Which guitar amp should i get, vox or blackstar?

The VT is a hybrid, not really a tube amp. Also the VT is not a metal amp. The Blackstar is your best bet for sure. No freakin idea why the folks above are recommending a VOX modeling amp, or even worse a solid state Marshall, for a guy that wants to play metal. If you want to save a few bucks take a look at the Peavey Valve King 50 watt all tube combo.
