[Ozzmike]

Yea i am looking to buy i nice amp in the 500$ range i play sabbath/maiden stuff so.. any suggestions? i was thinking a line 6 but idk..

oh and i was wondering i never played a amp head. Can u play just the amp head or do u need a cabinet?

For $500?
Also YOU NEED to hook up a cab to a head. Using a head without a cab is dangerous.

Hm lets see here A valve king would be a nice starter to try
Peavy Valve King (http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Peavey-ValveKing-112-Combo-Amp?sku=481442)
or B-52
B- 52 (http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/B52-60Watt-1x12-Tube-Combo?sku=480046)

Thats what I would recommend to try first
Then these
Randall (http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Randall-RX120DHS-120W-Half-Stack-Guitar-Amp-with-4x12-Cabinet?sku=481269)
Roland Cube (http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Roland-Cube-60-Guitar-Amp?sku=480197)
Vox Valve Tronix (http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Vox-Valvetronix-AD50VT-50W-Guitar-Combo-Amp-?sku=482615)

If your just wanting a Sabbath sound, get a laney

The only things you won't find their are the Randalls and Laneys,
also when you go to Guitar Center and you see a "VHT" amplifier (about a $4,000 amp) Makes sure you play it as loud as you can ;)

Goto Guitarcenter and play through this setup.

Once you fall in love with it, tell them if they can do any better on the price.. Its almost a guarantee that they will lower the price a little more into your price range. Although this is one of the more "economy" stack setups, its still a marshall and it is very loud. It keeps up quite well with my JCM800, and has a great tone.

I am highly suggesting this setup.
