Better save your money for something at least 12" and 30, 40W. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I play through a pod w/ phones despite the amp a lot of the time. Another good amp is one of these, if you can find another $50 to spend. Vox 1x10 tube hybrid.
