So I don't have to have buy a bunch of effect pedals, etc.
Looking to spend around 200-250$ max preferably.
Just get a used Fender Mustang III.
You can get them for $200 or usually less.
The amp can provide you with the effects and everything you could possibly need.
If you can find one with both the 4-button and 2-button switches included that's even better.
Clean tones are probably the best made for cheap modeling amp.
I've gotten decent distorted sounds by adjusting or making my own.
The factory loaded patches for electric are mostly crap.
The main thing is finding the noise gate in the amp and turning it on for any gain or high gain sounds.
Otherwise it's very noisy.
Putting in the time to figure the amp settings out makes owning this amp worth well more than you'll pay for it.
I wouldn't be surprised if you could find one for $150 locally.
I picked up one for $180 that was like brand new.
The program FUSE that allows you to make adjustments to the amp has been discontinued but you can still get an aftermarket app for your phone called Remuda that allows you to adjust and store patches.
The best thing about the Mustang is you can make any adjustments on the small LCD screen built into the amp.
It even has a built in tuner.
