I've been playing the guitar for 5 years now and I'm sick of my current 15W amp. I'd like to go bigger, but I'm not sure what to get.
I play mainly thrash/heavy metal (Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Ozzy, etc), and I'd like to have the power if I need it. I don't gig yet, but that doesn't really influence my choice right now.
I know I'd like a combo unit, rather than a half/full stack. I've looked at Marshall, and I think there are better metal amps for the money. My next choice was Mesa/Boogie. They're expensive, and I don't really care whether it's tube, valve, or solid state.
Then I looked at Line 6. They're much less expensive, and have gotten great reviews. But, they build effects and amp modelling into pretty well every amp, which I don't need, and makes me wonder if the amp can't just 'be itself'. I have my own effects.
I'm looking at something between 50 and 150 watts, preferably with 1 or 2 12" speakers, preferably Celestions. $500 max. Any ideas?
