Well, a combo is fine for my purposes. If I went for a head, I'd be compromising on a cab to stay on budget (which could be done, I've seen used 5150 cabs go under $300 for instance). Price is a significant factor. If for instance one was to say a Mark IV would be ideal but a <whatever> is...

Thanks Nep, that was a very helpful post. I did a search and have been reading more on MK IVs and I'm seeing two polar opposite opinions. People either seem to consider them a tweaker's dream or a tweaker's nightmare. Either way, it's definately a tweaker's amp. And that's not even...

Yeah, that's kinda what is pushing me away from the MK III a little bit. Independent EQ is pretty important for us channel-switchers. By the way, after talking to a guy at work today, I think I'm adding the Single Rec to my list. I know it does metal like all hell, but I'm told it also...

Thanks Tony. So I'm to understand that the other three just don't push the metal side of things adequately for thrash metal/black metal type stuff? How are the cleans and mild OD on the III and IV? Is either one any better in that respect? (I know I should just go listen to them, but the...

I suppose a description of my guitar might be in order as well. I'm using a '91 American Strat with an HSH configuration (JB, Texas Special, PAF Pro) with coil cuts. Don't know if that makes much difference in an amp recommendation though.

Okay, here's where I am. I'm on a budget of no more than $1300 and I've narrowed my search down to a few choices. First though, it would be prudent to outline what I plan to use it for. I need an amp that can do beautiful cleans, that "edge of breakup" blues tone, a good classic rock tone...
