Here is my favorite practice amp!  I learn all my songs for gigs on this amp before I take it to the big amp.  It has great tone for rock, or clean and I love it!  You don’t need much more for in home practice:

Marshall MG4 Series MG10 10W 1×6.5 Guitar Combo Amp (Black) BlackThe Marshall MG10 is a 10W combo amp that delivers 2 distinctive Marshall tone sets. With this MG4 Series amp’s honest, clean sparkle and aggressive overdrive, the 10W of power is amazingly punchy thanks to the MG10 combo’s closed-back cabinet design and carefully chosen speaker. To further allow you to tune in your desired sound, the Marshall MG10 guitar amp also features a contour control. Use it to adjust the EQ in one single and simple control knob turn. This 10W Marshall amplifier also features individual headphone output and line input sockets. Use the Line In to plug in your MP3 or CD player and play along with your favorite tunes. The headphone socket takes any standard 3.5mm headphone set for practicing in private.

I like this Ibanez if you’re going to buy the little Marshall amp! This one is a good starter Rocker guitar!

Marshall JVM Series JVM205H 50W Tube Guitar Amp Head BlackIn a nutshell, the Marshall all-valve, 2-channel JVM205H 50W tube head is a 2-channel, 50W version of the most versatile Marshall amplifier ever made, the JVM410H. Both channels are completely independent of each other and they boast 3 Modes, all 6 of which are footswitchable and feature their own unique gain structure. It effectively makes the JVM205H 6 Marshalls in one!The JVM205H has studio-quality digital reverb with a level control for each channel. This is also footswitchable, as are the amp’s two Master Volume controls and the Series/Parallel effects loop. Resonance and Presence are also equipped with master controls.With its ingenious footswitch (UK patent pending) and the fact all the amp’s switching (channel/modes, Reverb, Master Volume selection, FX loop) can be done via MIDI, you’re looking at an incredibly flexible amp!
