Musician's Friend has 15% off right now, bringing the V22 price down to $399.50.

I love my orange Micro Terror. The TONE is killer, honestly. I wish it had 2 channels and reverb though.

The best sounding amps are usually very simple. A dirty channel, a clean channel and good reverb will take you a LONG way in your journey. Good luck.
Man did you hit the nail on the head, When I'm playing my electric, I spend more looking for the right sound than I do playing, and my amps are really simple...
