Versitile Amplification?

ok my band split up and i was borrowing an amp from the bassist which i had to return, so now i'm looking to get a new means of amplification for both guitar and vocals + learning the electric violin. i am poor but need something versatile. i was thinking of getting something like this

does anyone have one? if so is it any good?
is there anything else under $250 that you could suggest?

thanks

i dont know anything about amps but nice quote dude!

i think i've heard some decent things about some of the fender frontmen

honestly, I'm in love with the vox vt series. They are not too expensive, they are very versitile. AND they are kinda tubed

i have a fender frontman 212R, i love it. Got it for $300 about a year ago.

can you have both input channles running at the same time on that say for a guitar and a mic or 2 guitars?

@ kellenman:

do you get a warm tone on vocals going through the FF 212R?
