Torn between the Shiva 20th ann and xtacy 20th. Which is best for Rush, Van halen and Metallica. I can't try before I buy, and clips only show so much.
Opinions please.
 
While the XTC (I have a 101B) can get pretty heavy tones and I doubt it'd have any problems getting close to Vah Halen, it wouldn't be my first choice for Metallica. While the 20th Shiva (I also a 20th Shiva) can easily do Metallica, and many, many 80s tones, it wouldn't be my first choice for Van Halen.

For all of those tones in one amp, I'd take a look at the Helios Eclipse. I think the XTC, the original Shiva, and the original Helios could cover all of those sounds, too, but would need a good boost for the Metallica stuff.


Anyway, JMHO, FWIW. :)
