I would recommend a Roland Micro Cube. It is not the loudest but makes up for it in the quality of sound and the features it has. It runs about $120. I have 1 and love it. It has built in effects and COSM. (Acoustic, JC Clean, Black Panel, Brit Combo, Classic Stack, R-Fier, Chorus, Flanger, Tremolo, Phaser, Delay, Reverb, Built in tuning fork, Mic in, line out, and to top it all off it can even run on batteries if u want. The best thing about it is u can get so many different sounds out of it without having to spend $50 a piece for all of those pedals. Perfect for the beginner
