I just sold my Marshall MG100HDFX half stack. I get better tone through line 6 Gearbox software than I did with that amp.

I still need to know if you already have a cab for those ampheads, otherwise you'll have to buy one too... If you have a cab and 400 euros to spend than go for this tube mosnter metal amp: http://www.thomann.de/de/peavey_valve_king_head.htm (Die knapp 50 Euro wirst du wohl noch zusammenkratzen können oder?  )The Valveking is a 100 watt all tube amp with an amazing Metal tone and a good clean channel for a small price! --------------------  Gear: - Jackson USA Select KV2 King V with EMG 81/85 - Gibson Les Paul Custom Arctic White with EMG 81/85 - Ibanez Rg 8527 J Custom 7-String with DiMarzio Evolution and Air Norton - Peavey 6505+ head with Marshall 1960AV 4x12 cab - Peavey Vypyr 30 Practice Amp - Dunlop Crybaby From Hell, Maxon OD808, Boss TU-2, MXR CarbonCopy, ISP Decimator, MXR Custom Audio Electronics Booster |

Groove tubes aren't quality. They're relabeled Russian tubes from what I've heard...

QUOTE (Fullmetal_Tmd @ Oct 6 2008, 08:03 PM) i don't know if they're available in europe or not, but u could look up BUGERA amps. they're pretty cheap, but they deliver a brutal sound for the money. i don't if know if they're in your budget, though(they're about 500-700 USD) Yes they are available in Europe at low cost. And like you say they deliver brutal sound for the money. But from what I've heard they suffer from really bad quality. - Loose knobs - Picks up radio stations - Non functioning noise gates - Non functioning texture knob And it makes sense really. There's no way one could deliver such a cheap 100-120W all tube amp without cutting costs somewhere. What Bugera has managed is to show a killer amp on paper and spend a fair deal on commercials. In the other end that leads to loose plastic knobs and all in all low production cost. I was very keen on the Bugera series before it was released, I could still see and understand it would have it's pros and cons being so cheap. But too bad, I've heard a lot of them go up in flames even. One just have to realize, there are no free lunches  Hope your band buddys amp will hold up. -------------------- My bands homepage

If you want metalcore sound, Marshall and Spider will not deliver it. The closest you will get is with Randall.

So you are not looking for a combo amp , just the head - you have your own speaker cabinet to plug it in ?? Tell us what style of music you play mostly...
Regarding Behringer and similar , they have some models that "work" and I've seen some bass heads in action working very hard for years so they are not all bad...And sound is decent.Also some product are better copies than others , for example BDI21 di box/preamp.But its really a gamble (because of low production quality) and you never know what you get..But with warranty of 1 or more years you can make a calculation if its worth it..
