: I'm currently trying to decide between a Line 6 Spyder and a Marshall AVT100, I play like to have a mean metal sound but do a lot of clean stuff aswell, any suggestions?

I have used both. Indeed I own a Line 6 Spider for home rehearsing, use a Marshall MG100 head & MG412 cab live, and use a Marshall AVT100 head & 412cab at the rehearsal studios. My mate has a Marshall AVT2000 100w combo, too that I've played thru. I like a mucky scooped metal tone plus a chorus-laden clean tone.

It kinda depends on what you'll be doing. If you are playing with a full band go Marshall + 4x12, if all you do is play along with backing go Line 6 spider. If you specifically want a combo, go Line 6. If you want to go head + cab try the Marshall MG head & cab. It's far less expensive than the AVT and admittedly the range of effects etc isn't there but the tone is well up there with it and I'm heavily impressed, being a valve addict for many years previously.
