Ok I know that I asked for advice on amps before but I have another question. I can get a good deal on a Carvin MTS 3200 head. How do these amps compare to other tube amps? If anyone knows, How is the clean on them? ANd how is the overdrive? Any help is appreciated.

Make sure it's the sound you like before you buy! They make good stuff though.

Anyone know anything about Randall amps? They seem like they are used more for metal instead of the alternative sound (nirvana, pearl jam, pumpkins) I'm looking for although I do like to play some metal every now and then like metallica.
Go to user reviews, and see what people have to say about different stuff.
Be careful, though... A Peavey 5150 will get great reviews, but they'll be from metal heads playing Jackson guitars and praising their Zoom multi-FX pedal. Just because a few folks think an amp sounds good to them don't mean it'll sound good to you.
Most of the early Pearl Jam stuff, most of Nirvana, and most of the Pumpkins were Marshall half- and full-stacks. If you want the classic grunge sound, buy a used corduroy jacket and an old Marshall.
The newer solid state Marshalls aren't bad... not great, but sufficient. And if you get the half-stack, you can eventually replace the head with a good tube head and keep the old solid-state as a back-up.
As always: TRY BEFORE YOU BUY!
