The Frontman's pretty bad.
EEEK, I'm hesitant to mention this because it's 25 dollars over your max. So sorry. I like the microcube though. Its the cheapest amp I think is really great.
I don't really know any good amps for 100 dollars flat though. Maybe you should just get the frontman, just because your budget.
Microcube
Answer:
Yeah, I dont think there are any good amps for that much, save up, once you get like, $200 then we will talk,
Answer:
If 100 bucks is more than you want to spend, you are in trouble.
Seriously, save up and buy a Fender Blues Jr. used. They are very good. Only about 250 bucks used.

they look good for a beginner ~david~
Answer:
I don't think they are good, even for a beginner. Save yourself time and save some more money and go all tube.
Answer:
better yet, find one of the recommended all tube amps at your local pawn shop, where the owner does not know the difference. I have seen Marshall 100 watt all tube heads go for $70. take a list from the amp reccomendations thread to some pawn shops and see if you find one of them there for under a hundred.
Answer:
Holy crap, are you serious? 70 bucks? Someone isn't thinking straight today...

"I don't know man. It's a real piece of junk. Are you sure you want to sell that for 100 dollars? It looks like it's about 50..."

"Uh...I...I"

"If that..."

"Um...how about $30? Final offer."

"Alright!"
Answer:
That would be fun.
"C'mon, why are you selling that Gibson for 800 bucks? It doesn't have any strings!!"
"Um, how about 200 bucks?"
"That seems a little high. 150?"
"Sure!!"
I should check pawn shops when looking for a tube amp.
Answer:
Hm. I just have a quick question about amp heads. You can just plug your guitar into the amp head and play right? I mean it's not completely necessary to have a cab? So if the amp head is 100w, then you would be playing out a hundred watts just plugged into the head, am I correct?
Sorry for the dumb question, I've never played on a head/cab amp. The greatest amp I've ever played is a Peavey Classic. None of my friends and the church doesn't have a head/cab or anything so yea.

Lol. Man, I've NEVER seen a pawn shop in my life before. Never even been near one. I'm in New Jersey, where the heck can I find a pawn shop, anyone know? I know they have some in the city (NYC), which is like half an hour away, but I'm always too lazy to do anything in the city.
