Gave the BluesJr another play today while grabbing the Jag.. cool little amp, fits within the ball park price wise too and plenty of mods on the web for it.

Idea being that the guitar/amp setup does'nt exceed 700-800$ of new value. So it fits within the nice average setup lots of people use.

What about a Laney? Cub or Lionheart depending on the budget

+1 on the TA-15. Small size, multiple power options (5/15/25) and master volume, with Fender, Vox, Marshall, and Mesa voicings. Good cleans, though not super loud, and surprisingly loud cranked. It's a great little amp.

400$ would be my target budget for the amp, have'nt thought of Laney, i'd like something that i can try before purchasing... might need to do a road trip to Montreal or Toronto as the variety here is very limited.

If you want a worst case scenario amp, Marshall MG15 could be it.

I would do recommend an Egnater tweaker.  Pretty versatile and there is a 10w version.

I've got a Blackheart Handsome Devil 112 and I've been really happy with it.  It's worth trying one out if one crosses your path.

I agree that testing with single coils and humbuckers is a good idea. 
Also, amp wise I would consider something with an fx loop. It seems to bring out noises that otherwise wouldn't be heard.

Orange Tiny terror - the option to run at 7/15watts and a good range of clean to dirt to doom...

Takes dirt pedals exceedingly well too.

Typically for a good pushed clean, I run mine with the volume all the way up, and adjust the gain for a good bedroom volume level. not sure what the combo's go for second hand, but I picked up the cab and head separately for good prices

I would recommend taking a look at the late 60's Thomas organ Vox SS combos like the Pacemaker or cambridge reverb. You get a little more punch with a 10, yet still have a nice small, portable amp. These can still be picked up fairly cheap, yet have that great vintage vox vibe. If the organ amp guts i pulled out are any indication, these have a warm tone and take effects very well.

Peavey Classic 30 or a Carvin Nomad would be good choices.

I second the Peavey. Much better than the reputation. I swapped the speaker in mine, been playing it for years.

I own a Special 6 and it is a great little amp. And fully moddable. But being single-ended and a low-watter, I don't think it's a good solution for you. A bigger amp with higher headroom is what you need. 
Also, I have played with a Transatlantic and it is awesome. Really! But a little pricey..

P.S. Yes guys! I'm back. After a lot of time. Almost a year.  But I always was around here reading your threads!
I'm happy I'm back! See you in my upcoming build reports.
