ive been looking at rocktron preamps, the maxe, and the piranha. anyone have info on how htey are, and which would be best for D tuned guitars, for old school death metal, like Obituary, lr for thrash, like mid megadeth or earlier metallica? what would be the best amp for for those sounds too? i have a marshall jcm 900 slx 100 watt head. i guessi am looking for the ultimate old school or new metal amp, for detuend death, or high gain speed. ive read baout the marshall mode 4, but am wonderin is thier someting better out their, but not as pricy? perhaos mesa boogie, soldano, egnater, hughes? ive listened t downloads of soldano, hughes and kustom ammpos didnt like it,. to me, nothing beats that marshall crucnh, it waht i am used too. how about the peavey 5150 or triple xxx? i recenlty played a peavey triple xx, man that thing rocks! you can swith it too 3 different wattages. but seems to me, someting tone wise is missing form it. ive been trying to de resaerch on marshall jcm 2000dsl, but form musiciansdfriend.com it soudned like crap. think the 2000 dsl does have masive gain? i like marshall amps, basically because they have master volume. i live in residential area, and love to have volume cranked but needs to be at acceptabel levels, giving that amp a good full sound. oh! should i then stay witha 50 or 100 watt? would a 50 watt lack as much tone than a 100 head? i played an mg series recently too, i lied it! but it does lack that tube tone.
thanks all

I went through that a few years back.... you'll never find what you hear in your head as the perfect tone. If I had the cash to drop on what I consider to be the "almost" perfect metal amp I'd get a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier.
