I usually recommend a Boss Katana for a beginner, but they aint that cheap.....
I was kinda thinking software too, but she probably needs to be able to take it with her?Why amp?
I was thinking software on pc through pc speakers which might not sound too bad, but not so good out of a phone.There are a bunch of portable devices. Even on the phone.

Buy something used on Reverb?I should have mentioned she's 67 years old and has no tech savvy, she's even a little worried that the above mentioned maybe too much for her. The Fender Mustang V2 has come up as well, I had a Fender Frontman 25 that sounded really good. Bought it at GC for 80 bucks 10 years ago, now they are more than double that, wth?
Thanks for all the suggestions.
Anything else she should look at for under $130?
Doesn't leave much budget for an actual ampEminence and Celestion both have good speakers in the sub $100 range.
Fender Mustang I.
The weak spot in most cheap practice amps is usually the speaker. They typically put the cheapest crap speaker in them with a tiny magnet about 2 inches in diameter. Find a cheap used 1x12 practice combo and spend a few bucks on a decent replacement speaker for it. You will be surprised at the difference it will make. Eminence and Celestion both have good speakers in the sub $100 range. Even less if you find a used one.
