ok awesome guys. I live in Aus, which is good an bad for amps, Marshall, Fender, Line 6 and basically any reputable American brand name costs HUGE ammounts of money but there's a local brand called Ashton that does pretty affordable amps (doesn't have much street cred though but who cares) including a really affordable tube combo, and tube half stack. Might just got the Tube combo with the pedal for now, not to keen on lugging around a half stack and don't think i'll be using the power for a while anyways.

Thanks for the input, now at least i know what i'm saving money for ( it'll be a couple months till i can buy anything :P ).
