modelling amp? no thank you
Older modelling amps used low-fidelity, low resolution models. Recent modelling in the Fender Mustangs, Peavey Vyprs, and Line 6 HD PODs are much higher resolution and simulate more variables, more realistically to achieve much higher fidelity than before.

I know a guy who gigs with his Mustang II, replacing his Fender Tweed. Despite its 40 watts solid state (similar to 20 watt tube) it can be heard well over drums at the venue where I've seen him play. He gets incredible tone out of that thing with a slide. When I asked him about his new amp, I couldn't believe it wasn't a tube amp.

As for the actual review. Seems like a pretty good amp for what your going for. Don't think I'd have much use for it myself though.

This amp is amazing. People need to try it in store, it is definitely a huge step forward more than anything we've ever seen before. The FUSE interface is just like Amplitube in real time with your amp, and the tones you can get are the best I've ever heard. Seriously, you look at the competition for the same price, and they are toys compared to this. You can go deep and change the bias realtime and everything. F'ing amazing.
Meh Peavey still has them beat for practise amps. Vypyr still kicks ass.

For metal it kicks everything. The recto model on the Tube one is AWESOME.
But it is useless for anything lower gain, IMHO.

It's just a thing of taste, I love tube amps but I wouldn't mind having a good modelling amp like this one

Got rid of my Vypyr 30 for the Mustang III. When you get the MIII dialed in properly it surpasses the Vypyr in regards to metal. I had a hard time getting anything like a full on Doom sound on my Vypyr that likens to Acid Horse or Acid Witch, and the MIII can do it easily. Just have to really dig into the settings and setting the volume levels properly.

- Fender = 100W, Line 6 = 75W
- Fender has more presets/adjusability
- Fender after taxes was $150 less then the Line 6 before taxes.
- Fender came with Fuze software, Ableton Live 8 Lite and AmpliTube programs.

Tube amps are nice if you can afford them, but they aren't going to make you some awesome kick ass player. For jamming at home or recording onto my computer this Mustang III will do it better then anyone.

I am deciding between the fender mustang 3 orvthe blackstar ht20 valve combo.i have done a lot of research which do you think i should go for?

They're completely different animals... it depends on what you need it for. I bought my Mustang III for practice/gigging with band/home. If you want to play at home, a valve amp may not be a good idea, since it needs hi-volumes to saturate the valves and get good distorsions.

Digital modeling is not my thing (I want the amp to have one to three sounds that you can tweak instead of 50 different sounds) and I've not played through Mustang but if it's good then it's good. And it's everybody's own opinion.

Tube or not, if the amp sounds good then it's a good amp. I hate it when people say that it's tube or it will sound like crap. But I believe that a good solid state amp can be as good as a good tube amp. Don't judge products before trying them.

I agree there are quite a few good SS amps. But there's no way an SS amp could sound like an all-tube: it's not a matter of fanciness, it's a matter of physics. When saturated, transitors react completely different from tubes: they 'break' the sound, instead of making it round and mellow. SS amps lack harmonics when distorted and, generally, they sound 'colder' and more 'artificial' than all-tubes. Last but not least, they have a tendency of making every guitar sound the same, thus taming its character and own tonal virtues. That's why pros always use all-tubes. Of course, for bedroom practice it is better to choose an SS, unless you live alone in a manor 50 km away from any other form of human living. But I might suggest you some Vox, Marshall or Orange amps, all-tube and low-wattage, that are an ideal solution for your bedroom... Of course, in case you really care about your sound.
