the roland cube gets my vote closely followed by the vox ad15vt . they both produce great tone to be smaller less expensive amps , the vox has a pre-amp tube which can be overdrivin like a full tube amp and you end up getting the same effects which is cool . the roland is solid and loud great amp modelers and effects .

both are soild choices IMO

I haven't checked out all of those, but for a cheap bedroom amp I would recommend checking out the Fender G-DEC or a cheap Line6 if you want versatility and features. Some of those you list will give you a certain tone, but little versatility or features. You won't find much good tone in that price range though.

IMHO if you already have your own seperate effects then you are wasting your money buying an amp that has umpteen effects built in..like the MArshall MG15DFX....your better off just getting the bog standard one (MG15CD) and using the extra £30 or £40 on a decent effect pedal.

i reckon for a 15watt practise amp your better off buying brand new, cause the speaker hasn't been driven to sh#t by someone trying to use the amp in louder applications than it can handle.

( even with larger amps i don't like secondhand. you don't know whats been done to them, AND i have had terrible expirences with 2 second hand JCM900's)
