When considering tone, you need to be as concerned (if not more so) with the amplifier you're gonna buy. My advice is to get an all-tube amp. Peavey has a good tube/combo amp at a cheap price: Valve King 112 (1x12 combo) 50 watts for about $429 [the sustain on this little amp is amazing]. If your ear cannot yet differentiate between the sound of a solid state amp vs. a tube amp, and you want a bunch of different effects, a solid state amp to consider is the Line6 Spider III 120 Modeling Combo Amplifier for about $400.
