Again dude, Vox. Vox, Vox, Vox. If you are going to be playing punk music you can emulate so many different amp styles. I can tune my amp in and replicate damn near any punk band you can think of.... Crass, Flux of Pink Indians, Dead Kennedys, Subhumans, Aus Rotten, who ever. Plus it has that nice tube amp sound because it is a tube pre-amp. For the money it's quite possibly the most pratical choice. Mlinder hit the nail on the head. You really don't want to gig with a giant stack man. It's a pain in the ace plus you leave that gear in your car before your gig and whamo your a target.
