Jokes on you I don't have any money.

My neighbors are so awesome. They ask me to play when they're sad or happy or something. I love my neighborhood.

If you can afford it, and it sounds pleasing to your ear, it is your ideal amp.

After working as a sound tech for a while, I think direct/headphone out option is pretty important feature. Bass players have it right; sometimes the correct amount of stage volume is none at all.

Last time I was this early, John Mayer played Fender and Kirk only used x1 Wah-pedal...

I thought the advice was going to be "if it has PRS written on it, buy it" :P

#1 tip for beginners -- Don't start chasing expensive amps until you're past the beginner stage and have become a competent player. The best amp in the world isn't going to help you if you're still fumbling with chords and rhythm.

I was looking for versatility and ended up with the Fender Bassbreaker 15w. I love it. It's all I need at the house or at a mic'ed up gig. Hey Tyler, great playing man. I've been watching you since nearly the beginning of your channel and even though you've always been excellent, I can see that you are continuing to grow in your musicianship too.

You made me realise that I don't need a new amp, since the one I have is perfect for my needs. Makes me really glad that I begged for this one and that my dad agreed to get it for me back when I was a teenager...
I have a 1999 Fender Princeton 65, and while I do love it, I thought it was time for a more 'serious' amp - a head with a cabinet. But this single 12" combo amp sounds great, I love the clean sound and the drive (still looking for a distortion pedal that I like as much), it has an effects loop and it's a whopping 65 Watts. I don't think I ever turned the volume knob past 2 at home.
I also like the reverb, but I might eventually get a reverb pedal for more versatility... I think back in the day it cost around $700 (where I live prices were double what they cost in the US at the time. It's better now).

Thanks for reminding me why I got this amp in the first place (and it seems like teenage me knew what he was doing more than I remember)

I honestly have had my amp for years before I unlocked it's potential. I have a Peavy amp with multiple effects, and I love it. It's very versatile and that's what I was looking for.

I been having a sonzera 20 for about a year, it's the only amp that I like as much as my vox ac15. The sonzera 20 is a hell of a lot louder than the vox ac15.
Update: sold the sonzera and got a Mesa Boogie. The mesa is so much more versatile then the sonzera.

Head+ cab +attenuator , to be able to push the valves and amp to its best tones

"I'm not trying to sell you any one particular amp", while sitting next to a mountain of PRS ampy goodness... lololol

As a total beginner i started with Roland CUBE 15W XL (used). And guitar is Harley Benton Amarok allso slightly used. I think those will serve me for a good time to come 😊

Just bought a fender twin finally found one here in Hawaii after searching forever. It’s pretty much perfect for what I like.

I freaking love the production of your videos. Your playing and camera shots/angles of that natural Fender Strat you have (in some other videos) single-handedly changed my mind about Strats and now I want one lol

I just bought the VOX classic rock headphone amp and it's one of the best guitar gadgets ive bought. Now I'm running and jumping around at home playing guitar
