what kind of music do you play, and what kind of guitar are you using?

[dildo69er]

im using an Epiphone Les paul custom with seymour duncan  hot rodded pickups installed so it sounds pretty decent

and i play mostly

blink, ava,+44 obviously then theirs stuff like offspring, incubus, rise against

basically pop punk and sometimes heavier rock and then sometimes slower melodic stuff

so ill probably be after something with some versatility

thanks

I'll do a proper search later, but at that price range look into Traynor, Laney and Peavey.

For 800-1200 I'd say, get a tube combo.

2*12 will be loud enough for playing live and still good to practice (at home).

http://www.guitarcenter.com/Peavey-6505-212-Combo-2x12-Guitar-Amp-481433-i1145625.gc (very good metal amp)

Or a second hand JCM800/900 combo.

OR this: http://www.guitarcenter.com/Marshall-1936-2x12-Cabinet-100197796-i1145894.gc with a nice head.

Or you could also get a half stack, like: http://www.guitarcenter.com/Peavey-ValveKing-Half-Stack-485058-i1174721.gc

Are those American dollars or Australian?

If American i suggest a used Orange Rocker 30.

If not then a used Marshall JCM800.

Look into Traynor's. Everyone loves them.

Yes

Orange is goooood too.

You could also buy the Tiny Terror, but that might not be loud enough for gigs.

Depends on if your mic-ing the amp or not.

30 tube watts is very loud, it will be great for gigs.
