Well, i don't know a whole lot about amps, even though i've been playing for a few years, and i was lookin to get a new amp and was wondering if anybody could give any recommedations on a good amp that isn't too expensive
Welcome to GN!
Here's the standard cut&paste reply ;)
-What is your budget?
-What music do you play?
-What other gear do you have?
-In what setting do you plan to use it?
well my budget is up to about $700, i play rock, stuff like Guns 'N Roses, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, stuff like that, and i have an epiphone SG G-400. i plan to use it for practicing in my bedroom and playing in a garage with my friends/band
I just purchased this one a couple of months ago, and would recomend it for the style you play: http://www.music123.com/Crate-GT212-i114102.music
Or, if you want, it comes in a half stack also: http://www.music123.com/Crate-GT1200HS-i128898.music
I've played this one too at the shop while deciding which to buy, and it kicks out some nice sounds too: http://www.music123.com/Crate-GLX212-i90524.music
I just didn't need all the on board effects. Check 'em out at your local store and see what you think.
Good luck,
Dan

At that budget you have tons of options. Check these out, among others:
Marshall DSL401
Fender Hotrod Deluxe + some kind of booster pedal (Ibanez TS9, Boss SD1, etc)
Line6 Flextone
Vox AD120VT
Vox AC30 112 (might be just outside the budget)
I myself would go for digital stuff if you were planning to use it a lot in your bedroom, but thats a personal preference. Make sure you get something to tame tubeamps if you go that route, Joe can tell you all about them.
