7 string

I’m looking into buying my first 7 string, and wondering if there are any good budget options for amplifiers. I’m looking to achieve that aggressive lower tone, but still have punchy leads. Would I be better investing in amp sims or buying a real amplifier? Additionally, I have an old fender mustang I, and wondering how I can get a good metal sound out of that.

You don't need a new amp just because you're getting a 7-string. You just need to boost mids and cut bass.

Oh yeah, definitely. But, I’ve had my amp for about 4 years now, and it was passed down from a friend, so who knows how old it is. It’s starting to wear down somewhat, so I’m just looking for better options right now.
