Just looking for a decent amp, probably no more than $50, the quality doesn't concern me at all really. I just need something that'll let me hear what I play on the guitar I'm buying.

Any suggestions? I'm pretty much buying whatever is best recommended anyway.

Dunno the price, but Roland Cube 15x is a decent amp.

You can get some solid state small time Fender amps for a bit over $50.

The Orange Micro Crush is like $60ish.
Orange makes amazing sounding valve amps; can't say I've ever heard a solid state one.

These are the cheapest Amps I could find:

The quality is probably god awful, and they probably won't last long.

Ah, I already have a guitar picked out though, lol! I just need a good sounding amp for $50 worth, maybe a little life in it to for the money. Just trying to get the best for the cost. Much appreciated though!

I didn't mention guitars O.o
Also, I accidentally put the wrong link in my original post. The first link was supposed to be http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/navigation/fender-guitars-music-gear-apparel-solid-state-guitar-combo-amps?N=100001+338502+200984+7

Oh and

Cheapest tube amp I could find. Tubes are usually considered the best sound quality.

My first amp was a Roland Cube 30, it's a badass amp.
Not a fan of the on board distortion but
is a great amp anyways.

I would go for a Marshall combo amp. I've happily used mine for about 6 years and will carry on until I get a head for my cab :)

Guitar Research makes a really small tube amp that is very cheap used (below 50), it sounds pretty good considering the price.
