Money being no object, what would be the best sounding small
bedroom/practice amp for an absolute beginner?

Interested in playing mainly Rock/Metal, not so much Jazz or Blues
right now.

Thanks!

You want solid state or tube?

You want to be able to turn it up loud when everyone is out?
How loud?

There are so many options and you don't need to spend a lot.

Money being no object I would get a Marshall TSL or a Mesa.
Some of the Mesas can be switched to low wattage. (5:25, 5:50)
However, those are big money and you won't be capable of getting much
out of them for quite a while unless you are really dedicated to the
point of obsessiveness.

My son has a Peavey Classic 30 and uses a Dimebag Distortion pedal for
metal. He's been playing just over a year but puts in some 6-8 hours a
day.
He's obsessive.

I think you could do worse than a used Peavey Bandit or Fender Stage.
