What amp am I describing?

[blacktiger]

Brown Vibroverb reissue.

I'm using a Fender Concert (from the II series around 1983, not the 60s one) and it is maybe the last of the cheap(ish) fender handwired amps.  The clean channel is great (great reverb, no vib/trem).  Lots of different configurations, too: 112, 210, 410 (mine).  Can be found for $400-600.  ("concert amp" and "concert reverb" are different ones from later on).  60watts, which ain't quiet.

Look into old musicman combos, too.  Everyone I know who has one claims it to be a dream amp.  (112 RD, etc)

I'm tired of my Blues Junior. I've decided that instead of sinking more money into it for a speaker change, mods, etc. I should get a new amp, for I have changed my needs. Also, this would be after I purchase my Jazzmaster, might be something to keep in mind.

-First off, I'm looking to gig with this amp.
-I'm looking for something that has some clean headroom. I don't mean a high power Twin, but something where I can play clean on the bridge pickup and not have it distort. I'm starting to play a lot more clean and definitely a lot more barely broken up tone. You know, where it's not exactly dirty, but it's not exactly clean. My Blues Junior distorts too early. Now before anyone tells me to speaker swap or tube swap...
-I want something with 6V6/6L6 power tubes. Something Fendery, something American.
-I want some great reverb, or at least better than my Blues Junior. Trem is a plus, though it's not absolutely necessary. Footswitchable =
-I'd like this dream amp of mine to be a combo, and less than $1000.

Now, what I don't want:

-I don't want any onboard effects other than trem/reverb.
-I don't want a modeling/solid state amp.
-I don't want a Marshall/British style amp. This would be complimenting my other guitarist's Vox AC15.
-I don't want a ton of different channels and voicings. I just want to be able to play the damn thing.

Other notes:

-My main influences are Cold War Kids, Elvis Costello, Ryan Adams, Wilco, Delta Spirit, The Ventures and the Shins.
-I'd rather have something that does a good clean/slight break up sound (I could goose it with a pedal if I needed any more breakup) then a total gain machine. (Or I could just add a master volume... )
-The only other guitar I'd get besides a Jazzmaster is a Telecaster later on, so that might play into an amp selection?

Am I describing an amp that's actually in production? Before anyone says DRRI, I've tried one out, and I wasn't totally sold. I've also heard it pretty much hates pedals due to the bright cap and the speaker, and I'd hate to spend $850 on an amp only to spend $150 more on a speaker. Though the used prices aren't that bad. Also, I've been recommended a Super Reverb. Do they make them in anything that's not a 4x10?

Honestly, I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks for all the help, guys!

Sounds like a Carr Rambler to me.  Check these out - expensive but you won't be disappointed given the description of what you are after.

You are describing a real Deluxe Reverb.  I cannot blame you much for being tepid on the reissue.  I'm pretty tepid on them too, although I did play one that sounded good once.

Yeah, I was gonna say, why hasn't anyone mentioned a straight up Deluxe Reverb?  You can find a silverface DR that's been modded back to Blackface specs for about $800-$900

the Silverface Vibrolux Reverb

.. would be my recommendation.
