Super Champ XD, although it will cost you 300, it's worth the extra bucks.

Super Champ XD best in this price range. Often on sale at GC for under $300. You might also consider the Vibro Champ XD always available at $200 new.

True. About the only pedal you might NEED would be a wah pedal. Or, if you don't care for the onboard effects, something to replace that particular effect. That's what's good about this amp, it gives you a choice on how you spend your money on extras. Look at it this way, $300 new maybe over budget for you, but, you can make up for that by not having to spend a ton of money on effects.

The only problem is your wah is always first in the effects chain. That's not always a good thing.
