I'm pretty new to guitar and I'm looking to get a new amp. The one I've got at the moment is a cheap little Laney Hardcore Max 10, and I'm really looking for something with nicer sound, better volume, more effects and tones etc. I'm looking at the Vox VT-30 at the moment, which I can get for AUD$299. Anyone have any experience with this model? Or vox amps in general? I really, really like the looks of this from the youtube reviews I've seen (I'll listen to it in person before I make a final decision) but are there any other good amps at a similar price point I should look at?

Here's a page which lists the specs of the VT30, written by a very excited man with a passion for the caps lock key:

For reference, I've got a cheap, plain Cort electric guitar and plan to play a range of different styles (primarily classic rock, though).

Also, for a near-beginner with a cheap, low quality amp and guitar, which is it better to upgrade first? My plan was to get this amp and stick with the cheap guitar, then at some point in the next couple of years get a really nice guitar like a stratocaster or something. Is this the right way to go about things?

:negative: They sold out of both the Vox VT30 and the VT50. The guy in the shop suggested an amp made by Nux, who I've never heard of. From researching a bit more online, I see there's a Behringer Virtube VT50FX for a similar price at a store near me. It seems similar in terms of features, is this a good option? I can't find anywhere near the number of reviews or demonstrations. Any thoughts or comments on Behringer as a brand? Or this particular model of amp?


Thanks for the replies to my first post, and yes I am in Melbourne, Australia.
