If you want amp that can do everything I usually use the Fryette Sig X. There is a lot of Hiwatt influence. The clean channel can cover the crunch - clean range. So can the other channels if you set them up that way.

I always wanted a Sig-X. I had an older D120 that was such a great amp. The Sig just looks like it has crazy flexibility.

Matchless Independence is one of my all time favorites. On a budget the Marshall DSL range (pick one) is hard to beat for excellent clean & crunch tones...I'm obviously partial to Marshall voiced circuits though

I really like my Tweed Bassman clone for cleans. I like it set right on the edge where you have to play a little softly to make it clean and if you play normally there is a little fur on chords.
For crunch I like my Super Lead clone set 'optimally' and then the guitar volume back a tiny bit.

Jackson amp works Mcfly was my ideal amp when playing country. Black face style on one side, brownface on the other. It was hard to make super clean, always on the verge of breakup , just where I liked it. Such an unreal punchy and authoritative tone.
Tone king anything is tough to beat for this as well.
Divided by 13 FTR 37 was the best deluxe reverb on steroids I ever played through.
When I think clean to crunch, these are the style of amps I think of. The only time I play clean or semi clean is playing country, modern country not so much. But I generally am not a fan of modern high gain high output power section amps for “clean”. They are far too tight and sterile for what I like to play when playing “clean”. However, the OG 5153 could handle any of this with ease to me. not surprisingly, it’s one of the most popular amps on the Nashville scene and has been for years.

Regarding 'crunch' tones, earlier itt I said my Super Lead with guitar volume backed off a little was my favorite crunch tone.
But there is also the 'chunk' tones. More gain and percussive-ness than crunch but not really a lead tone. Chug tone. And for that I like a 2203 circuit, boosted of course.
