ok, I decided to buy a new amp and I'd like some advice from you guys.
First thing you should know is that right now I've got this - http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/reviews/ ... o_takeover
so basically everything will be step forward. The most important thing? - money. I know it could be a problem but I don't want to pay more than 100-150USD for it.
I don't care about volume at all, I play just for fun at my home and what I need is just nice clean sound and disortion that sounds good. I play mostly pop punk.. From Sum 41, The Offspring, but also Foo Fighters and other similar bands. And I've got Deryck's Squier Tele, not planning to change it. So something with what it will sound good.
I found this http://www.bugera-amps.com/EN/products/BC15.aspx but I don't know how good quality it will be. I don't care about construction a lot either, it will just lay at my room and I won't be carrying it a lot.
Anyway I'm happy for any advice that you could give me

Re: What amp should I buy?
Bugera are pretty good cheap amps dude, probably one of the best brands you could go for since you're looking to get one so cheap. Brands like Marshall and Vox have great amps but you have to pay a lot for the good ones. Other than Bugera maybe check out some Peavey amps, or also cheap Roland Cube amps are pretty great.
Are you able to go and try out amps at a store or is there none where you live? The main thing is don't go for those really well known amps that pros use if your price range is low, cos their cheap range aren't great.

I've got one music store in our city, but there are really just a few amps from the most known brands.

They are both cheap amps, I would check out Marshall, Peavey or Line 6.

If money is important (and you live in Europe), get a Harley Benton HB-80R (thomann.de). They are good sounding, cheap amps (this one with Celestion loudspeaker!).
