Elektron Musical Instruments

I wanna make this stuff most simple as possible.
I was thinking about buying a sidstation this summer, but i've no 
experience in midi synths, so i want a cheap midi controller (could 
you seggest me one?) that you don't have to program with the computer 
and i'm wondering if i can plug the sid in my guitar or bass 
amplifier, sure i can , but which are the effects? thanks for any 
reply
