Does it have to be an amp at all?
Amp are the best tone wise but also more expensive comparing to processors and stuff like that. And if it's only for home use,eventually recording as well, than a processor might be better solution for you? -------------------- Youtube

Some of the amps I have looked into are: *Laney LC15R *Peavey Valveking 112 *Peavey JSX Mini Colossal *Blackheart BH5H and BH112 Half Stack For the ones you looked into I'm fond of the Laney and I belive the Blackheart is a killer too, never yet heard it live but according to what people say it's great. I've only got one objection against combos in general. My Peavey Classic 30 had one of it's power tubes run bad way too early, sit behind the combo and feel what's happening back there when you play. Putting the tubes behind the speaker is a horrible solution in regards to tube life span. The air is trembling and punching the tubes back there and that's what tubes dislike the most an that's why one went out resulting in bad sound. A couple of other combos for you to concider, Orange AD5 and the Tiny Terror. They look appealing, and the Tiny Terror is available as a head aswell. -------------------- My bands homepage

Man and Muris your tone is pretty sweet. I might have to look into the Pandora, although I'm not sure what sound card my PC has. I checked Device Manager and there were a few things including 'Realtek High Definition Audio' but I'm not sure about the Hardware. Any advice on how to determine what sound card I have would also be appreciated. Just go for a card with good analog-digital (A/D) converter, that's the main thing to record healthy signal on HD. I have E-MU 1820m , just as a reference. -------------------- Youtube

If you get a Pandora PX5D you don't have to worry about your soundcard, because it has a built-in USB audio inteface so you can record straight into your computer.
Just in case you might to check out PX5D instead of PX4D! -------------------- Guitars:

Now you've moved from small combo all the way to Guitar rig 3. Tubeamp -> Software one could put it
I think you're floating all over the place here, better state what your needs are and start from that end instead. Otherwise the risk is that you'll never end up with what you want. So, what do you need? What do you expect from your gear? How do you plan to use it? Questions like that. -------------------- My bands homepage
