Amp question-Orange Crush 15R

Hi all,
Since I'm about to take delivery on my first electric guitar(the GN '51 wave of 2006) I'll be needing an amp. I'm a total newb and need an opinion on an Orange Crush 15R(reverb). I know that they're known for their tube amps and this is solid state but how is it? I'm not going to have much to go on as far as experience is concerned since I have none, I figure for about $100.00 it's a fairly good buy but are there other amps that are a better bang for the buck?

Thanks in advance, I really like this forum; loads of info from experienced people.

Nick

*wouldn't this be a pretty good starter set up? Squire '51 w/a 15R Crush
