And The Best Metal Amp is.......?

[PhilTheBeard]

id go 5150 or dual recto

 

[Eduardo Apolonia]

VH4 + 5150 or SLO100 is my favorite combination

 

[Machinated]

This is impossible to answer... Its a matter of taste.. some people like the 5150, other the mesa doble, some the mesa triple.. But since u are looking for something like killswitch i guess u should get a 5150 or a VH4... imo...

this thread makes me think of HCAF

that said, if you want KSE-esque tones, 5150/6505 is the way to go.

recto

 

[P-E]

5150, Savage and Recto for me.

Depends which tone you want, really.

+1 same combo for me, I only have a 5150, Recto is next on my list, and then a Savage

oh I can dream!

I'm in love with the ENGL Savage 120.
2ch Dual Rect kicks ass as well.

Apparently, I'm not a fan of the 6505 or the 5150. But then again, could be because of Revalver 'cause I've never played with a real one.

 

[Metaltastic]

Trem-o-verb is for all intents and purposes a 2 Ch. Dual Rec btw, just in case you didn't know!

COMPLETELY different things. The 6505 emulation in Revalver sounds nothing like the real thing at all.

+a billion. That's like saying you don't like the bmw M3 b/c you don't like the way they handle in Gran Turismo on your ps3.

I've owned both.....fairly differnt sounding. The cleans are both different and the Dual is more aggressive even though I don't like DR's.


Tremoverb is actually a more toneful amp. Wouldn't use it for over the top metal but it would crush the DR at everything else.

 

[Shredfiend]

btw, I like many of those amps, and I dig 5150's.
But I'd take my UL over all of those amps listed.

 

[Exharvester]

actually, all the Trem-O-Verb needs is an OD in the front to push it and you get as over the top as you need for metal.

more than likely, but in and of itself it's not really that agressive, not for metal. Plenty saturated and thick, a little smother. Like I said, I think it's easily a btter amp than the dual and triple......I've owned all of these 3 amps aswell, over the last 15 years or so.

 

[ballstix]

ENGL Invader sounds really nice from what I've heard.

A billion???
A trillion! I may say.
Revalver 6505 means this: shitty stupid tone lol
It sounds like shit to me all controls are not like the real deal

 

[Harry Hughes]

The Trem- O - Verbs are real nice, although I've only played them once, but I was impressed certainly.
