price range would be nice...
if you're looking for a practice amp, vox makes some nice cheap solid states that have great versatility. Line 6 amps also have some good versatility. But if you also want to get a multi effects pedal, then I don't know what to tell you...
marshalls are good for a hard rockin' sound - ac/dc, iron maiden, and hammerfall use them
kranks are good for a badass metal tone - i believe amon amarth and megadeth use them
ac30s give a good rock/blues tone
oranges give a good rock/metal tone
etc...
but those would be pretty expensive, so it's important that you let us know your budget...

RGs are excellent...for metal and rock they kick ass. PRS is eh. Go for the RG.

stop there.
that is exactly what you should do, and tone is the only thing that matters

ooh, that too...what else do you care about besides tone?
well, i guess if it isn't loud enough...aside from volume and tone, though, there's really nothing.

I'll say I have a $1000 budget. Maybe a little over. Probably nothing over $1200, unless I did some very smart ebaying.
I don't have money now, because I'm in college, but after working all summer break I might be able to pick something up.

VHT Deliverance. It sounds great and has extreme clarity and diversity of tone.

Fancy Line 6? Vetta II head is quite "fancy", but id say fuck solid states. I myself Use a ENGL head for my metal and then a Dr.Z for country, blue etc, and other amps as well

the ENGLs are pretty pricey, yes? They sound great though...always wished I could get one.

Yeah they are fairly in the pricey range. Wonderful amps though, super clean and clear.
Also, for any fans of the nice overdriven sound ( blues, rock, country?), I would greatly recommend Dr.z amps. They can become quite saturated at tines, but a beautiful effect.
