    the spider halfstacks are great for the price imo, ive got a spider II halfstack (hd-75 i think), and love it. they are great for metal, cleans aren't so good... but when distorted is awesome. I recommend it, but im sure at least five other people with expensive tube amps are going to tell you that the spiders are shit, but they are very decent amps.

          Carvin make a couple of awesome heads under 1K.

          I love my Peavey JSX which I bought new for 1K on ebay. You probably can get one used for 750-800.

            Peavey JSX is always a good choice, indeed. Superb value for the money.

                I have a new in box Randall V2 head on ebay right now starting bid at $700 with no reserve. No bids yet and only a day left on it. Free shipping to a forum member. There is a link on the last page of the spam thread in general discussion.

                    Boy Cliffton, you're on a roll with being chok full of shit.

                    If I were on a budget, and didn't have my Mesa shit, I would totally be rocking a Valve King. Awesome amps, and not just for the money. They're just all around great. Very versatile.

                      Exactly why am I "chock full of shit" if the sound of an amp disgusts ME? I said "to my ears".. can you read or are you illiterate? :confused::x

                        The Randall V2 is a great amp. 700 is a fair price for it too. I don't want to speak for MikeAmottV2006 but I'm sure he'll knock a couple hundred off of the price being you are on the forums. j/k

                          Thanks for sharing. No one really cares what you have to say in case you didn't notice.

                            That's ok. I'm sorry you feel that way. Way to be mature. Carry on in your ignorance-the VK still = shit.

                              Is it? I thought that was just your opinin. Now you're speaking quite definitively. Hm.
