As you can pretty much judge from the title, what is the best amp for under £300?

I would say roland cube 30 or 60, but I heard fender frontman sounds alright too. If you want something hi-watt you could look into some randall stuff

Don't even touch Spiders!! I's hard to say that they're not good... They're crap!!! Those new Voxes from Valvetronics version are good  . They have really good dynamics. CUBE isn't as good as them...

Don't be so agressive  . There're a lot of people who like Spider's sound. IMO it's not very bad but I've heard better and cheaper amps. Spider is good for someone who don't know what he wants to play  . It gives wide variety of sounds.

Voxes and Rolands are much better than Spiders... Vetta and Flextone are really good amps but they're only amps from Line 6 I'd like to have...

Yeah, line 6 is always a good way to go. Like said above it offers alot.
The Vox amps are great, that AC15 will be awesome for a warm classic brit sound.
The Marshall JCM900 combo would be a great agressive brit sound.
The Fender Hot Rod Deluxe will give you a great clean, pretty good over driven sound and like the Vox something you'll never kick yourself in the butt for.
The Roland Cube is pretty nice, but I would pick line 6 over that. * Just my opinion* The Cube is more like a all in one practice amp.
On a very lucky day, I mean very lucky you might find a Gibson Goldtone for around $650 that would be something you would crap your pants for.
Well man the search begins, good luck!!! Hope we helped you out...

there really are a lot of ways to go with 600 dollars. It all depends on what your going for. You could pick up some pretty nice used peavey stuff at excellent prices
