so, I'm looking around at amps, which will probably be my next purchase. I want something I can use as a recording/practice amp... I don't want it to be very loud. but yet I still want great tone... I was looking at the peavey classic 30, but according to everyone else on here (I've never owned a tube amp) 30 tube watts is alot louder then 30 solid state watts. so I'm wondering if that'll be too loud. another one I was looking at was the marshall micro stack, the one with the 2 1x10 cabinets. but I don't know about solid state marshalls. I want a good distortion for hard rock and metal, yet still with a good clean channel. I was hoping it would be under $500 but I can stretch that to an extent, I would like there to be a headphone jack for when I need absolutely no volume (after midnight and the like) and a line out jack so I can skip the whole microphone thing when recording. (unless you can use a headphone jack as a line out.. I'm not sure...) I know I don't want a modeling amp, I would much rather have an amp that creates it's own sound rather then try to recreate others. and I'm open to pretty much anything, suggestions please!
