Used Peavey Classic 30 or 50. You can't go wrong.
How open-minded do I have to be before my brains start spilling out?

Excellent choice that is. If you could only throw another couple a hunskies at it, Fender Deluxe Reverb Reissue. Tone of Christ himself.

You know the best tone I ever had was with that little bandmaster cranked to 10. Edward Van Halen, 1980, Guitar Player Magazine.

Buy one that isn't broken.
A liar sucks way more than any asshole. Trust me...I'd know. I'm an asshole and that's not a lie.

to get a rough idea of whats available for the range... go to musiciansfriend.com and select amps... then on the left navigator, you can pick price ranges. if you are thinking used, put in a slightly higher range and then hit ebay and see if you can get a hit on anything you think looks good.
and of course come back with any specific questions to this forum and hopefully someone will have some experiance with what you are looking at.
good luck.I SURVIVED TEXAS LINKERS WEEKEND I, II, III, IV and VI and VII.barely made it to VIII time to slow down
I musta had a broken middle finger for V

I have an AVT 20 and that amp has very great tone. its also much louder than almost any other 20 watt amp. the AVT 20 is loud enough for gigs too. use mine all the time live and has great clean tone too. Try finding an amp used too. saves alot of money and the amp still sounds the same as one new.

If you can scrape together a few extra coins, you could go for Ed's rig from '86. Although it may not provide enough wattage.

Not Line6. I have Spider 2 and I love it, but as I said before - it's clean tone sucks, and with pedals it would sound horrid.

I chatted with Sucka earlier this week. He told me he hasn't been on here in years. I am sure he is happy though that Philly won.
