I'm looking for a used Fender combo to use with my Vibratone and I'm wondering which of these three would be the best choice? Or something else. Any suggestions? I need to stay in the $200 range.

In my experience any amp with DSP requires the mindset that less is more. Keep any and all f/x you use at low levels for best results in the long run. In the short run you will be tempted to crank up your f/x. That would be a mistake in my opinion. Most digital processing sounds weak when used at medium to high levels. My opinion, of course. Usually I find that newbies love it because it hides the flaws in their playing and then they become addicted to that protection from the truth that they can't really play all that well. My advise .... keep your f/x set low and work on your technique, regardless of what skill level you're at, even if you're already quite handy. Use the way you touch the guitar with your hands to find your tone. All the great players have great hands.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.
