I'm surprised to hear you say you discount the Blackstar altogether. I think it'd be perfect for what you're looking for. The clean is pristine, and the distortion is really heavy. I think it would be exactly what you want. Ask Jolly.

Yeah, maybe I'm getting too caught up in the pure tube distortion thing when my ears could probably give a ****. I just need to try one, I hate that guitar center never has any in stock for me to play.

I had the tweaker 15 and I don't thing it had enough preamp gain for most metal genres. The tweaker 40 should be louder, more agressive, and have a lot deeper bass I would think. It could do 80's rock but I bet you'd still want a pedal for metal. The tweaker is all about emulating vintage sounds, IMO.

Pretty close to my thoughts. I have a tweaker and honestly love it. It covers alot of ground and very well. I think it does metal pretty well. 80s and VH type of pop metal. Not really nu metal or sludgy stuff. Have to pedal that. I even found a pretty good brown tone with it.. I has the el 84 bark which to me is alil darker sounding than an EL34 type amp. The biggest things I wanted in a small amp were a good gain, ( I was close to buying a Rev jr), a master volume and versatility. I had a jett city for a brief time and I liked it alot, but the gain wasnt a heavy as I wanted and I didnt like the single chan.
