Well, just another one to consider; a Fender Frontman 25R. Their inexpensive, portable and a decent practice amp.

My own recommendation would be the Marshall Class5 fully valve/tube driven combo. It has no onboard effects or other gizmology, it just does fabulous valve fuelled sound, from a very nice clean tone to a classic bluesy, drivey Marshall thang.

+1

That's what came to mind as I was clicking on this thread.

Got to play my Class 5 today as it lives at our rehearsal room. I haven't been there in two months so I wasn't over familiar with it.

Gotta say, I hate having it there. It sounds so good, so good...

Mine was a special edition that cost me a little more than a regular one. It has no extra features, just fancy cloth and it's white. But I'd be happy to pay twice what I did for it. Proper single ended, class A like a Champ, but still quintessentially 60's Marshall in it's gain structure.

Treble, Middle, Bass and Volume, thats it and it sounds divine for it

On the amplifier discussion sites, they are raving about the Bugera V5 5W 1x8 Tube amp. I want this for practice and its less than $200. But you can connect to an external speaker, and you can run it at 5, 1, or 0.1 watts, which is useful at bedroom sound levels. Check it out for your purposes. And its a tube amp.

Another is a Yamaha THR a modeling amp good for recording and practice, and costs about $300.
