Congratulations on your guitar mate, may it serve you well!
 Since you play all sorts of music, a versatile solid or hybrid amp would do the trick. 12" speaker is a must, and power shouldn't above 50W, since you are playing at home. For home play you will use mostly 5-10W maximum. Solid state amps can sound good on low volume, and I can recommend some amp with a good clean channel, and good drive channel as well. Check out Randal solid state combo series, they have good cleans, and enough of gain for trash as well. They are not too bluesy, but with a tubecreamer/Boss BD2/SD1 pedal you can get a nice bluesy overdrive. Other very good options are Vox Valvetronic series, and Line 6 combos as well. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

There's a new 5W amp coming from Blackstar, model HT-5, that has e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g at least I'd wish for!!! Tubes, headphones out !!, fx loop, cab emulator iiiihihihihihi
 Won't cost you a fortune, 360€ so maybe you'd get to buy a couple of effect pedals aswell for your metal tones  It's out Nov 28 so there are no reviews on it yet but I dare to promise it's going to be awesome! -------------------- My bands homepage

If I were you I'd look for a used Line 6 Duoverb. They are sold REALLY cheap these days and sound amazing for the price. Also, though they're a bit heavy (Not by any means annoyingly heavy though) You can Split the signal between the two speakers or blend the sound for when you're playing loud. Don't let the price fool you, I played one and It definitely competed with any new hybrid/cutting edge solid state amps. Check em' out on ebay. Here's a couple links.

VOX is great, has some modelling but also a bit on the darkside. Line 6 has the worst sound of the bunch, but it is the most versatile.
