What kind of Guitar Amp should i get?
Marshall is a good brand, nothing wrong with them, but you owe it to yourself to check out other brands for comparison… I like the “Marshall” sound, but I also know that I can get great tones without having the “Marshall” logo on my gear! Randall makes great metal amps… that was Dimebag’s preference, for instance, solid-state Randall. If you can find one, I would definitely check it out. Peavey is a mixed bag, for me – some of their amps are okay, some aren’t…. the Valveking, for instance – I’ve heard some that were hissy and noisy, and a few that weren’t. Definitely play before you buy…. I’ve also heard an XXX that I absolutely loathed… B-52 is a brand worth checking out… I’ve heard their AT-100 (I think that was the model number) has a great Recto-ish chunk to it. Keep in mind that while tube amps tend to be heavier (in weight) and more expensive, you can customize their tone by swapping out different tubes. While I’ve heard good things about Orange, I haven’t played them
