a lot of the Dr Z range are really good for country twang, some of the route 66 models are excellent for it too but they are at the upper end of the scale, although there are 2 Dr Z's in the classifieds section at good prices.
Of course the Fender's range are what you think of straight away.
EricTheWeary raises an interesting question, I certainly don't consider the vox sound to be country twang.
AC30s are used a lot by country players and their derivatives like Hayseed amps.
I think Dr.Z's are popular too.
from somewhere in the back of my memory Brad used the AC30 on his first 3 albums and said it was a naturally warmer, more compressed tone than a Fender and so didn't need a compressor pedal always on like so many country players do. So @Georgie could check some early Brad to see if that sound fits the bill, if not then he's chasing Fender cleans. Random thought : Egnater Tweaker ? Would put you in the Fender and Vox ball parks?
Other alternative would be a Hughes kettner statesman which has a great clean channel.
But it does depend on the type of country you mean I think as to whether it would be any good for your needs. I play some country, but more old style like Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, that generation rather than the more modern style. It works for me for that but no idea if it would or not for modern sounds, not something Ive tried on any amp
oh and i use a Tele, I believe they are quite popular in country bands?
Really??? lol!!!
Do you have any vids for me to watch so I can get an idea of the sounds you are playing and the amp in 'action'?
I have the 51, for twangier stuff a different bridge pup isn't a bad idea. I have an Oil City thingy in mine - Cow T Ron I think.
