now for the amp - it seems as tho you are lookin to save a few bucks on this right? Might I suggest the Roland Micro Cube? Awesome little piece of equipment... 2 watts, headphone jacks, recording jacks. effects and a fwe amp models to play with. Runs about $130 usd... a good friend bought one of these and we used it to play out with the other night.. right into the mixing board... by itself, this little thing will blow your head off!!!
