Hey!
Today, I've bought my first Fractal product, an AX8!
I'm very new to the world of modeling and Fractal audio systems, and I'm now thinking which poweramp to get. I know that this topic has been discussed before, but all threads seem to be quite old, and I think that there is a lot more experience with the SD powerstage since then.
At the moment, I mostly play at home, but I'm planning on joining a band very soon. I mainly play metal(core) and hardrock. At home, I have (and love) a Bogner 2x12 V30 cab.
I'm considering the following options:
I'd like to have enough power for live performances. Portability is also an import factor for me.
Cost is a factor, however I'd be happy to spend more money if the sound justifies the cost. I'd hate to see my investment in the ax8 wasted by a cheap poweramp.
Thanks in advance!

I'm considering the following options:
- Rocktron Velocity 300 used for €180
- Electro-harmonix Magnum 44 new for €154
- Seymour Duncan powerstage new for €359
- FRFR cab
- Matrix GT1000
