amp question

[travis16vp]

Hi, I'm planning on buying a squier tom delonge strat and I'm looking for a 10 or 15 watt practice amp to go with it. I'm gonna use it for playing along with the stereo and for recording. Is a 10 watt amp ok for that? I've been looking at fender, peavey, orange, behringer and marshall. I don't know which one would fit the guitar. I also have a Line 6 pod 2.0. I'm looking for that squishy palm mute kind of sound. Anyone have any ideas?? thanks..

Are you buying this from the 'net or something?

Normally, the advice would be to go and play through them to see which sounds best. If that's not an option, then I'm not sure anyone's going to be able to help you all that much.

10W is just fine for lots of things, including recording, it's what sort of 10Ws that is the issue.

If you're talking a solid state practice amp, I'd stick with the name brands like Fender and Marshall - that said, I've never played any of the brands you mention in an amp that size. Behringer seem to be new to the amp thing, and following their normal policy are probably the cheapest, however I wouldn't buy any amp without hearing it first.
