  If you want to just play around in the house on the T5, a Roland Cube Street is a decent little amp with lots of built in effects and amp modeling selections. For the acoustics, the Loudbox Mini is pretty awesome. I have both and they have more than enough power for my living room, and the very small restaurant that I play at, sometimes.

It's hard to beat the sound of a Fender reverb amp. I had a Bandmaster Reverb that I converted to blackface specs.  It sounded wonderful but I sold it as I transitioned from primarily electric player to primarily acoustic. I haven't gotten my electric out of its case in probably 2 years.

It's hard to beat the sound of a Fender reverb amp.

I absolutely agree - grew up on that sound and when I recently got a new '68 Custom Princeton Reverb and heard how nice it sounded with the  mini humbuckers on a Taylor SolidBody, I knew I had to get a Strat with three classic sounding single coils to get "that" sound.  I have a Yamaha THR10C that is a great practice amp with a good range of nice sounds (recommended) and also play thru an iPad with the Bias app some, but to hear that super clean Fender tube sound from some Fat 50's single coils with smooth analog reverb and even the simplest Fender tube trem is an electric guitar sound that just can't be beat for my old ears and brain.

For home use, jamming, or small venues you can't beat a VOX Pathfinder 15R

Cheap too!

 My favorite electric guitar amp is a Marshall DSL-1H paired with a Marshall JVM C212 extension cabinet. 1 watt of pure bliss. :)

Fender tweed

That narrows it down to a time period, but what model? I used to use a tweed Harvard amp for recording, but would never use it for a gig. Few amps out-boogie a blackface Vibro-Verb at a gig, though.

I have always wanted a Fender Deluxe Reverb or Princeton Reverb.

The amp I have is spectacular for the money though. Vox Pathfinder 15R. Tube-like tone and classic Vox styling at a great price. They may have discontinued them to steer people towards the little 5-watt combos and the VR hybrid amps.
