If you only have one amp, make it a small one. Fifteen watts or less. You will be more welcome at jams, and the constant problem of feedback will be easier to deal with. Needless to say, the all-important woodshedding will be much easier on both you and neighbors, friends, family, dogs, etc. When you start playing a lot of big stages or outdoor gigs, it's time to get something with more power.
