So i bought an amp, from mccanns yesterday. i managed to blow something like $400 yesterday, but i can survive on what i've got left. bought a fender frontman 15r ('r' for reverb), tony was so good he threw in a $30 lead for free, and i bought a behringer distortion/overdrive pedal as well. just got wait until next week now so i can start upgrading my older guitar, into something playable.
