The Fender Hot Rod Pro Junior III is far more expensive than most conventional beginner amps. However, it is also much cheaper than most professional level amps, but it is a good enough amp to be used in more professional applications.
The Spider IV comes with several rather novel features built into it that are very useful for beginners. The most notable ones are the built in guitar tuner and the headphone jack.
Rocktron does produce louder, more powerful amps in the Velocity series, but they are priced a little too high for a beginner amp. One of the reasons the Velocity V10 does well as a beginner amp is the low price.
Perfect gift for guitarists and music enthusiasts
