Lately, I really like the Blackstar line of combo amps. I bought a HT-1R
as a travel & practice amp. It's plenty loud even at 1 Watt.
I think both companies (Orange & Blackstar) were founded by former
Marshall techs.
Thing is, I don't think either of them offers the kind of country
"twang" that the Telecaster is really famous for.
If that's what you want, you're probably going to want to find a Fender
amp to go with it. Fender made quite a few 40w tube combo amps over the
years. I like the Vibrolux Reverb myself, but they're getting hard to
find & kind of pricy.
But you can find the Hot Rod Deluxe & Blues Deluxe amps at reasonable
prices. The only drawbacks I'm aware of with them is that some complain
the PC Board design has flimsy mounts for the pots & jacks.
OTOH, my current amplifier "holy grail":

... which are currently somewhat scarcer than hens teeth.

Thank you, Chris!
I'm hoping the 35-watt Orange will do the trick. I was really impressed
with the 20-watt version of it when I played through it at the guitar
shop. Right now, I'm playing through a Behringer -- which is OK, but not
great.

Next, the Orange PiX CR35LDX combo amp, which I hope to get next week
when I
finally get paid for the wedding I photographed a couple of weeks ago.
