Hi
A micro cube is good value especially second hand and sound great..mine was £34
of ebay
A Boss blues driver is good too as a pedal..but most overdrivers work ..
A Line pod 6 is digital, so will give you every amp sound possible,
Also see the new Yamaha Tr5 amp which is modelled to simulate valve amps.. and is pretty awsome I hear...
Or find your sound and work backwards?
Hope this helps....(I fancy trying a yamaha tr5 ...as they sound great quiet as well as loud..)
I think the mustang is a great choice to start with. Like Paul said, the possibilities are great and they have quality speakers. Step up to a good tube amp when possible. I'm still using a Peavy Envoy and looking to get a good deal on a Fender Blues Jr when I find one.
I have owned the Frontman 25R, and its a pretty good clean amp. And I would recommend a pedal to get the best sound for the best money. I have been blown away by the bang/buck of the Behringer pedals that are available for about $25 and I get them in 3 days when I order through Walmart.com. The Blues Overdrive is good and is bright, the Vintage Tube Overdrive TO800 is supposed to be a Tube screamer clone but sounds better than any I have heard. Like the Blues Overdrive but warmer and fuller (this is one of my 2 favorites). It's all subjective, but I think you would have to spend a lot more money get a single amp that would beat this combination.
Microcube demo good value second hand and runs on batteries for busking

I have made several amps in Cigar Boxes and they are a lot of fun. I also have the Mustang I Amp. With all the "modeling" options it is a great $100 investment. i would say buy the Mustang to get you playing & build a Ciggy box amp later.
