Hey Bro,
I think any combo amp from the Marshall MG sereis would do you fine.
Ive got a little MG 10watt which I use for warmups and it cranks. It set me back $100, but you can get 25watt ones and 50watt for a bit more dosh.

But just look on ebay as you can get them heaps cheaper. :wink:
That the US, not Australia
sorry mate, and they are way out of the price range unless I can get them 2nd hand for alot less
"I am a Australian"
I think the Roland Cube series is a great place to start. Reasonable prices and a well-made product.

Take a look at the Vox Valvetronix AD30VT. Great feel, great sound, resonable price. Has plenty of amp models to make pretty much any basic tone you are looking for.

Even the AD15VT is sort of pushing it price wise, so I sort of doubt that I could fork out the dough for an AD30VT. Do they sound and perform better than the Vox Pathfinder 15R, cause I have heard that & it sounded shiite.
Also I have heard the Alesis Spit Fire 30 in store and the Roland Cube 30 & thought they were good, but the Alesis Spit Fire 15 doesnt have overdrive, would this be a problem for my music tastes?

You would most definitely need overdrive to sound like the majority of those bands you mentioned.

So are there other functions Ild need like reverb as well?

Every band uses their own type of effects so it's hard to say, it might be a good idea to try out some amps with effects built in.

Yeah I have heard the following amps:
Alesis Spit Fire 30
Vox Pathfinder 15R (didnt much like)
Roland Cube 30 (Too expensive)
Roland Cube 15 (Didnt get much of an idea from it though)
Randall RG25RXM (Sounded a little off)
