I am in desperate need to get a new amp for my Epiphone Tom Delonge ES-333, which I highly recommend for other pop-punk players. I currently play it on Ibanez IBZ-10G or whatever it is and I run that through a BOSS ME-20 multi-effects pedal. I have been looking at Fender amps, Vox and initially I was looking at the Marshall HDFX100, Blackstar HT-5H or a Randall head. I would be using the amp for recording, live and everything you can do it for you know. The only condition would be the amp has to be up to $500 or $600. I appreciate your help.

Check out a Peavey Classic 50. Four 10" speakers, 50 watts all tube. Not too heavy, sounds great! My singer used one before he bought a Mesa Rect O Verb.

Theres a few on ebay, definitely within your price range.

I would go with the Marshall even though they are pretty pricey, they are definately worth it in my opinion.
If not, go with Fender.

A used Peavey 5150 combo would be a great buy in that price range... I've actually seen them as low as $400
Peavey Classic 30 or Classic 50 would be great too.

Sometimes you'll see Mesa Boogie Rectoverb combos as low as $600-$650, so that might be an option if you keep your eyes peeled. That would really be ideal.

Does anyone own tech 21 tradmark combo? I was checking them out lately and I was wondering if they would be good for a pop-punk sound. Also, what about Fender Hot Rod Deville? The sound I would like to get is a Blink type sound basically and Fall Out Boy sound too.

get a mesa boogie tremoverb combo 2x12 if you can spend maybe 2-300 more.

Definitely the tremoverb 2x12 if you have $900-$1000 but for $500-$600, you can get Marshall JCM900 2x12. Kenny from Daphne Loves Derby plays one live and so did Bobby from Gatsbys american Dream.
