I'm ordering a 4x12 Avatar cab, loaded with V-30's next week, and I'm wondering what you guys think would be the best power amp to choose. I dont want to spend over $400 on the power amp. The reason I'm getting the power amp is to go the amp modeling route, and use my pod hd pro live. thanks!
Best power amp to pari up with my cab?

You want rackmount or an actual head? The 5150/6505 series poweramps are brutal, and you can get one in a Peavey Windsor, within your budget. Rackmount wise you could always look at the Carvin TS100, but that is just a hair out of your budget.
Personally I really wouldn't recommend getting a Solid State power amp for a modeling preamp, tonally speaking, a tube power amp will help pump life into the digital modeling, solid state amps sound stale and undynamic by nature, you wouldn't want to add more of that to the mix.
FWIW, I have an Avatar G412 w/ V30s and a 5150, will be getting an AxeFx in the future for some modeling as well.
