I definitely think the Blackstar is worth looking into. If I played heavier styles of music, and didn't just get the Blackheart amp, I'd give this a serious look.
I've heard nothing but raves about the Blackstar, and for the price and reputation of the company, I think it's one of the best deals on the market right now.
