I've tried the Vox AC15cc1
last time i went it was going for bout $750 at City Music
Really great sounding amp!
Epiphone Valve Jr or Valve Special can be considered as well.
Lastly, Blackheart? but i haven't tried it before....heard lots of gd stuff bout it though
But like wat leecs said...small speakers like the Epiphone Valve Jr Combo puts me off ^^

the VC 15 is good for palm muting... especially when connected thru a 4x12" cab...:twisted:
LC is ok lah... for home use, good enough... cannot always judge things with your triamp as a benchmark man...:mrgreen:
i was looking for one a while back, hope it will help u....

How about Line 6?
.. but then i prefer more simple designs and i think most line 6 amps have like lots of effects in built?

The Fender is definitely not enough for metal. In fact, the best for metal out there would be Mesa Boogie, Krank, Kustom, Peavey, etc but these can be quite expensive. Moreover I heard the Fender amps do not take pedals well.

you can pull off convincing metal with this Fender:
you can defitely get metal for this one but it's discontinued:

.. i don't really know anything about peavey tube amps though.. how about a windsor? does SL stock them?

i got my black heart little giant+1x12 cab last week for $567. i tried cranking it but it's too loud even at 3w. takes pedals really well though. i think it was cheaper when it first arrived in singapore.
initially i wanted to get the epiphone valve jr but that thing is too pricey for a single knob. little giant on the other hand has a 3/5w switch and even a 3 band eq(later proved to be useless). i got it from resolution audio(not sure if that's the name) at sunshine plaza, which turned out to be the last piece. heard these little monsters have to be backordered these days.maybe yamaha still has some left

and i dropped by mike's shop two days ago and tried out the biyang tube amp. it's definitely a value for money considering the 590 price tag. however, i did notice the over trebly sound, not sure if it's due to the uncovered panels.

it's about how the tubes react that's causing the the top end sizzle.

I dun think so...........Malaysia and the Internet are the next best options. Alternatively, try the Biyang tube amp or the Sound Drive SG610R or SG100R at Mike's SV. The latter 2 are non-tube but they have an incredibly nice tubey distortion channel. Check 'em out! As for Line 6, if u dun mind reading a manual b4 starting to use them, the Spider Valve series is in stock @ City Music.........pricewise u'd better call them to check.
