1 ReplyAre you learning guitar or do you know some already? Just a question. Try a local music store. If they don't have it, they can point you in a good direction. I play bass guitar myself and I love it.

Line 6 spider modular amps are great a spider 2 75watt is like 150 and you don't need a distortion as it has all these effects built in

5 RepliesEdited by John Doe: 11/14/2014 11:34:50 PMAny idea on if you want a combo or a tube amp? Because with that kind of budget you're gonna have a hard time finding anything other than a small combo and a decent distortion pedal. I'd personally recommend an Orange amp

It's got everything in terms of distortion, clean, fuzz, delay and reverb. it even has a great preset that transfers your guitar signal to make it sound like it's an acoustic guitar, which I love. So yea that's my pedal. And it only cost $100 for 100 different sounds. Plus you can mix and mash all the different pedals to make your own presets. Awesome! I play a lot of metal music as well, particularly prog metal. But I'm also fond of ambient music. In terms of an amp, you might not need one! What I do is run my fx pedal into my iPad on GarageBand and play through there with my headphones. This is affordable given you already have an iPad or iPhone or iPod touch to play through. And garage band also has its own set of effects including everything the pedal has. So if you were looking for something affordable you could just buy garage band, a $25 Ugig plugin for your guitar and you would be set. Not to mention you can also record like that into GarageBand. Have fun

It would suck to get one of the guitars from this list - or any guitar really - and end up not liking it 'cause of the neck alone.
