So I'm in the market for a new guitar amp. I'm playing in a band with a very jangly, REM / Guided By Voices kinda sound, so I'm looking for something that compliments that. All I've got right now is an old Crate solid state combo, that sounds pretty shitty... so I need to upgrade.

I want a tube amp for sure. I've played a few Fender reverbs that sounded really good. The other day I tried out a Vox AC30, and that thing sounded great. Huge tonal range, and pretty cool features. The problem with the Vox is that they're made in China now, and I've had a few people tell me that they sound great for a little while but crap out pretty quick. I have no idea if that's true or not, but it's what a few people have told me.

I'm no amplifier expert, so I'm looking for suggestions.
What amps do you play?
What would you recommend?
