Favorite brand of amp ?

Old Crate with Celestion speakers were awesome for distortion and clean.

I'm playing through Marshall and Crate, both, now, trying to create an ultimate Doom sound.

Hi bro, IMO the only fender that gives good high gain sound for metal riffing/ solos is the Tone Master but this comes in a head version. other fenders simply begs you to play it clean/ slightly overdriven...

My peavey sounds good with all my Ibanezs. you have a combo/ stack in mind?

I play a Marshall. It's alright. I'd really like a Mesa Dual Rectifier, though. Those things rule.

You'll only know it when you hear it. Take your guitar to the Music store and plug in until you find one. Hopefully, you've got a store nearby. Good luck!

i suppose i would consider a stack combination which ones would you recommend

If you can get a speaker stack with Celestion speakers, they are awesome. Several manufacturer's over the years worked with them. I don't know if any still do, but if you have the chance to play any head like Marshall, Crate, or anybody else you find you like their distortion through a Celestion speaker stack, then you'll know. LOL, IMO.

hey NE- yup. take your guitar down to your dealer's and try out as many units as you can (without pissing off you dealer that is... )

anyway, i seriously don't know if british amps/ tone is what you are after. since you live in where they are made, maybe the price would be more preferable... most people would start with marshall, but i tried those & gave them a pass... that's before the re-issue JCM 800 debuted so you might do well to check that out first...

the other thing is, check out Conford amps. i've heard demos of these & they are very good for high gain stuff! i think they did well not to have EL34 tubes in there (unlike the other 2 main brit amp brand: Marshall & Laney).

otherwise check out other high gain units:
*Crate: Blue Voodoo
*Peavey: Triple XXX/ XXL (solid state)/ 5150
*VHT pitbull
*Mesa Boogie (any recto model)
*Soldano (what i aspire to own but this is way too expensive!!!)
*ENGL
