What are some of the best kind of amps that can get that bluesy Black Keys sound for a decent price? What settings would you use too?

It depends what do you mean for "a decent price"? Auerbach used variety of vintage, cheap amps, just like Jack White (hmm, I wonder why he said so much shite about Black Keys), and vintagey cheap amps will sound really good. Silvertone 1472 or 1482 are really good choices for this, however, I don't know if 400 dollars is a decent price, who knows?

That's Andertons take on it.

You'll need to be more specific, but he usually just uses Fender style amps with a high headroom so I'd suggest a cheaper fender, blues junior, etc.
