HT1 ... Only because I've become a Blackstar fanboy, as of late.

Very different volumes
For my uses of home recording, I would go the the HT1. If I need more volume for light giging and don't mind loosing the tube sound, get the Viper. I'm pretty sure the HT1 will be a better sounding amp.
I would also suggest you take a look at an Orange Micro Terror or Micro Terror Dark. Great amps for the money.

Honestly speaking, judging from some youtube videos, I personally dont like the those ( slightly prefer the micro terror dark ) because they dont really sound versatile to me... I like to do those chug chug metal stuff and smooth blues or somewhere between them.

I dont want to regret to get the HT1...If it is worthy enough then there is no more new amps but new cabinets XD

As a HT-5 owner, I am biased. Gotta be the HT-1H.

I used to own a Vypyr 30, and I thought it was atrocious. Hated it. It was harshness incarnate and too loud for home use and too quiet for band practice IMO.
I use a Randall RD5 now to practice at home, and it's much better.

The EQs on the Vypyr is what the HT1 lacks.....but I'm still not sure if the Vypyr would be overkill for my home use.
Maybe some gigs in the future? Idk
I've seen the RD5 also but it lacks versatility...or it is just me?

Re: Peavey Vypyr 30 or Blackstar HT1?
I like the idea of a home practice amp that can also be used for band practices and gigs, at least in small bars. That also figures into an amp's versatility: something small and lightweight when you don't need a lot of volume. For that reason, I wouldn't want an amp under 30 watts.

Re: Peavey Vypyr 30 or Blackstar HT1?
FWIW, I don't think the Vypyr is loud enough for band practice either. I used to have to crank the master to 10 with a moderate-hitting drummer to be able to remotely hear any hint of guitar playing at all, and it goes without saying that by that level, it did not sound is best.
Yeah, no, the RD5 is not versatile at all. It's got one sound and that's it. It's also not band-practice-loud either.

My current home practice amp is a Spider IV, 75 watt x 12". Small and lightweight, but 4 channel with a lot of tone/effect options. Grab and go; it's about as small as a lot of amps with a lot less power. I can play it soft, or crank it when playing with a loud drummer.

I didn't think you'd be caught dead with one of those Spider amps.
