what is the best amp for an intermediate level player.

I’m currently using an amp sim but would rather use an amp I have a budget of around 300 - 600$ and size does not matter for the amp.

you can either go for the katana 50 mk3 or 100 mk3, or if you want a tube combo you will have to push more the budget, and do you need it ?

How much would I have to spend for the tube combo and no not really but I’m constantly going to other places and if I wanted to play I’d have to use a cheap squire amp.

depends on the style of music you play, you need a different kind of amp if extreme

I don't like carrying around tube amps lol

I’m usually play hard rock like Van Halen.

And the weight doesn’t matter to me
