i bought my first electric guitar amp today. i got this:
http://www.kustom.com/products/guitar_amps/solo16dfx.asp
it's a kustom solo 16 DFX. it seems pretty sweet. i bought it for $150. i am totally amazed at how much sound it can produce. i haven't brough the volume past the middle notch because it's just so loud. it scares me. it also has 8 different digital effects, like this crazy ones that add all this echo and whatnot. i'm so happy. it sounds like i can actually play guitar now because i don't hear twangy electric noises when i play.
has anyone tried this amp, and what did you think? the guy at the store said it's the best one at it's wattage that he's seen. he said that all small amps claim to sound as good as the big amps, but he says this is the only one he's seen that comes close to their sound.
in sad news, my E string broke today, and i just had it strung yesterday. tear.
Seems pretty decent for a fairly cheap amp.
Congrats! :)
