I was going to suggest the AX-84 but Blackdog beat me to it. I built a clone of the Fender Vibro-Champ for our son. Worked great. It had a little hum that I could have eventually gotten rid of but as soon as he got it, I could never get it back to work on it.
I used a 5U4 for the rectifier instead of the 5Y3 because I had a box full of the old "coke bottle" type 5U4s. I also used a 6L6G as the output tube instead of the 6V6. I just dig the groovy look of the "S" shaped tubes.
Actually, he would change the output tube from the 6L6G to the 6V6 to get a different sound.
One good thing about Fender amps is that all of the schematics and layouts are FREE online.
In any case, I wish you luck and please do keep us up to date on your progress.
cheers,
