Amp for my Son

Modelling shmodelling Line 6 amps which will let him recreate a slightly st approximation of classic tones. Oh course your point is completely fair, I grew up before such magic.
My first amp was a Line 6 Spider II 75 and I have to say I did enjoy it. Made a Squier strat sound great, and made some good tones at bedroom volumes. Easily giggable too. When I first got it it was nice to be able to get a vast variety of sounds and effects so figure out what sort of music I wanted to play and what sound I wanted, but it was a bit compromised in the fact that more expensive guitars didn't come in to their own like the do on a valve amp and at higher volumes it started to sound a bit tinny.
If I was to go back and start again I would go for the best Blackstar HT I could afford - my HT Stage 60 is an awesome bit of kit and still gives a good range of sounds. Go for a valve amp, you won't regret it

I'd disagree with that and suggest a modeller too.
Simple amps will sound st to teenagers who will be busy, excitedly hoovering up as many soundalike tones as they can to recreate their heroes. Look at Line 6 amps-theyll let him dial up any combination of amp and cab he can think of, recreate some classic tones and give him a good idea as to why he should ultimately get an AC15 and bugger all else...
