Im a metal guy and I live in an apartment.....I'm all about high gain, shredding, full blown full distortion.....anyway you get the picture.
Currently I play a line6 original Pod Bean 2.0 and it sounds good but I really crave more warmth. Being in an apartment I need more. The Pod sounds great for what it is but I need more. I play it through a JBL studio monitor. I'm also limited with a budget with a limit trying to stay around $100-250 I'm not against used. I'm on disability so funds are very limited so that is why my budget is low .....I may even b stuck with a budget of $150 because I'm going to have to convince the wife which is always a tough quest that I will have to conquer...l.but anyway....I have always lived in an apartment so I have generally stuck with a small setup. I have been thru all kinds of different amps and multi units but I don't know if their has been anything that has come out in the last few years of interest.....I have been playing for 30 years and thru those years I have found the best small amp I have ever touched is the Blackstar ID Core....for a small setup for high gain has there been anything that has come out that is better? I heard the boss katana came out but lot of that for editing you really need a computer which I do not have, I only have an old iPad, so that is out....,.so I'm trying to decide do I get another blackstar Id core or should I get a better multi effects unit? In the past I had the older zoom G3 but the distortion but the distortions were lacking but I have heard the updated one sounds much better......so for high gain metal here are my options......which one would you recommend???
1. Zoom g3n
2. Blackstar ID Core
3. Moore GE100
4. Digitech rp360
5. Boss GT-1
6. Line6 Pocket POD
7. Line6 Amplifi tt
8. Line6 spider amp
I know in the early 90s the spider amps were not very good but I don't know if they hav improved or not.....I was just leaning more towards something that was more recent with updated,modern sound/technology since The recent stuff tends to sound better......so which one would fit me best? Which gets your vote?
I do not live in an area that has any guitar shops that I can go to, to try any of these out.....so please help me decide...luckily if I do not dig it I can always return it so please let me know which gets your vote
