Re: first amp for son
Those digital fender mustang amps are actually pretty decent sounding for a beginner guitar amp. Tons of amp models and effects built in.

That's a good call, very underrated. I really think they will only start going up in price in the next few years.

I remember the days I had one of those old gorilla amps and I would crank every knob and play Nirvana, Sonic Youth and Ramones all day. The neighbors loved me. Ahh the memories.
If you want to spend a little what about a silver face fender champ sometimes they can be found cheaper then on reverb. Simple and sound good. I finally scored a Silverface Vibro champ. Good luck with your search

He'll probably end up stealing my Vibro Champ and I'll end up with with the Gorilla amp...

My Gorilla amp that I got when I was 17 is going nowhere!
i.e. staying in some dark corner of my basement covered in dust

Old Gorilla amp could well be on the cards

I think the black star HT-1R combo is a rather cool little amp.
I had one I used to play through a 2x-12 with Celestion G-12H speakers. Sounded great.

Have you considered looking for a Vox Pathfinder 15R? I'd be tempted to keep an eye out for one for sale locally. They can sometimes be found for pretty cheap, and they sound really good...
