100 W amp

What kind of sound do you want? For good classic rock, look at the Marshall MG line or the AVT line. MG is lower priced  than the AVT line but doesn't have as good of tone.

My Question would be what do you want to spend?

You could use two crate 15w amps and a stereo pre-amp and kick some serious sound,
or maybe something like a  Fender Cyber Twin.

It would also depend on what sound your looking to create.

hEy FarrokStar..can you tell me more about this 2 amps and a Preamp thing??  And  how much would it cost??

These CRATE GX15,I will say is one the best compact, solid-state, rehearsal amp available. Feature's a 8" speaker and 15 watts RMS, includes two channels for clean and distortion tones, external speaker jack, and headphone jack. price I recall around 60 to 80 dollars each new. teamed it with a Zoom 505 pedal. around 70 dollars,wallwart/adaptor 20 dollars. They rock & Roll.

This is the set I use now and then, because all I have to carry is a Guitar in a gigbag over my shoulder,one amp in left hand and one amp and my briefcase(which contains cords,tunner,pre-amp,a mic & cord,tools, etc)in my right. I run the output of the 505 stereo into each amp, I have the amps set for clean sound,(because I get all the overdrive and/or distortion from the pre-amp). Then I mic one of them into the mixer. These little amps will push a 4x12 box without any problems.

I will say that 90% of the time I use other more expensive Tube equipment for doing larger venues. I do take a setup like this when I get asked to jam or play some party or small Honky tonk. Everything is light,easy to carry in and easy to pack-up at the end of the night. Over the years I've learned to analize the playing situation is see what would be the best to use. One reason: sometimes things can get out of control an equipment gets the bunt of it.

Hope this helps

i dont want to spent to much but i want quality. i play rock & metal but i also want a good clean sound i have a boss me 50 so i will use that for most of my tone.

The boss me 50 will work in place of the pre-amp I suggested and then some. I would run it stereo if possible, and think about using two amps. That will give you enough sound. Then if need be you could always mic one or both of the amps, or even run one amp and run the otherside into the mixer.

I'm use to playing stereo. The effects take on a whole different meaning when run stereo.

Try buying the Rogue GS100R. I have one. It is perfect for beginning, great power, sound, quality; at a great price. I payed $179 BRAND FING NEW!!

It has 2x12" speakers. Twin channels. Reverb. Presence. Eq. Knobs. Footswitch jack. Headphone Jack. Effects Loop. Two Instrument Jacks (high and low). And some more stuff, that I can't really think of off of the top of my head.

It has Fing muscle! It is inexpensive too! It pumps out lush sound, and if you feel like it, it will crush your skull with power. Especially for only $179. But you can only get it for that cheap at http://www.musiciansfriend.com   I looked at the guitar shop I go to, and he offered me the exact same one that I bought, for $400.

A few features:
100 watts of high quality sound, and concrete crushing power
two 12 inch speakers that provide great sound
2 channels clean and overdrive
EQ knobs (high, medium, and low)
Reverb and Presence knobs
Channel switch button/jack
Effects loop
2 instrument jacks(high/low)
Sturdy construction
Great quality
and best of all THE PRICE!! Especailly for the quality.

This is truly the best 'cheap'(in price only) amp I have ever played. It is in fact the best buy you could make on a 100w combo amp. Especially if you aren't into spending a fortune. It may be inexpensive, but don't let the price tag fool you, you are getting something worth triple the price that you will pay. I am serious, buy this amp.
