Lots of places have 4 x 12s hanging around for decoration, so the K100 head can be a very compact option, if one came up second hand, with the footswitch, within budget, I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend it.
I don't think it comes with a footswitch however so need options in what to get to allow them to switch between 2 amp types. I.e clean and dirty.
I think you save them under Tone Settings CH1 and CH2?
There one here but it costs like £31 to ship from the US.

Just want something quick n easy to setup and for the learner to use, CH1 is clean and CH2 is one of the dirty amps. 1 button to switch between the two. They'd need to be in preset mode when they use the amp right? As we learn songs that require a switch during the song between sounds.
They said they'd bring the amp in (as they got it as a Christmas present) so if I can get that footswitch prior then plug it all in and help them set it all up and show them how to use all the settings that'd be good.
I suppose he could have 4 preset sounds, clean, crunch, main rhythm distortion and lead sound with some effects. Usually that's what I use on my Kemper. Or he could just use his volume knob on his guitar.
Thanks for the links though I'm pretty sure we'll figure it out, he has some crappy Harley Benton practice amp so deserved a nice upgrade. The distortion channel on it is terrible.
I mean, he could use a distortion pedal to switch between sounds but I'd imagine for the money these amps cost he'd want to use the built-in overdrive.
And as a separate question - for the direct/recording out what type of cable do we use to connect to wherever it needs to go? TRS or a TS?
He usually mic's his amp speaker for online lessons via the Yamaha MG06. But then if the direct out sounds good he can go straight into the desk. On my DSL5cr I used the line out but it didn't sound too good, that was with a TS guitar cable though.
Hope this helps.

I suppose as a tutor I can write it off as a teaching expense if I say its for myself. If they're going to spend money on a decent amp they may as well make full use of its facilities. He does plan to play live one day so may as well get the stuff that will do the stuff he needs for futureproofing.
