My brother Mike first started learning to play the other week and so for his birthday I got him a cheap practice amp.
For $41 shipped I got him a Marshall MG15CDR. It's got a really weak spring reverb but it's on there. I tested it briefly today and the distortion isn't very smooth and it's kinda gutless but I guess it is what it is, and it definitely sounds better and looks cooler than the Crate GX20m amp I started with years ago.
It's cool, it's quiet, there's no distracting amp voices or FX or switches, it's light and portable, it was cheap, and it even sounds OK. Perfect beginner practice amp. If he can make that amp sound good then he'll appreciate good amps all that much more later.
Plus this amp was featured in the anime "K-On!" as the main character's amp.
Anyways my brother likes the amp a lot. I hope it'll inspire him to learn and play well.
