: : i play classic rock, some metal, etc (zeppelin, metallica, pink floyd, etc.) and im looking for an amp that will fit this type of music. ive looked into tubes, but im still not exactly sure if thats the way i want to go. if any of you have any ideas or amps it will be a great help. thanks
: :1st. Tubes only. 2nd,1 amp OR guitar for that matter won't cover the sounds you listed.For the money,an amp that will give you clean to crunchy/gainy but NOT distorted, get a Soldano Atomic 16. But you'll need a 2-12/4-12 spkr cab to let the amp open up.It's a 1-12 combo. I believe you can find new ones for $500ish at places online.Then add a good pedal for the Metallica sound. Good luck.
For all your tones and much more check out Line6! I have a Flextone II XL and I LOVE it. The web site is awsome, you can download tones from a complete library of artists(including several METALLICA tones) and store them in your amp or on your PC.Check out the Flex HD(that's my next toy),POD,and POD PRO. For the price you can't get a better sound!
GOOD LUCK!
