The issue with most amps, is turning them down too much and having distortion makes them sound crap.
If getting the HD, get a tube amp, maybe... Line 6 - DT50 is the best I know of for that, so far from what I've heard, but pricey. Works with your Pod HD and auto-adjusts settings is pretty sweet to get the best tone for every tone you use. Still sounds great under low volumes as it's half digital and half tube. Vox - AD60VTX. Another solid-state preamp and valve poweramp so great at loud and low volumes, which would be pretty good and a lot cheaper. Blackstar HT1, like the big brother award-winning HT-5 valve amp sound but compressed to be quieter, without any loss of quality. Awesome sounding but not enough for gigging. The big bro HT-5 however is too loud for bedroom! The Mustang III should also be good for the bedroom, with great sounds at reasonable volume too, plus could be used for gigging levels. Note: Confusion about Watts, 1 Watt is actually about a 1/3 of 50 Watts in volume, around a jackhammer's volume level. 0.3 Watts is a Trumpet level. When 1,000 Watts would be Siren volume.

Where are you from mate? Amp's prices differ from country to country. Perhaps if you tell me roughly your location, I can give you more detailed answer along with prices and stores.

That HT-1 seems like a tasty amp. As usual with low att amps they tend to use those crappy 8'' speakers... good thing there's a head version!
http://www.blackstaramps.co.uk/products/ht-1/ht-1rh.html I'd love to try it. I bet it would still be too loud for apartment use, at least my ac4 is, even in 1 Watt mode. -------------------- Guitars:

I can suggest two interesting amps under 600$, first one is Fender Blues Junior 15Watter NOS
second one is Blackstar Venue HT20 amp Fender is more vintage style amp with sweet breakup, shimmering cleans and nice reverb. Blackstart is more modern, darker sounding amp with clear cleans and tight hard rock ovedrive. As for interfaces, it depends what you want to do with them. If your goal is to create complete songs, then you might wanna invest in a good audio card and some software guitar modellers. POD HD could be a good choice, but I'm not sure how it behaves as an audio card. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Lot of great advice here already.
Buy whatever decent you can afford and build it up from there. Don't wait for THE ultimate device out there. By the time it is released, it would've been outdated. And most of them are great "bang for buck" for people who really know how to use them or are willing to spend the time required to learn it. Otherwise it is just a waste of money. There is no magic tone out there. Make the best of whatever you can afford and focus on practising. Improve your gear with time and as you prove your dedication to the instrument over the years. Ignore all of the above, if you have a shit load of money to blow -------------------- "If the need is deep, you WILL find a way , if it isn't, you'll find some excuse"
