... or something like that. Solid state, loud, reliable, old, cheap for the quality.

As for gain, I mean that he doesn't need a drive channel - it might be nice but a good solid loud clean sound will be fine.

just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
Thanks chaps, All good suggestions. He used to have a bandit and I guess we're looking for something a bit different from the typical valvestate/bandit - I lent him a fender twin at rehearsal last night and obviously it sounded great but is way more amp than he needs but something in that direction would great - decent clean, 1x12, maybe valves. Maybe a dsl combo? - I'm sure he could add a bit more cash but I doubt we'll get much past 300.

It's brilliant for me, and the drives are versatile - I can do blues, rock, heavy rock and metal, and the gain boost can help lower output pickups get more filthy.
The cleans are great. A hint of compression and neck single coil and I can get the exact sound of fruaciante on 'funky monks'. Really, really nice. I'm more of a dirt kinda guy, and it's not the best sounding amp in the world, but I think I'd rather have one than most valve amps, because it can get pretty much bang on the gain sound I want.
Edit: the thrash button looks to be a waste when you use it. Try this - high input, gain at 4 ish, lower output pickups and thrash button engaged, mids up, bass and treble to suit. You can pretty well ballpark a really nice, dirty fender amp sound that cleans up great.

But yes, if it had midi switching, I'd save that as a patch - just a great, slightly overdriven mid scooped tone.
