Buy yourself a nice brand-new Roland Microcube.
All you could ever want in a practice amp and a very impressive sound for 
such a small amp.
See:

I don't have one myself but a friend has one and I'm impressed!

Hope that helps

I have a microcube and it is brilliant. Having said that I found out 
recently that suprisingly it isn't as loud as a fender twin :-)

If you're near to Derbyshire I've got a 'like new' (4 months old, little 
used) Cube 20x for £75...

Cheers, Mick.

I have gigged with one.

It's loud enough to be heard over  a noisy pub crowd.

Well, I did a practice with one, with a singer, another guitarist, a drummer 
and bass player. They weren't exceptionly loud but although the microcube 
could be heard, everything had to be flat out and it had lost all 
definition. In the end I used a fender twin, set at a main volume of 3, 
which was somewhere between too quiet and deafening, seeing as the volume 
seemed to change with its mood!
I thought the roland did pretty well but I am impressed you could hear it in 
a pub, especialy a noisy one.
The fender twin on the other hand...

Bodhran.

Plus two acoustic guitars and a singer with a tambourine...

The singer used a teeny weenie PA,  one of those two hundred watt things 
with a sub and two satellites that Studiospares were flogging for a couple 
of hundred quid a few years ago, driven by a cheap little Alesis two channel 
mixer with a shed load of effects that I currently have connected to my 
computer...

With an electric bass we might even have stayed together and tried to make 
some money...
