it's to be used for practice, and I don't want to spend more than about
$200.

add another 100, and I'd suggest a Marshall MicroStack 15W. But, since
we're at 200, let's save you some dough and keep it in house at the same
time.
Gorilla Practice 20W
amp. This is plenty to get you up and running, and it won't
drain your fund. This saves your bacon in either one of the two possible
scenarios you're going to find yourself in a couple of months from now:
1) You've decided you hate the guitar, and you want to either park the gear
in the closet and move on, or try to hawk it on eBay. Resale value sucks,
but lucky for you, you didn't dump all of your dough on an amp that you
don't want and can't get your money back on
OR
2) You love the guitar, that's great to hear!!! You've decided to move on
to bigger and better things, whether it be goof with some other people, or
pick up the decibals while going solo. You've had a couple of months to
learn your likes/dislikes of your current setup and are now prepared to
make an informed decision. You've also smartly saved the 100 bucks under
the Playboys under your bed(don't deny it, I saw them) towards the purchase
of your next amp. You can keep the Gorilla since there will always be a
need for a less than fullsize amp to be lying around.
If you need a few more scenarios, please let me know, and I'll come up with
some...
thanks,

The Orange C15 crush is also a good little practise amp.
A friend of mine has one, he's even used it to record in the studio, I
believe it has a line out socket so you can plug an extension cab into
it.
They're ?75 over here in england, dunno what that is in dollars, probably
$130-140 ____________________

I use a peavey stereo chorus 212 but that's a little over your budget. Try
the V-amp2 all you need then are headphones or plug into the mixing board.
VERY versatile sounds. You can hear what it will do here if you like. It
got me lots of attention.

| I always buy used gear.There are so many people who buy a nice guitar and
amp and end up selling because they couldnt learn.I like The Fender
Prinston chourus.Its not to far out of your price range if you buy second
hand. ____________________
