That Line 6 amp has the best tone of the little practice amps, IMHO.

It has nothing to do with the amp modeling, and I'm not normally a Line 6 fan. But that little amp has a great sound.

Okay, Douglas, so you're looking for an electric guitar amp, not an acoustic guitar amp. However, since you said in your original post that you "want something that will play acoustic fairly well", I would caution you not to expect to get anything approaching decent acoustic guitar tone from any of these amps, until proven otherwise. Maybe one of these can do that with modeling, I don't know.

I have the older version of the VT15 - the new one has 22 models, mine has only 11. still a pretty cool amp though. Not really good at acoustic (its OK, feedback prone), but its good for checking PUs in the shop.

It looks like the Micro-Cube will be on the list. After the recommendations here, I looked it up and it has a TON of favourable reviews. And the fact that even Howard clearly pointed me in that direction...what else do I need to say about that?

Todd, even though I confess to having included acoustic playing as part of the job for my new amp, mostly I wanted something that didn't suck at it. When I play acoustic I usually let the guitar speak for itself, and I don't gig-just play at home.

I'll be out next weekend shopping. My wife will be along, I hope that this turns out to be a good time for both of us.
