Hello

I'm taking up guitar after some years away. I used to play an acoustic
but this time I've decided to get myself an electric guitar and an amp,
but I'm not sure about the amp. There are a lot to choose from.

I don't need anything too loud or fancy but a quality sound is
essential. I remember reading an amp review in a guitar mag years ago
that said something like "A practice amp has no business sounding this
good!" - it was less than £400 IIRC - but I can't remember what the amp
was. So can anyone recommend a practice amp like that - with quality
sound and which hopefully costs less than £400-£500 in the UK.

Thanks

Since you're in the UK you might should have a look here:
