Im lookin for a new amp in the $100 range that has good distortion, and other effects like a delay and phaser. I need some ideas about what amp to use thats around 15-20 watts or more if possible. I have been considering the 15 watt line 6 spider III so far.. thats like 100 bucks i think. thanks

And for what you want i would say that probably is a good option. Will definatly be better than ur starter amp. go try one out and see if its what you want trying doesnt mean u have to buy in that shop tho
