Hi!
I'm a huge noob when it comes to guitar equipment, I've been that kind of player who've been sitting in his room practicing with an amp simulating software or at best a 50W combo amp. I've got very little knowledge about amp heads and how they work, but I am in need of one now since me and my band are moving in to our own rehearsal premesis. During my years playing in various bands it has always been a stack that I could borrow, and I never really cared about getting one for myself. Thought times are a changing!
I'm of course planning on going to the nearest music store and try out some amps, but first I would like for you guys to share some of your knowledge in this matter.
This is good sample of the distortion I usually play with while messing around with guitar rig.

I like the heavy and slightly muddy/dirty sound of it.
I've been looking around the web, listening to playthrough's with various amps and reading alot of reviews.
Theese are the ones that have caught my attention

And the peavey 5150 which I could not find at Thomann.
Which one of theese would you recommend? If you wish to hear what kind of style I play you can check out my band at, only got a couple of samples up but you should be able to get the idea.
