im looking for a good cheap tube amp with a good distortion to it with a nice tight end. ive heard laneys are good and cheap but ive also been looking at a 5150 peavy. i love the sounds of mesas but dont have the money for them so what is the closest i might get to a mesa or just a good quality sound period. i play things like metallica and heavy metal if that helps.

thanx,
