My first post.  I've decided to take up guitar again after a 5 year hiatus, and boy am I hungry for it.  My first question has probably been asked all too often, but here goes.  I'm looking for a versatile SS amp that can give me a wide range of good sounds, from blues to rock and a little jazz.  It would be nice to have a few effects built into it too, such as chorus and reverb, etc.  This amp will probably not see the outsides of my house, so small is ok.  Could a few of you make several suggestions, for the market is so full of different models it makes me dizzy.  Price range between about $150 to $300.  thanks.
