Jet city, Peavey or bugera head?

[AboNyx]

Hey! So I'm looking for a new tube amp head to tag along my laney 2x12 cabinet.
I play mostly Metal and heavy stuff, and also some clean stuff as well.
Most of the time I play home and sometimes with a drummer but not quite often.

So the 3 amps available in my price range are:
1-peavey valveking 100 head (used for 200 euros)
2-Jet city 22h or 50w head (New)
3-bugera 6262 head (used for 250 euros)
Unfortunately the only amp I could try out is the valveking..
I'm not very picky on used or new as long as it does the job well.

My budget is not more than 300 euros.

I've got a handmade explorer with James Hetfield EMGs. Also have a blackstar ht-metal pedal and will be adding a tc nova system soon hopefully.

I'm located in Sweden, Gothenburg.

If anyone has any experience with any please share it and let me know what would be the best amp out of those 3.

Please don't suggest any other amps because those are the only ones that i could purshase.

Having lived in Mississippi for many years I say get the Peavey.

I would say skip the valveking, the cleans are probably the best out of the three but it really needs a speaker swap to sound decent, and even then the dirt on the Jet City or the Bugera is still far superior IMO.

I would say I have had an easier time getting cleans off of the 6262 than the Jet City 22h (havnt tried the 50), but if you are one of those metal players that throws a chorus on the cleans and calls it good you could probably get away with either. Both of those can get some good distortion out of them, especially if you throw an overdrive in front of them. The build quality will likely be better on the Jet City than the Bugera through.
