What guitar amp?
Mid-life crisis here...
Will be picking up an electric guitar, after a ten year break, on saturday and am umming and arring over amps. Narrowed it down to; Peavey Vyper 15 Line 6 Spider iv Fender mustang 1 It will be for heavy rock although if the crisis continues I may revisit my youth and be inspired by death metal and its associated dirtyguitar tones. Always ran marshall in the past but will limit myself to £100 for the amp as it will be used in the conservatory. drawn to the Fender purely for the USB port and the fact that it comes with software to record and fiddle about with  Views from the ooplers?

I would say a Vox Pathfinder, small amp, really cheap but works great and works nicely with stompboxes.
I would buy a Celestion greenback 10", enlarge the hole designed for a 8" speaker and install the 10". Awesome amp for the value. I guess around £160.

the Line 6 is very good, but if you just want a practice amp, you can't knock the Kustom range.

My practise amp is the Peavey vypyr 15. As a practise amp its very good.
No need to plug my boss gt5 effects board in the built in amp has loads of things to play with. I plug my ipod into it for rhythm and bass backings works really well. No experience of the other amps but both my epi les sounds good and change a few things and my ibanez sounds good too through the vypyr

Defo the line 6 as it digitally models the sound rather that the typical "sweet spot" (which is usually at the annoying neighbours territory)
The line 6 will sound nice through headphones which will most likely help if your coming back after a long break as your not upsetting people while you try to remember that minor pentatonic riff at 180 bpm

Bought the Peavey and the ESP LTD M100 FM in see thru' black.
Absolutely brilliant. Already relearnt Enter sandman, Seasons in the Abyss.....bar the solos. Soooo much sustain, superfast neck and the best bit of all the old floyd rose. Could not believe the crazy sounds out of a £100 quid amp, although much has been through the headphones. Who needed to run 2 and 4wd anyway
