Thanks for the advice. Chris, I mistyped. It was the fender mini tone master not the micro tone. My goal is to learn to play right now. So really all I need right now is something that lets me hear what I'm playing. As for style of music I like classic rock, country, and folk/folk rock. I'm not planning on doing any shredding, punk, or heavy metal. Not my thing really. I looked at the line 6 IV 15 amp as well. Really it comes down to what can convince my wife to let me spend haha.
