Oh yea, back on topic, the new Vox AD series (15, 30 and 50) are not too shabby. The 15 or, how about a Micro Cube (BIG sound for the bucks)are worthwhile investments....... Oh yea, new AC30 this Sat.......was I impressed...

Thanks for all the great suggestions I got this Pathfinder 10 today It was NIB for $85.I could probably find something better and cheaper on Ebay but this one is so damn cute I had to have it.

Wow!This amp far exceeded my expectations.This exactly what I wanted.Classic look and killer tone in a tiny package.The distortion works perfectly with my 325.I'm so glad I got this amp.

Try one of these if you can find one. Premier amps are not only vintage and sound great when taken care of, but not expensive, either!
This model is the Model 120, built around the mid-1950's.

Mitch, I just clicked on your profile to see if you were in my neighborhood--NOT!

(I wanted to have a look at that Premier!)

I notice that you're 50 and you mention that you're taking guitar lessons. You are to be commended for that!
