Well I recently purchased a used strat, so now I need an amp.  Nothing fancy or tremendously loud just something I can use in my house to get a feel for the electric.  So far I've received two suggestions, a vox ad30vt and roland microcube.  Any thoughts on these two or other suggestions.  Right now I think I'm looking to spend 150 or so but have a little flexibility to go higher than that if something seems to good to pass up. 

Fender Blues Jr.

If you can find one, Peavey Classic 20.

Fender Vibro Champ.

Fender Champ 12.

I bought a little crate used on craigslist about 15 months ago for $30.  It was almost brand new bought by someone for his son who never played.  Seems just fine to me as a knockaround the house.  I am sure it would be loud enough to annoy the neighbors.  It works well and was less expensive than a g7th capo.  it was a nice way to get started for me.
