There's really no single preamp in that price range worth buying. The lowest priced preamp I'd even consider buying is a Groove Tubes Brick.

You can't really get a descent rackmount preamp for that price range, but you can get a good tube foot pedal preamp that handles distortion/overdrive only. Some example are the Mesa Boogie V-Twin, Hughes & Kettner Tubeman, and Radial Tonebone pedals. One that I have been looking at recently is the Damage Control Demonizer pedal.

It might be above your price range, but the M-Audio Tampa has a characteristic sound, and it's not too expensive.
