Sonny, I have the monoprice stage right combo and it's ok, but not a very clean tone without breakup. This looks almost identical in a head version. I haven't experimented with tube swaps. Either way the head room is low for clean tone. My Fender Superchamp XD is much cleaner at 15 watts.

Fender Dual Showman Reverb amps can be had in the $600 range; 100 Watts of 4 x 6L6 power, nice preamp section with a great clean tone and fabulous (some think) reverb. Heavy? Yes, but any 100 watt tube amp will be heavy because of the big transformers. Run it through the 15" speaker of your choice. A rare bird you might like is a Fender 75 combo with 15" speaker; clean examples can be had for around $500 if you can find one local; kind of heavy and not really worth shipping.
