Just bought a Jackson SL5X Soloist. First guitar I've bought in almost 20 years. What would be a nice practice amp for a small house? Don't need anything overly loud or powerful (kbin.social)

Had a deal I couldn't refuse on a chuggy chuggy shreddy guitar. Need an decent practice amp. I'll definitely be playing some clean stuff or very little over drive stuff of my favorite 90s songs. But obviously the guitar is a thrash animal and that is my favorite shit, so what tiny amp combo can at least put out something remotely close to heavy? Price range is $250 used or less

If you have a cab already I like the 6505mh and DSL1 mini heads. The 6505MH is a high gain beast. Cleans are usable but nothing special.

DSL1 benifits from a boost for metal tones imo. Cleans are decent. delay/reverb sounds good through the fx loop

Jet City combos can be cheap. Some of those amps are Soldano inspired. Sound pretty heavy but can be best to boost with an OD pedal.

Then there are modelers like the katana. It's well regarded and is very versatile will chug for days. Might be able to get one for that price if your lucky
