It also has a second half so to speak, so you can also plug in a mic or another guitar, or bass or whatever. So if you have a friend come by with a guitar, you can both plug in and jam. Heck you can even record the two of you jamming. If the friend plays a lick you want to learn, just go in and slow down the music. Play along to figure it out. It goes to just 25% of normal speed.

I've looked at the Line 6 Spider Jam amp, but sadly it's just a bit too expensive for what I can afford, when shipping costs are included in the price. I'll try to see if I can find one that's within my budget, though. Are there any other, newer SS amps that are great for beginners, that are still of proper quality at a low price? Preferably suited for using pedals, since I have a couple of those I use to add effects to my sound.
