You looking for good onboard distortion? If so, I think maybe you can go for the Peavey XXX 40watt combo, or the peavey XXL 100watt(can be switched between 25,50 and 100watt) combo if you have the cash to burn, versatile amps and definitely great for metal.
If you're planning to use your own pedal distortion, then maybe you can go for kustom amps, quite value, celestion speakers. Many recommend the roland cube 60, nvr tried it personally. Vox AD30/50vt? tried the ad30vt, quite nice sounding cleans, can match it with your pedal distortion, can use the onboard amp modellers as well

oh yea, It'll be good if you get something with a 12inch driver, find that theres more bass response in 12inch drivers than the other smaller drivers

tell us why you want a new amp...
hmm, i'd say get a smarvo.
no. 1, its damn cheap :twisted:
no. 2, the cleans really sound good, but only down side is the distortion
channels arent fantastic, so its best if u whack everything via pedals onto the clean channel. but seeing as u said ur dist/od mainly comes from the pedals, then i suppose this won't pose much of a problem for u.
no. 3, for 800 bucks, u can buy a half stack if u want to \m/
about the great size and all, its not too much of an issue imho, the possibility of power from the baby is very nice to have. plus if u have school gigs or something, u can drag that thing along if u want to. only thing is tweaking the volume very carefully, as there seems to be a huge volume "surge" at a certain point.
its really quite shiok if u turn it up just a little bit during the early afternoons with ur door closed, it really gets u the "mood" to rock and roll, makes u feel like u can do anything 8)
but also, as sub said, why the new amp? i heard the line6 that u're using is pretty good.

alright since theres already a thread on this, gotta ask, which of these amps is the most versatile and value for money?
Ibanez Toneblaster 15W, Marshall MG 15, Laney HCM30, Behringer GM-108, VOX Pathfinder 15R or any kustom amps to recommend?
i play mostly hard rock, punk rock, metal and a little blues, budget ard 200- getting a new amp to replce the ultra sucky yamaha GA10
p.s- sorry to itachi for hijacking your thread, since amps are being discussed here might as well :wink:

Just go try them out and decide yourself ...
Since you want something louder and you got 800 to 1k to spend. Try looking for a used tube amp. A 30 Watt Tube amp has enough headroom to be louder than a 50watt SS amp and you get much better tone from it in my opinion. Try hunting down a used laney tube combo. the VC30s are pretty decent, got mine used from GC for 750.
