as far as amps go... Epiphone Valve Junior - buy one, it'll be the best $300 amp you can ever find - instant valve heaven, bung a decent distortion in front and you have metal. It's loud enough for noise control :) and you'll have much respect...

if you want fizzy headphone modelling madness, treat yourself to a 2nd hand pod.

Pay attention to the tone recipe...

1 part guitar, 2 parts amp, 2 parts passion, 2 parts talent, 5 parts dedication. Mix it all up with some spices and voila.... but remember that tone starts in the soul.

Nope, the Vox DA5 kills the Roland, and if you want a good practice amp, this or the 15 watt or 30 watt Vox ADT series are great value, no good for gigging (well maybe ) but excellent for figuring out what sounds you are after, and in the meantime suffice for a few years of practicing.

Go with a goodish amp and semi decent guitar, will do for a couple of years.
