Hey folks wondering if anyone has any experience with either of these amps. Getting back into playing guitar more and money's fairly tight at the moment so I'm kinda leaning towards the Harley Benton (which is basically a re-labeled Epiphone head)

I'm mainly going to be using it at home for some doom/stoner fuzz stuff so wondering which one would handle it better?

Any help/advice is appreciated. Thanks
 
I think everyone is pretty much saying the new blackstar 5 watter is the small amp to buy

yeah, sounds too good to be true, but folk on a few forums are reporting a farting sound when you palm mute and chugg the strings at high gain. i'll be holding off for a while until they get it sorted. and anyway x-music aint got it in yet.
 
Been really happy with my GA5 so far. Made a few tweaks on it and even use it for gigging now with a 2 X 12. They're really great value for money. There's a few sound samples on my uTube page (link below) if you wanna have a listen.
I've heard great things about the Blackstar also but have no personal experience.
