Yeah, so, anyways, ummm...
Good advice to just get a cheap practice amp. Make sure that it has two channels (that means that you can switch from a clean to a distorted sound with a button or foot switch). A couple good amps I've seen are the Peavey Rage 15W and I had a Fender Frontman 15W.
You don't need to have great tone with your first amp; in fact, you probably won't be able to distinguish "good" from "bad" tone for a while (at least I couldn't), until you play long enough to develop your own tastes.
Are you buyingthis stuff online or from your local music store?
... and that's all I have to say about that.
