Hot Rod Deluxe can be great... with a mod.
There are TONS of amps out there.
I have a DR Z Z28 – killer. Dr Z make great, affordable booteek amps. Very touch responsive, very organic, and perfect pedal platforms. Start with a great clean then add pedals for all gain needs (slight hair/breakup, rhythm overdrive, all the way up to metal if you so choose).
I'd start there.
But that's not all there is: Bad Cat, Top Hat, Splawn, Germino, Fuchs, Two Rock, Valvetech, VHT... each has their own mojo. You just need to know what you want, and then you can explore builders that seem to make the products that suit your needs. Hell, a Mesa Mark IV might be just what you need... there are literally tens of thousands of amps and amp/speaker configurations out there.
SRV? Guns and Roses? AC/DC? U2? Lamb of God? What sort of tones are you looking for?
