Please help me choose an amp for electric guitar. I want an amp suitable for home practice and in band and playing small gigs.
Recently made a move from acoustic to electric,but have little experience with the amps. I play Jazz/blues/funk/rock (in that order) with a les paul standard. No real heavy stuff. I've narrowed it down to the following amps, and my favorite so far based on quality is the Zoom Fire-36. http://www.zoom.co.jp/english/products/fire36/
but not sure if it will do the job for small gigs being 36 W
My second choice is the Marshall, Behringer or Ashton.
Any comments or suggestions?

Behringer V-AMPIRE LX1-112 2x50 watt
Behringer GMX212 2x50 watt V-Tone
Ashton GA100 100 watt
Roland CUBE-60 60 watt

I'd say go into a local guitar store and try them all out, see what sounds best to you.
I used to have a Marshall JCM800 1x12 50Watt combo which was really nice, but you can only get them on ebay these days.
Next thing I'm getting is a Roland Jazz Chorus 120Watt 2x12 combo. Try one at your local shop, you'll be blown away punchy this baby sounds, and it comes with quality effects built in. They go for a little less that $900, save if you don't have the cash now, you'll not regret it.

Line 6, Spyder III 30 or 75. The 30W baby still has a Celestion 12" speaker and that baby can be LOUD. Marshalls are really oldtimers and one-trick ponies, for jazz that Roland Cube 60 could be very nice.

Oh a fender blues jr is the way to go! They are small, 15 watts of tube power and work great with pedals. The are also very affordable and you can find a used one within you price range
