ive been looking for a small tube amp to run with my pod xtlive and ive narrowed it down to either a peavey classic 30 ~ $500 US or a laney lc15r ~ $380 US. i know neither of these amps have enough gain for metal but will it work fine with the xtlive? the laney is cheaper but also has 15 less watts. which one should i go for?

Re: final amp decision
go for the one with the most clean headroom, unless you're using it for coloring effects only
the XT will get you better metal tones than either of the stock amps, but a lot of it is still gonna be in your speakers. Sometimes i think speakers shape tone more than an actual amp

I agree with something that has good clean headroom. I run my Boss GT-6 into the effects loop of my Marshall and can get some pretty decent tones out of it.
Or, you could buy my Blues JR with an upgraded speaker....and have a bunch of $$ left over for other cool stuff!
