Here's a 15 watt amp with built in effects, gain, E.Q , and everything: Roland Cube 15X amp You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

When I was at the same stage of amp shopping, I ended up getting a Peavey Classic Chorus for about 130. The nice thing about getting a bigger amp than you had thought of, is that A) it has a volume knob to keep the ladyfriend happy, and if jamming with friends turns into something more you dont need a new one. Just my 2c though. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.

The Kustom is a valve amp and has headphone jacks aswell. I guess the 100 buck Rolands does too. Chicks just love bad guys, get that amp without her permission. Be a little "dangerous" so that she doesn't get tired of you ;-) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I used it on stage and recorded all of our next album direct out. It sounds great. The new Spider3 sound as good and are cheap! Musiciansfriend has some cheap 15 watts...

After a reply....then ill just need to convience my g/f to let me get it Well, you might consider the Epiphone Valve Junior. Unfortunately they just raised the prices though. They are very popular practice amps. The amp itself just has volume, nothing else. However there are a bunch of mod kits out there, such as on ebay. I have the one that is just the head. Paid $100. They cost $130 now. Maybe you could find a deal. They also have one with a speaker for $20 more. However the speaker is cheesy they say. Most people run them though an external speaker. My head has 4, 8, and 16 ohm jacks. Not sure if the other one has anything but 4 ohm. Expect there is an easy mod for that, though. If you look on internet, you can see that there is a cult around these amps, with mods for them. I was thinking of getting a second one. Also consider, this is something you will probably like 10 years from now. If you get some $150 solid state amp with digital whatever, you won't be satisfied with it. If you get a little tube amp, you will be satisfied with it for what it is. You will still want another bigger amp, however, you will want to keep the little one as well. A 5 watt Class A tube amp. Just about everybody loves these little guys. I believe in tube amps, put your digital processing elsewhere. Tube amps live forever, solid state amps end up in the dumpster at some point. Oh, about the 5 watts. If nobody has explained this to you, the loudness of an amp increases much less than proportionately as you increase wattage. A 100 watt amp is only twice as loud as a 10 watt amp. In fact, a 1000 watt amp is only 8 times as loud as 1 watt amp. 5 watts is enough to make you neighbors complain, I assure you.
