I am looking for a good practice amp at home. I played the Peavy Vypyr 75 watt amp and liked it. I like to play metal and hard rock. My wife is about to start learning and most likely going to play lighter rock. I also have 14 daughter that is playing guitar and plays more rock like Bowie. So is the Vypyr 75 the best choice or should I look at Line 6 Spider 75 amp. Is there another amp that I have not mentioned that would be a good choice.

Thank you

While there are many good modeling amps available to choose from, I do think the peavey vypyr is a great choice. I once owned a 15w vypyr and a 15w line 6 and (IMO) the vypyr sounded better.

Hi,
I own a marshall AVT150X, and it has never deceived me. It still depends on your budget, I bought it about a few years ago and it costed me about 900$ (it was on sale). If you have that budget I highly recommend it for every rock and metal people, from accoustic simulation to the scooped hi gain channel, this amp sound great ! I practice with it all the time.
