something around the £80-90 mark.

thought about the Orange Crush PiX 20L.

anything else to look at?

I have a Peavey Backstage 10, which works pretty well.

I've got a Vox VT20+ and it's a cracking little amp. Sounds good, has lots of different amp models ( so your lad can experiment and figure out what he likes) and has some reasonable in-built effects. Best thing is that you can properly turn it up to get some good overdrive but the attenuator "power-level" thing means it can still be at a perfectly neighbour friendly volume.

It depends on whether your son wants on-board effects or separate effects pedals.

If the former, Fender do the Mustang 1, which I tried out in a shop, and sounded pretty good. However, I wanted to use external effects, so went with the simpler Peavey amp.

Roland Microcube. Small, loud, fantastic amp model tones from clean to mosh, chorus, tremolo, reverb, cd/mp3 input for jamming and it runs on batteries if your son decides to be a busker rather than a lawyer 🙂

has separate effects pedals, just another amp. He has an old amp that is past its best sound wise.

will look at those mentioned thanks.

I thought this looked quite good from a quick browse on the Andertons site:

Otherwise I also quite like the little Vox amps.
