Lower wattages are available. Some variants now accept stereo input signals. This might be important for pedalboard use.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the Peavey Bandit.
Terrible with pedals, even on the 'JC Clean' sound - my little Vox AD15VT sounded far better with any type of distortion in front. I was really surprised how bad it was.
Because the budget is up to a grand, and even I would admit you can get a better solid-state amp than a Bandit for that .
A Supreme, for example .

Supreme was the one I meant, I knew you were a fan :P
The Vox was just so much better and more valve-amp-like.

There's only one for me...

Trace Elliot Supertramp(v1) - 80watts of great clean and crunch tones, I actually toured the head version for 3 years.
Kustom KGA65 - brilliant sounding compact combo that can be had for very little money.
Marshall VS100r - three channels and they all sound excellent.
The funny thing is that they sound better than the second version with the valve in it, although the second one is more robust.
I really don't understand the lack of awareness about Kustom - every one of their amps I've played, from the Coupe valve amps right down to the little 10W 6" speaker practice amps, sounds far better than it has any business doing at its price point and in many cases genuinely good at any price.
These sound brilliant too, just with a couple of minor reliability issues that are easily fixed - the unnecessary headphone jack in particular - but the long-term prospects aren't great, they're just a bit too flimsy to hold up in the very long run. If they were built a bit better they'd be a real classic.

The best solid state amps are the Roland Jazz series - if you have a PA then a Roland JC-40 Jazz Chorus is worth checking out. Takes pedals very well and has an fx-loop.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
