I am the proud owner of a Peavey Valveking 100 watt head. It can grab those sweet 80's and 90's metal tones pretty dang well, along with nice cleans and a great blues tone, but it is missing the tightness at higher gains to get Disturbed, Dorje, Iced Earth, etc. type tones. Are there any good sub $1,000 tube amp heads (I already have a nice cab with Vintage 30's) that can get those tones as well as be versatile enough to get a half decent blues tone and a good clean? I have been looking at the Mesa Boogie Single Rectifier, the Peavey 5150, Marshall DSL100h, and the Panama Shaman, but are there any others? And what do you think is the best one out there in this price range (I know its not a lot)? Thanks!

I'm not sure of your wattage requirements, but there's this amp by Blackstar that's tube and 50 watts. It's also under $1000. https://www.americanmusical.com/Item--i ... HMKII-LIST or this one, which is also 50 watts, but $170 cheaper. https://www.americanmusical.com/Item--i ... HMKII-LIST Those are at least two that I've thought of that might be what you're looking for.
