Try this it reviews all the amps on the market

I like my Fender Roc Pro though It's good for most things except thrash heavy metal And It's pretty fookin loud too!

depends what he wants to play....

if its loud rock stuff, then a marshall or peavy.
if its jazz, then a roland.
if its blues, get a fender tweed.

go to a guitar shop, they are usually quite indimidating places but if you've got a wad of cash in your hand, they turn quite helpful.
(i think they just get pi55ed off with timewasters)

musical instruments are quite personal things, so maybe get him to try and pick one.

good luck.

PS I have a laney valve amp, which is a good all-rounder and british made of course!

Thumbs up

Try the Line 6 range (www.Line6.com)) - their amps will emulate most of the famous ones that have ever graced your CD player!
