I'm looking to buy a new amp. I'd like you guys' opinions on what you think is the best amp to buy under $200. I live in an apartment where the tenants are really anal, so I don't want anything that's gonna leave holes in the wall when I play through it. Something small, cheap in price, but good in quality. Right now I'm playing thru a 25 watt Fender amp and it sounds like crap. Any input would be appreciated.

Well, why don't ya get an all tube, low wattage combo? 200 bucks won't get you a very nice amp!

I would suggest the peavey's rage 158 or the blazer 158(i think thats what it's called) one has reverb one dosen't i forgot which one's which. It's a practice 15 watt tube amp, it sounds pretty good to me, it's worth taking a look at. It cost around a hundred dollars.

The Blazer has reverb... plus, although they're 15 watts, they sound more like 50!!!

No they don't. Plug into a 45 watt 1x12 Boogie combo... not even CLOSE to volume by comparison!
