Here’s an excerpt from the article:
************** Excerpt from Article *****************
Avoid the Features that Don’t Matter
An amp with built in effects, extra picks, “rock star settings” and all those other gimmicky add-ons don’t help your tone. Avoid them.
Steer clear of the amp kits and avoid the cheap beginner or practice amp Easter eggs. While you can’t always be certain where a company might be cutting costs, the tone of a small tube amp is not something that can be easily masked. Amp manufacturers can’t bull crap their way to great tone. This means that if you shop simply based on tone-related features, you’ll always be better off.
Solid State or Tube Amp
The technology in solid state amplifiers has improved over the years, though tube amps still retain their status as the more genuine and desirable of the two options. Tubes just produce a warmer and more full tone than what you’ll get with solid state circuitry. The difference between tube and solid state amplification is typically easy to recognize from a sound-quality standpoint.
Solid state amps are also becoming more digitized with built-in effects and other features that are harder to produce in a tube amp. Thus, tubes are the more “organic” and purist-friendly approach, which means guitar players tend to prefer them. You’ll seldom see the pros with solid state rigs.

Pretty weak list. Once I saw the Bugera I knew this would be bad….
this sounds like ai generated .it's more like :here are a few random cheap amps
Bkackstar amps are the best deal on the planet right now
better yet learn to build guitar amps and you will spend even less
A better option, if you can think outside the box, is to buy a used Traynor YBA-1 Bass Master head off Reverb and have it modded by an amp tech to Marshall specs. You'll be in it for $1000 – $1500 total. Then buy a speaker cabinet capable of handling a 50 watt head (CL should have a nice cab for $500 or less). The advantage of this option is that Traynor heads were built REALLY well and are easy for your local amp tech to work on should you ever need it repaired. It's a turret board wiring construction and the transformers are very high quality. With a few simple mods, you can have a Marshall killer amp with as much gain as you request to have with the mods done.
Another option, if you want a low wattage bedroom amp, is an early 60s Ampeg Jet or Reverberocket. Buy one that has the 6V6 power tubes. Take it to an amp tech and have it gone through. You're looking at a total cost of around $1500. They are 1X12 combo amps and even if it needs a new speaker, a Celestion Alnico Gold will cost around $300. Those are not high gain amps but a simple overdrive pedal in front will give you plenty of oomph. Get one before they skyrocket in price.
And my last suggestion would be a Fender Vibro Champ from the late 60s to mid 70s. 6 watts is VERY loud. Those Vibro Champs are easy to work on and sound great especially with a good quality speaker. You can find a Vibro Champ for less than $1000.
All of the amps mentioned in the video probably sound really good but if you ever have a problem with them, they could be difficult to repair. They are not built to the same level of durability that those Traynors were built.
Btw, I have two YBA-1 heads, an Ampeg Rocket and a Champ in my collection along with nine other high quality tube amps.
