get an EVH 5150 amp, if you have the money.

And the sound comes from the pickup too, so buy a "metal" pickup.

I'd tell you to look into tube amps, but seems you are on a budget. Is this the first amp you are buying? IMO, IF you have the money go with the front man, honestly it's the most powerful. IT does not have as many built in effects as the Line 6 or mustang, which are digital, but it does have a more unique tone and when combined wit some fx peds can sound really nice. I don't really like nor ever owned Line6 but I have friends who own, they are decent amps. GOod for beginners I guess.The built in effects combined with express pedals can give you a pretty nice gritty sound. better for metal and punk, i'd say the mustang is better for rock or blues.
