Daniel, that's a big question. If the Washburn is working now while you learn why fight it.
Ordinary 6 stringers like me usually prefer all tube amps. So maybe you can find a Fender Champ and feed a remote 4 ohm cabinet with it? You won't get much clear and clean with that setup but it's classic tube tone.
There's a thread on here called "what's your rig" or something like that. It's probably got several hundred entries. Read that for starters.
I build amps but know NOTHING about the requirements of PSG players other than it seems anyway that most prefer reverb and 15" speakers. Primarily the Peavey Black Widow which I think is made by Eminence but I could be wrong. The recently late Ted Weber maybe? His son is carrying on the business. You could call Weber. They sell kits.
Somebody give me an amen here if this is right. The Peavey 75 seems to be a standard too.

There are several amps that would sound good or possibly better than the Washburn amp you are currently using. Answers to a few questions will help in the way of giving you some meaningful advice. What kind of price range do you have in mind? New or used amp? How you plan to use the amp, I would assume at this point mostly as a practice amp?? Do you want to get an amp that will go from practice amp now to small venue gig or practice with other amplified musicians?? Answers to those questions will help with advice that will lead you in the right direction. You can likely get something new as well as used in the $100-$250 range that will sound pretty good. If you wanted to keep your eye out for a used Peavey Nashville 112, it would likely serve you now and long into the future. The same could be said of a Peavey Nashville 400. I don't think you would be disappointed in either of those. The NV112 is newer and lighter than the NV400. The NV400 is more powerful, and may be a bit cheaper, it is bullet proof and very versatile. However, many people have come to like the NV112 and find it works in many environments.
Good luck!
