Most of these emo/screamo/whatever bands are using old Marshall JMP's(70's?), Marshall JCM's, or Orange. If you want more of a rock/metal sound like the new Story of the Year album, a 5150 is what you're looking for. I don't see many Mesa amps anymore, though....

Keep in mind that on their records a lot of these bands are using different amps for different parts and are also blending amps together....plus a lot of these bands sound like crap live. My vote would be to toss the Digitech and forget any kind of amp modeler and just get a nice amp.
