If you can get your head around the difference between what you need, and what you want, you can save yourself some coin, and please both yourself and your audience.

Get an early-to-mid-70's Ampeg VT-22 2x12 combo, or a V-4 head and some good speakers. Drive the input with a good distortion pedal for endless sustain. Back off the guitar volume a bit to clean it up.

You heard it here first. :D
