I want to get something to match my Vox in terms of power and tone, but it has to be a nice amp under $1000

Nathan, gonna be a bit hard to match the Vox tone with a Fender. Esp the AC30 that uses four EL84 in Class "A" mode. Pushing Bulldog speakers.

Many amps is a must in my opinion. And a Fender tubes' amp is a very good choice. If you buy it second hand Silver face , you are better to test BEFORE buy and know a qualified tech to do some tune-up if it is a old am . After it will work for 10 years at least. Some mid '70 and later SF are poor.

Under $1 K is not enough IMO

Your Vox ;

Nice amp with 4 X 6V6 .

From Vox.com;

The VOX amp for the player with “Stateside” tastes
Despite their British VOX pedigree, the TB35C1 & TB35C2 amplifiers have a decidedly American feel, thanks to Tony’s influence and design. The all-tube chassis features a quartet of 6V6 power tubes, known for their smooth and clean high end, creamy mids, big bass, and for their rich “breakup” when overdriven. The preamp stage is driven by three 12AX7 preamp tubes, plus an additional 12AX7 paired with a 12AT7 tube to drive the reverb unit. Together, they create a distinctive sound familiar to fans of American Blues and Country music. The single-channel preamp offers both High and Low level inputs, as well as Volume, Bass, Middle, and Treble controls. External speaker jacks and extension cabinet jacks are standard equipment on both models. The TB35C1 and TB35C2 are equipped with Celestion G12-65 loudspeakers, all mounted into rugged birch-ply cabinets.

My choice of amp is something with tremolo and reverb, and have that classic Fender Clean :D and a pedal for the gain
