G'day all, my Son has undertaken Smoke on the Water so I thought Santa
might give him a bedroom sized practice amp for Xmas. Not looking to
spend a fortune I stumbled on a 10w Vox practice amp. Any good? It was
about the same price as the Squier SP10 which would probably do him
fine. Any other suggestions? taking into account I'm in Aussie and
things aren't as cheap as the US.
Cheers

I'd vote for a low wattage tube amp. A couple were already mentioned.
I think that there are obvious advantages over the modeling types. First, TONE. Second, less to become distracted with!
The first order is to learn to play. If he gets caught up in playing with effects and various wacky sounds, it will detract from learning.
Myself: I live in an area with MASSIVE Craigslist choices. I'd be looking for the best deal on a used amp, the first one to fit the bill. It might be a SS Vox Pathfinder 15R, or one of the 5W and under tube combos or head/cab offerings.
If you don't have a good selection on CL, hit the "usual suspects" for internet deals.
