That's quite a few different settings, it must take some time to get it dialed just right. I have a simple amp, only three adjustments in addition to the "on" switch: https://orangeamps.com/products/guit.../micro-terror/

I have heard of the Bugera, but I don't know anything about them. Maybe very good, maybe very expensive, I don't know... Line6 seems to be a right popular brand, I think they are a bit budget minded, affordable, but actually, I think they make pretty good stuff, from what I have heard from sources, and what you see for used for sale.

A favorite of mine as far as single cabs go is built in amp and speaker together is Blackstar. I only have a very small Blackstar, 1 watt.

I have a Vox modeling amp I like pretty well, it's 40 watt tube., compact size, but can still belt out some good tone.

Then there's this guy...

Gibson Slash Les Paul in front of Marshall 100H amp (Made outside US, but not in China, Vietnam I believe), and Marshall 1936 2 12" speaker cab, (made in England)



I also have a less expensive Vertical 2 12" cabinet made who knows where, sitting under a PRS 50 watt SE-50 head. I'll have to scope up photos of it in a bit.


I started with the PRS and vertical 2 12 cab from Marshall, I've tried a few other amps along the way. The Vox wasn't very expensive, and it's like pedals and amp all in one with it's tonal variations. It's quite an impressive amp for $250 or so I paid. The Blackstart was 137.00 and sits on my kitchen table, yes, it is 1 watt of TUBE power, haha with a BOOST button! Whew hooo! That's sort of like a test bench amp and to play along with lessons online.
