Vox is a great choice. Whether if you want 50 watt or 100 watt would depend on what you desire. The 50w should be loud enough for band practice but may need to be mic'd in medium to mid size gigs. I had a Vox Tonelab that appears to be the same as a the VT series amps and it was great. It produced such quality and cool tones, from jazz, pickin, acoustic to rock and hard rock tones. You could design your own tone to your own personal taste.

I would recommend Vox to anyone looking for a flexible amp. Oh, and they are priced at a great price.

Hope this helps.

Also check out the Peavey Vypyr and Crate V-series. I like to go to youtube and search for sound clips on different amps. So you can get a sense of their voicing and tone.
