Epiphone
Although guitar amps aren't their specialty, Epiphone does offer quite a few models for sale. Someone ought to tip off their website developers about etiquette though - the site is intrusive and horrible.

Fender
The rather small amount of info presented on each Fender amplifier here is a bit disappointing. Those looking for Fender manuals should check out the Mr. Gearhead site.

Marshall
The website for this hugely popular amplifier company is a bit graphics intensive, so it can be clumsy to navigate. You'll find good info here on Marshall products, however (no prices listed though).
