Played the 5 watter little head guy...5HT or something? Thru an Orange cab. For metal tones, you basically had to max out the lead channel....but it was tight and chunky!!! Surprised me.

Guitarist in my band has the HT-100 head, it's fucking killer. We haven't found a cab that it doesn't sound awesome through yet, even a Marshall MG cab!

I used to own the HT5 combo, and maxing it out was good for metal lead tones, i had to put it at about 2-3 o'clock to get the right amount of distortion for the typical post-thrash tones.
I was there (at Blackstar) last week
checked out almost all their stuff.
Have to say the Series 1 stuff is killer.
That power stage attenuator is the dog's bolox.
The HT serioes is good bang for the buck although I found them a bit muffled-sounding with a weird honk in the mids on the overdrive channel.
Funnily enough... The clean channel does a wonderful AC/DC crunch.... fat and virant. I imagine it takes pedals well .

good amps, but IMO they don't really bring anything new to the table...
got offered an endorsement some time ago, but I decided I don't need it cause it really doesn't do anything that my other amps can't do

Now I have the 5150II and the dual rectifier, I need another amp for the studio work, I you were me Lasse, what would you buy?

(all those offer a nice tonality that you can't achieve with the other amps)
some more cabs
Dude, you don't need clips of a 2203. It's on basically every Slayer record. Also, the guitar tone on Carcass - Necrotosism is a good example of what you can do with a 2203 and a RAT pedal. Also, the Ozzy record - No More Tears (I'm fairly certain) is the 2203 with Boss Super Overdrive.
Ahh... ok, I knew it was somewhere in that era. (OT: I HATE the kick drum on Ozzmosis)
