There should be no problem with Guitar Center letting you bring your guitar in. You'll hear the one you like with a bit of fooling around. Vox, Fender, Mesa, Marshall, Orange - whole bunch of good ones out there.
If you go in on a weekday morning you won't be fighting a whole bunch of other people doing the exact same thing.
FWIW my next purchase will be a 2x12 50W Marshall combo one of my buddies has had for decades. If you like the Marshall sound you'll be pretty disappointed with their solid state offerings, I got suckered into two of them and they both got sold off pretty quickly.
Get a decent cord and a wide strap and off you go.
