I recently picked up an electric guitar, and am using a Fender Mustang I amp a friend loaned my son. It is not a bad amp, per se. But it has built in effects that cannot be turned off, it is nice having the effects because I do not have any pedals yet. But I would like to be able to play clean sometimes.

I am looking for something about the same size. Maybe a bit bigger. It is a 1-8โ€ 20 watt amp. Maybe something around the 50 watt area. If it has built in effects I am only interested if they can be turned off.

Bonus if anyone knows if it is possible to turn off the effects on this one.

Are we supposed to include a guitar tax here?

Watts doesn't mean louder. Unless you are trying to drown out people talking at a venue then 20 watts is all you need.

Even pros are using lower watts now that everything is miced going front of house anyways.
