I just bought my first guitar...it is a Yamaha Pacifica and still need an amp. My playing interests are metal and blues/rock...mostly metal though. I am looking for something to play personally, I won't be needing anything to play gigs. My interests are mostly Metallica, Sevendust Slayer etc. Are there any amps out there that I could pick up used that wouldn't be too expensive and would give a decent Metallica sounding crunch? I have looked up the amps listed in the sticky post at the top of this forum, and they are all WAY too expensive! What would you guys get?

Thanks!

my first amp was a behringer v-amp 100W combo. great for the money, packed full of effects and you can get pretty much any basic sound you want... great for metallica stuff.
