I was looking at spiders, but they are kinda pricy, and I am cheap ^_^. I am also looking for power, about 70 watts is hoped.

I understand your dilemma, but sometimes we have to just bite the bullet. For example, I am cheap, but the Fender Twin Reverb was made for me...I knew it the moment I played it. So, it's in my practice room/studio right now. The Spider III seems like it is made for you. Great modeling, plenty of power, very versatile...oh and IT HAS CELESTION speakers and a decent price ($200 - 500 depending on model). Dude, don't deprive yourself of something that is going to help you advance musically...after all, we're guitar players right? We play music and buy gear.

wager what! interior the studio, web site continually used low-wattage tube amps. i'm conversing 5W or so with a single 12" speaker. Lifeson did a similar. stay is a diverse tale. the massive extensive amps are truly basically for tutor. no one ever desires a 100W amp... ever. web site and Lifeson probable used 50W rigs on point, yet even this is slightly intense. Tube amps sound the superb while they're cranked each and every of ways, and there basically is not any subject the place you may crank a 100W amp. despite in case you're enjoying Madison sq. backyard. If a 30W amp won't fill the room, you're getting mic'd, and as quickly as that mic is going down, your volume might desire to maintain on with. so which you decide on that Zeppelin and early Rush tone? Get slightly tube amp. i choose to propose the Vox AC4 or the Laney Cub8. the two a type of are under $200. in case you have have been given slightly larger budget, pass some thing that has a 12" speaker.

Well ive got a Roland cube 30, which is thirty watts, and it has presets with the swich of a dial to be clean, acoustic, black panel (Typical Peavy style sound), Brit Combo (Beatles style), Tweed (Marshall style), Classic stack, Metal stack, and R-Fier stack (A more distorted heavy meatl sound). It works great for all types of music styles, and on top of that has reverb, delay, and other effects. Great versatile amp, i love it!

I love my Marshall. It sounds good with all types of music. It's just a 30watt but I use it to play shows and it's great. Also, Laney amps are popular with musicians of all genres.

I have a fender combo 25 watt amp, and it works pretty well, and if you find something bigger then it would probably be even better

I would get a Crate amp if I were you. they're not expensive and they get amazing tone. If you want a better amp and you are willing to spend more money buy a Mesa Boogie.
