Ha ha, while I get that it’s a buy once and buy right sort of thing, the budget is a strict 500 atm with baby number 1 due any day now, and the snob in me wants an affinity squire (probably a tele now given the fair point about tremolos on cheaper guitars) at a minimum.
The budget also has to include an immediate string upgrade, lead, picks, stand, etc, as I’m literally starting from scratch.
The current amp choice is somewhere between Marshall origin 5, Marshall dsl1, or that Harley Benton tube5 or tube15.
If I keep at it into next year a vox ac15 is the goal.

I’ve had an AC15 for the last few years - if you’re planning to use it mainly at home, you’d probably need an attenuator to get a decent sound at low volumes. The AC10 probably better in that respect.
upgrade the amp next year if I keep at it? Or is that false economy?
A nice amp sound is one of the things that keeps me engaged and wanting to play more. Cheap solid-state amps can be a buzz-kill, and reduce the chance that you’ll keep at it.

I would look at Facebook marketplace for a guitar ‘pack’ in that case, then upgrade as required.
I also have an AC15 and it is large, heavy and loud! Sounds amazing though.

Get the Vox and the Bullet, you'll only be €40 over your budget! That amp is a superb deal, seriously...
