Ive been playing my Acoustic lately but I got the cheap Epiphone SG Special bundle, It comes with an amp with very few options and I cant do much in the overdrive setting all it truely does is make the amp grumbly and adds a litle bit of edge to the sound, Ive seen amps at guitar center with many overdrive options on them can anyone recommend a affordable amp thats good quality?

I bought myself a Vox VT30 in combination with my Fender Stratocaster - costed about

I would have thought that a solid-bodied Electric Guitar with multiple pick-ups (Fender Strat') would be more suitable for producing volume, overdrive, distortion, etc, together with a Valve Amp (Marshal, etc).

An Acoustic Guitar (steel strings?) normally only has one cheap Pick-up near the sound hole, mainly intended to just increase the Volume to the Audience, via any old Amp....!

Paul...Electric Strat', etc, and various Acoustic Guitars (nylon and steel strings)... 8-)...!

I design and build my own Valve Amps... ..!

I set of peddals would help to. Or a all in one peddal would be good too.

Agreed, look into a Zoom 505 on ebay, should be able to get one for around $20.

That combined with your guitar & amp, and you can make just about any sound you coud desire.

If you would rather just have an all in one type package, look into amps from Line-6, they feature a ton of sound fx built in, and software that models all of the great amps of the past, giving you virtually a ton of amps to play through all in one amp.

You should get an Ulbrick amp, might set you back a couple of grand but worth it, I don't have one, But my best friends dad makes them

You might not have heard of him, David Ulbrick, used to be a famous Aussie Guitar player  ;)

They make one of loudest amps in the world  ;D

I've always found Fender amps to be reliable.

Im kind found of the marshall half stack with the 50W head I also have a small 15W marshall practice amp which works pretty well..

I use the Zoom 505 pedal for the effects...
