Combo amp for beginner

[Unacceptablenorm]

Peavey Vypyr 15. Dirt cheap used and has incredible gain. Hell of a little amp.
Got one for $50 off Craigslist and it's a blast.

Went with the Orange Crush 20RT based on that vs Katana videos.

Plus I plugged him into my rig with a Boss Space Echo set for a barely audible slap back and a touch of verb………he wanted it turned off. Good for him! I think the Orange is basic enough to keep him concentrated on technique for awhile.

Orange amps is a GREAT choice ! (Ty Tabor from Kings X has been known to use Orange amps from time to time)
