I love my little roland cube amp for all of the above. Great tone - not bad tone even using a piezo pickup without a preamp.You could buy one for instruments and another for vocals. Or, Roland makes a busker amp - I think its called a roland cube street.

As for learning to play, well I'm still trying and learning. Let your ears and soul be your guide.

Hope this gives you some direction,

Wade

I use a Marshall ASD50D for studio and playing live - it has two channels for guitar and/or vocals, and feedback control knob/switches for use with piezos...it is about the size of a small suitacase and easy to carry around, and sounds brilliant! (-:

I have a cigar box amp I bought here from Gitty and it is fine.

I have a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe for my Start and it is fine.

I recently bought a Line 6 Spider IV 75, and it is way cool.

Roland Stereo Mobile Cube. Can play guitar, mic and keyboards through it all at once. Batteries or wall wart. Built in effects. $180 street, available at GC. I love mine; it is my go-to practice amp.

My favorite amp is the Vox Pathfinder, but if you want to run vocals and guitar in one, you're going to want an amp with two preamp channels or just two cheap amps.

I think Feist uses a Pathfinder for her vocals.

Also, if you do go that route, I suggest removing the clipping LEDs in the amp to clean it up a bit for your vocals.

I use a Fender Acoustisonic 150. It has two channels - one totally clean hi-fi for your acoustic, the other with the options of clean, "blackface", "tweed" or "British". The three emulation channels get progressively more overdriven. Both channels have digital effects (chorus, rotary, reverb, echo, etc) which are quite usable, if not infinitely adjustable.

It's got plenty of loud in it, too. Run vocals through the acoustic channel, CBG through the amp emulation channel, and you'll have all you need.
