for a beginner I would go for a marshall solid state reverb pratise amp. Around 140$ I think. Plenty loud. 15 watts solid state is great unless your planning on playing a big show sometime soon.

I went to the store a while ago to check out some amps. The marshall amps seemed to blow the fender frontmans outa the water. And I am a fender head.

So go to the stoor and try out a bunch of amps.

See what you like

These are cool as are the new Orange Crush series.

Also Vox has a nice practice amp series and Peavy. Stay away from fenders cheap stuff. The dyna touch amps are good for paper weights and that's about it.

Marshall has fairly good stuff too.

I started with a Peavy.


The Brian May Vox Deacy looks really cool as well.

Here's and Orange Crush on Ebay. THey sound better than anything in the under say $200 I have heard. Closed back. Nice rich bass in such a small amp. Orange did it right, but then again they do everything right.

If you want something more than just a bedroom amp, I like the Peavey Bandit II as a basic beginner's amp. It's big enough to gig with, but solid-state, so reliable at low volumes for practicing. It really sounds great with the extension cabinet, too. Makes a little mini-stack.

I agree on the little Fenders... unless it's an old all-tube Champ or a new Pro or Blues Junior.

If you want something small and cool and basic, I love my little battery-op Pignose:

With the AC adapter, it's great in the bedroom... with batteries, it's great on the beach, in the park, on the streetcorner, etc. I've even used it to pre-amp a bigger amp, and it gets really classic gritty distortion! It's one option, anyways...
