Myles--
I'm going to ask you a question that I'm sure dozens of people have asked you before---perhaps even in this mega-thread. I'd search through all 65 pages for the answer, but I fear I'd pass out from all the reading I'd have to screen to find my answer
I am a new guitarist, and am seeking my first amp. It is overwhelmingly obvious that tube amps are superior to ss, but also seem to be pretty expensive overall compared to them...
I am a poor college student, working part time, with little in the way of expendable income.
What would your infinite wisdom recommend to someone like me in the vein of a lower-watt unit with a tilt towards rock, both modern and classic?
I do have a neighbor (duplex) so volume is somewhat of an issue---but not a defining restriction (I can practice when they're not home) and I don't have any gigging to worry about (for a few years, at my rate of learning, hehe)
Is there a solution in the tube world for someone like me, or should I just buy a ss unit?
Thank you so much in advance for your advice--
Matt

Thank you so much for your advice, Myles--
I decided to get a Guitar Port for the time-being--- it may not be high-fidelity, but I figure it is along the lines of what you recommended--something that will at least give me an idea of the sounds I want to experiment with. I like the fact that it plays through my computer speakers--(Klipsch 4.1) which are pretty nice--- and also, at $99 bux, allows me to get to saving for some of the good stuff you have me drooling over in this thread here
Many thanks again--- keep up the great work
Matt
