Man, I'm betting those dual channel blue velvet amps are quite killer. I didn't really dig the True Grit, but I loved my Master Blaster. I wish I never sold that.
I've owned a 50W Blue Velvet for a little over two years now, and killer it is! The overdrive channel is phenomenal. You can cop about any overdriven tone from it with the exception of some of the super high-gain modern stuff. I do use a Bad Bob in front of it, but only to add some "hair" to the clean channel when needed, and some sizzle to the overdrive when I have my guitar's volume knob down a bit (5 or so). People will diss the clean channel as thin, but that's where the speaker impedance selector comes in handy. Move it from 16 ohms to 8 or 4 and you get more low and mid presence and still retain the majority of the chime.
Sorry to ramble, but for under a grand, it's sweet.
