Re: I've made a decision.
... speaking of "Line6"... the other day at GC I was wanking through a Bogner Alchemist half-stack. I was surprised at the amount of usable sounds it had - 'twas best switched on 20w though ("Variac" mode?)... made it a little spongier on the attack side... achieved an articulate, Vai-ish lead tone... and with the mids cranked up a bit it got into EVH territory. I think it would be a GREAT bedroom/practice, or backstage warm-up amp... if you get one of the combos that is. Definitely recommended if you've got the $$$ to blow on a simple tube amp w/ built-in FX.
