So, not having very much experience with different amps I need some help in figuring out what is going to deliver the sort of tones that I like.
This head is going to be going through a Vader 2x12 fwiw.
And at low(-ish) volumes.
It's probably easiest if I just give you examples the sort of tones that I would like to be able to achieve. (I do know they aren't all necessarily similar)
Hate Eternal - Conquering The Throne/Phoenix Amongst The Ashes
Suffocation - Despise The Sun
Decrepit Birth - Diminishing Between Worlds
Carcass - Necroticism: Descanting The Insalubrious
Nile - In Their Darkest Shrines/Annihilation Of The Wicked
I guess I'm not looking for something ultra modern sounding.
But still something that has plenty of gain.
I was thinking of getting an Engl of some sort (possibly a Powerball II or E530) but am not too sure after listening to some records with them, their high ends always seem a little irritating to my ears.
I have warmed to the idea of possibly getting a JCM800.
Like I say though, I have little experience with different amps, so am basing my opinions on recordings.
