Marshall half stack VS. Crate half stack
If I were to buy a new rig specifically for a downtuned 7 string, which of these would be a better choice? I'm also using a Metal Zone pedal for distortion so I'm not concerned about what the built-in distortions are like.

Ditch the Metal Zone.
 Between those 3, I'd go for the Marshall. However, I would search out a used MG100RCD or an even older Valvestate. They blow away the new Marshall HDFX & the Crates. And avoid those cheap 4x12 cabs at all costs. For all 3 of those 1/2 stacks, they spent most the cash on the heads & then coupled them with seriously shitty 4x12 cabs. Take this advice from a well-known gear whore.  |

I haven't played the crate ones but I can tell you the Marshalls are terrible.
I'm not a huge fan of them, but the B-52 stuff is way better than those.

I've heard these stack combos aren't the greatest.
My experience with stacks is novice. I've been using a standard Peavy 150 amp for years now and it's falling apart and I figured I might as well move onto the world of half stacks once I upgrade. It's just that I'm also looking to spend about $700 on a new guitar shortly and I'm on a tight budget. Any suggestions for building an affordable stack? |

About the Vox Valvetronix AD100VTH...is this tube powered?
And in the link you provided, it also featured the V412BK cab. Would you recommend the cab as well? |

There's a single tube pre-amp.
Check the website : http://www.voxamps.co.uk/ There's not many reviews on the cabs tough, 'cause they're pretty "new". I don't have a clue if they're really good. For sure there is better cabs out there. But hey, it's also a question of $ http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/gear-and-equipment/17875-vox-valvetronix-head-cab.html |
