Hello everyone. I have been looking around for an amp to go with my Warmoth for some time now, and have recently gotten the okay from my dad. I need something that will be loud enough for small gigs, or at least keep up plenty well with a drummer, but still be playable for reasonably loud bedroom use. I have mostly been looking at combos and small heads, although I have been looking a lot at the Mesa Recording Pre, but I don't know what I would use as a power amp with it.
Anyway, what I'm asking for is if any of you have some advice as to which amp I should consider/get. I play mostly Metallica type stuff, but i hate using pedals, so preferably, I want 2 channels, but it at least needs to be able to be clean to pretty heavy distortion without help from pedals. Oh, and all tube definitely. My budget is around $1000, and I am probably going to buy used.
I have been reluctant to post this, because I thought I knew what I wanted, but turns out I don't really. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
