I found a very good review of amps below $200 that I want to share here. Now I have on my list the Peavey Vypyr VIP 2. My 3 main options are the Fender, Marchall and Peavey.

The Fender and Peavey offer the best overall stuff....but the Marshall tone....well is the Marshall tone but lack of features that the Fender and Peavey offer.

I have a good homework to do on the guitar shops locally :)
