but careful, if you simply put to any speaker, you might risk damaging it.

need to use a speaker specially designed for amplifiers.

Zoom G1 won't damage speakers lah, even an earphone can handle it. It's an amp modeler/effects unit, not a real amp, it's not even an amp, more like a mini pre-amp.

The impedance is low already.

More like you need an amp to boost the zoom's output.

check out samick avion.. heard its getting good reviews from forumers here.
Thats a LP copy.. wouldnt cost much.. last i heard was somewhere from rm 700 - 800

Then get a good practice amp.. probably vox ad15 - ad30 range with the remaining money..

Or... if you do not need much effect, get the vox pathfinder 15R which will cost around rm400 and get pedals or effect to supplement it when u really need them.

So this vox pathfinder 15R will produce the tone of the solo right ? I like the solo very much rclxms.gif blush.gif thank you for giving me the advice.

basically, u can test out the samick avion av3 in doremi, another user in another thread asking the same question got it for close to rm800. That guitar has no tremolo, which isnt really important yet, since you need to nail down your basic first, and would be better for a beginner not to have them, as it ll give u more headache than helping you. If you develop an interest for tremolo later on, u can always buy a new guitar biggrin.gif

I have a strat but i dun use tremolo at all.. so its up to individual

Then for amp generally the consensus here would recomend:
Vox Ad 15/30 which ever u can afford
Micro cube

I would say, you can have another option of Vox pathfinder, which is a very cheap and good clean amp. Got that classic rock sound of beatles but you wont have that Gun and roses tone, unless u supplement it with another overdrive effect..

For me I'd start with a Epiphone sg standard and a roland microcube.I can't picture having fun with any ohter amp other than the cube.Although i agree that vox produces some great distortion.
