I use a Marshall guitar amplifier. It wasn't cheap but still cheaper
than an AER and it sounds pretty good. Me was told that amplifiers build
for acustic guitar are ok for hg and fiddle, but not the amplifiers for
e-guitar, especially not having tubes inside. A long time ago I bought a
very cheap e-guitar amplifier and it didn't work well.
I don't know the technical difference, but the e-guitar-amp has a clean
and a distortion channel., the acustic amp not.

Now a quick question. Esa M. recommended them but aren't they guitar amps?
It was also recommended not to use a guitar amp.
Is that saying that it is ok to start with but, being a guitar amp, is not
ideal?
I can see real benefits from an amp that can use 6 AA batteries as well as a
mains adaptor and, at the price, looks pretty good (and the weight too,
considering my bad back).

Hello,
I've got one of those microcubes, good to start, and try effects, and the
like. Very simple staff but good for a try (and cheap...)

Hello.
Unorthodox recommendations for beginners:
- Roland microcube -small, CHEAP, proper effects, basic amp modellings
- some used mixer-amp+ speakers -usually cheap, many channels,
usually proper eq, maybe effects too. But take some expert with you
to test the unit!
- active pa- or studio-nearfield monitor - one box is all you need,
no knobfields to hassle with... This is also expandable system and
has many uses.
I do not recommend guitar amps, they are designed for guitars =too
much middle-frequencies. Even (modern) bass-amps are better.
