I use a Vox Valvtronix VT30 which gives me a lot of tones to play with on those warm Florida nights:
Another great modeling amp is the Peavey Vypyr series. check out the 15 watt model for $99:
Check out the Vypyr's clean tones [note - the presenter is playing active pickups and it may sound different that youre used to... fyi]:
Bottom line here folks is check out a modeling amp the next time you're killing time at your favorite music store. You may find a bargain... and get some great tone in the process.
Rock on Rangers...
