I never had this problem with my line6. I only got rid of it because I wanted an amp with no built in effects or modeling. I like to use pedals. So here's the question. I want the best possible 2x12 combo or half stack for $1000k or less. I just want to have good tone and be able to keep up with a drummer and the rest of the band. Any help would be awesome!

BTW: I play mostly metal with very heavy distortion. So I only really care about the quality of the clean channel.

Don't know if you are into Vox, but they put out a Valvetronix one
It's a AD50VT-XL it come with 2x12" VOX Oringinal Speakers, here in Japan they retail for ¥63000 which is about $630 bucks. You might check it out and see if you like it. They seem to be popular with the younger generation here, I think the price has to do a lot with it. Of course you probably could take the speakers out and put in some Vintage 30 12's Celestions and I'm sure you'll be any way good luck with your find


I probably never listen to how other songwriters write their songs, I just write on using my own imagination. windsong
