I'm mostly into blues, indie and punk , and on a tight budget, which of these would you recommend?

You got three good options there. If your willing to take suggestions, look for the Vox Mini 3. Great little amp. Little fucker has tone for days and if I ever needed it to, will shake my house along with the neighbors.

Thing is i live in Romania, and the only music store around here only has these three , but i'll look for a vox too.

Have you looked at Thomann? They deliver free to the uk on a lot of items so I expect it's the same for Romania.

Personally, i'd go with the tonemaster. It has the advantage if having a gain knob. I've had the Orange one, it's definetly not the best there is, but it does the job. It doesn't sound all that great, since it can't really handle more than four strings played at once. Otherwise the clean channel is pretty nice. Unfortunately i have no experience with the '57. Seems it's more suited for older genres of music.

I think they all actually sound quite similar. I have one of those lil Dano Honeytone amps, imo It's actually superior than the ones you have listed, it just doesn't have the spiffy mini amp looks. If you plan on playing through headphones, I'd suggest a multifx with amp modeling.
