NEED HELP! New Guitar or Amp??

Ok, so I have both a crappy amp, a crappy guitar, and some pretty good pedals.
This is My Setup:
-Guitar: Beat up Squier Bullet with a Gibson Faded Flying V stock humbucker in the bridge.
-Amp: Fender Frontman 212r (old version) with a broken channel switch. Only works when the footpedal is plugged in.
- Pedals: EHX Small Stone, Small Clone, Memory Boy. Dunlop Original Crybaby, and Devi Ever Rocket Fuzz.

What I need help deciding, is whether I should buy a new guitar or a new amp? I would like both, of course, but money is a bit tight.

The Guitar I am considering is either a Fender Jaguar HH or Jazzmaster. and the amp, a used Fender Twin Reverb.
Thanks

My Budget is around $1000, probably a bit less. The sounds I'm trying to get are some that are heavy with fuzz, sound great clean, but are also good for noisy experimentation.

Also, would a Peavey Valveking be a good amp choice?

What's your budget and what is the sound you are going for.

From looking at your pedals and current gear, I would make the following assumptions that you might like these.

Fender '72 reissue Telecaster Custom

Fender Classic Player Jazzmaster


Peavey Classic 30

Vox Ac 15

Fender Blues Jr.

The Fender Jaguar Classic Player HH is a wonderful guitar and I've always loved mine, but as soon as I got it home and put it through my Fender Frontman, it sounded like any other guitar through the same amp, be it a Squier or a PRS. I only realised what a difference the amp makes when I started playing through Orange Tiny Terrors at high volumes, which kicks the crap out of my Frontman! I think Messy Bedroom is spot on with gear ideas, since he's listed great amps at low prices! I can vouch for the Peavey Classic 30 stack, which I love for it's country cleans and bluesy overdrive!
