Good SRV/SANTANA Tube Amp under $500?



Hi,

I am starting to do research on buying a good tube amp. I have a ross
compressor and a couple of tubescreamers. I am looking for a good tube
amp (not a combo) that is under $500 and nails that rock bluesy grit.
Kinda simalar to SRV or Santana tone. Any suggestions would be
appericated.
