Need help choosing the right amp

Well I'm a newbie

and want to play some heavy stuff like trash.
Now I need to choose which amp to get.
Whitch one is better:
Laney MXD120 twin: http://www.laney.co.uk/html/product.../mxd120twin.htm
or
Randall RG100SC: http://www.randallamplifiers.com/pr...s/rg100scg2.asp

I can get them for the same price so which one should I choose?

Please help me

Agreed.

Randall has a good reputation for building affordable, high-quality solid-state amplifiers. If I'm not mistaken, this Laney solid-state does'nt even have a reputation of any sorts yet.

I tried out the 100 watt randall at the guitar shop and it has some good sounds. It has a very good clean sound and 2 gains. 1 gain is just normal overdrive but gain 2 is pretty impressive. It sort of sounds like the early stuff from dying fetus when you adjust the eq right. It also has a booster and chorus effect. I would go for the randall, it's Definitely worth the money. But that's my opinion.

The other amp i'm not familliar with. Never heard of it.
