Hey all, pretty soon here after I pay my dad back for summer camp, I am planning on getting a combo amp for practicing and jamming,and I have narrowed it down to three choices.

Line 6 Spider III 15
http://www.guitarcenter.com/Line-6-Spider-III-15-15W-1x8-Guitar-Combo-Amp-103944831-i1168996.gc
It has 15 watts with 8 in. speaker, and 6 built in effects, 4 preset channels that can be replaced with your own settings, and a three band EQ

Kustom Tube 12a
http://www.guitarcenter.com/Kustom-Tube-12A-Practice-Amp-481230-i1145535.gc
12 watts with 8 in. speaker, OD channel, and 3 band EQ, plus, its tube

Crate FlexWave FW15R
http://www.guitarcenter.com/Crate-FlexWave-FW15R-15W-1x12-Guitar-Combo-Amp-481055-i1175926.gc
15 watts with 12 in. speaker, OD channel, 3 band EQ, and Reverb


So which amp do you guys think I should get? The line 6 looks great because of its buit in effects, the kustom because it is tube powered, and I have heard some really good things about the crate. So what do ya'll think? Thanks for the help

Personally, I'd go for something with a 12" speaker and no onboard effects, other than reverb or tremolo, but thats just me. Amps are like guitars, and you need to try these out for yourself to see what works the best for your style of music and needs.

My first choice would be the Kustom, then the Crate.
