Head for hardcore

Whats a good cheap amp for hardcore I have about 300-400 dollars to spend.. What are some good suggestions? I have been looking at the Crate Blue Voodoo and the Vox AD100VTH. Is the vox good for hardcore? Ive also been looking at the Peavey XXL. Thanks for the replies

The Peavey 5150 is probably on most of the albums you like.

It'll probably work. You might want to look into Sovtek or old Laney AOR Pro Tube amps.

the crate can do it... but the 5150' & 6505's(exact same amp different name) is the amp of choice for most hardcore bands and they go for only $500-600 used.

get a tube amp (marshall jcm 800/900/2000, framus cobra, crate BV, peavey 5150/6505)... put the gain to about 11 or 1 oclock (depending on amp and volume). If its an orange, fender or vox... put a maxon od-808 infront of it. Tubes are essential!

well, I'd say some immature emotional development coupled with anti-social anxiety disorder. Maybe a little manic-depressive would help too.

I don't know. Is it? Is it in your price range? Do you like how it sounds? If yes: Buy it.

One of the guys in My Chemical Romance uses the crate bv 300... if thats what you mean by hardcore... probably uses one of the low gain channels... with the gain knob set pretty low..
