Guitar Nerds Anonymous

I want an amp, bedroom practice size but with enough poke for small gig backline at a push. Something with a great clean sound which can also make ears bleed when I want to go metal.
A knowledgable friend has suggested Fender juniors, I guess I'm limited to second hand as they seem pricey (for my budget, not overall).
Any recs from you geeks?

You could do a lot worse than the Blackstar HT-5C http://www.blackstaramps.co.uk/products/ht-5c/ assuming you want a combo. It's "only" 5 watts, but in the same way that an AC30 is "only" 30 watts.

Gigsounds in Mitcham Lane are a main dealer.
