      There are so many. For metal, the 5150 designs are really the high bar for an accessible metal amp. For everything else, the original Fender Pro Reverb is my favorite without a doubt. Hiwatts and Dumbles are also, OF COURSE, notables as well as the amazing Valco designs branded under Kay, National and Silvertone.

    I grew up with the Bay Area thrash sound. Most of the bands of that era used JCM800s, often boosted with a pedal. You can’t tell me that mid to late 80s thrash bands like Testament, Exodus, Flotsam and Jetsam, Anthrax, etc. didn’t get some of the most brutal tones ever out of those amps. Suicidal Tendencies, Gothic Slam, Wasted Youth, Nuclear Assault. Lääz Rocket, I could go on.

    I run a stereo set up through a Swiss things pedal to 2 amps, my Marshall jcm800 combo 4010 and my Carvin X50B with 4x12 cab. Great full sound!

    Many may laugh but the Peavey Renown of 1984 had a great transistor saturation sound on its lead channel and a clean ‘normal’ channel with 3-way footswitch. In fact when the Bhundu Boys from Zimbabwe were in town they would call me up and borrow my Peavey because the clean channel really suited African music guitar sounds.The lead channel gave a great saturation sound people like ZZ-Top took advantage of. The amp died last year. RIP. Or maybe it will be resurrected . Großartiges video, Dankeschön 😎

    @acmeyakko 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    My amp didn't make the cut, although I don't know if I'd describe anything I play as metal and certainly not death metal. I am currently playing a Mark V:35 through an 80s Mesa Halfback cab which gives me about all the options I need for everything from clean to high gain. One of the top two speakers (the C90/Black Shadow) died on me, so I had to put in a new one, which actually gave me slightly different tone options to mic up to (newish speaker vs. 80s speaker of the same model). These days I actually mic the newer, brighter speaker with a Royer and the older, darker one with a dynamic (Blue 100i). Another amp that missed the cut, but which I think is underrated (but also expensive) is the PRS Archon. I love my Mesa enough that I've resisted adding an Archon to my collection, but I'm often tempted (and probably will eventually).

    Just recorded our bands guitarist with his orange rockerverb for our album and it fits really great! Funny that I described the sound to him like "beautyful creamy distortion". We recorded 2 tracks for both sides each for rhythm guitars pushed with a little tubescreamer to get it a bit tighter in the mids. Had the joy to combine a sm57, md421 and a C414 (I love that one!) to capture a celestian cream speaker. Our music varies from metal to hardcore and punk, so that amp combines all these types of music very nice. And yes, it sings and can combine palm muted riffs with picking and melodies. Cool that you collaborate Warren and Kristian! You bring out great knowledge and your videos are always educating with a lot of entertainment! Thumbs up!

    Fantastic video! Great to hear all these amps in context with each other... it really shows their strengths and weaknesses. I've watched Kristian's videos before, the point he made about the cab being the most important factor really stuck with me - proper real world experience from a guy that does this shit day in day out. As a 2 channel triple rec owner the contrast between the Mesa and the Diezel was like...whoa...bloody expensive kit but amazing...maybe if I can get better at recording I could own all of them someday :)

    The problem with the JCM2000 is that the PCB that the power tubes are mounted on to can slowly turn conductive over time and then you blow the power transformer and they're about 100quid to replace alone, you can pick the amps up for not that much more. It's a factory problem and there's no predicting it, unfortunately. At that point, the only way to save it is to replace the power transformer and either have the board replaced (not sure of the price of replacements), or have it repaired...and that can be quite costly as it's pretty extensive, I know, as I had to do this to my own JCM2000 and have done it for others
    Fucking great amp, though. Can pick them up really cheap and honestly, great bang for the buck.

    I own a VHT 2/90/2 with a VHT GP3, it's absolutely killer. Even with little distortion you still have a brutal sound with punchy attack and it's the cleanest sound I've ever heard, it's just the same thing as playing an acoustic guitar, you really hear everything you do unlike other amps that hide all subtility behind tons of fizz and hiss. Underestimated brand.
    I always think about this amp like an american truck sound vs sport cars sound (rectifier etc).

    @SpartanLaserCanon 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    For home use with bigger amps, I recommend a volume pedal. A good volume pedal will keep your tone the same, but at lower volumes. Now that I found out how much volume can be reduced with one, I am no longer scared of how loud a bigger tube amp will be in my house. I will use a 2x12 Cab which is all you need for only small and medium sized gigs and if you are on a mic at bigger shows than you will be able to get enough volume anyways. As to 4x12s sounding fuller, in a band mix I don't want too much bass anyways.

    Okay, so I'm looking for a bit of advice from those of you guitarists who are in the loop. I've played in a number of metal bands throughout the late 1980s through the 1990s, then life took over, family, kids, etc... I used to own a 50 watt Marshall JCM800, and couldn't begin to count how many live shows I put that amp through. That same amp head also served as my practice amp. Eventually I had to pawn that amp for money, and have been seriously considering psychological therapy ever since just to find out WTF I was thinking! Anyway, I'm now at 55 years old and embarking on my mid life crisis, and want to get into another band. Either that or go out and get a 19 year old girlfriend, but my wife seems to think getting back into a band might be the better option. However, the only amp I own now is a little Yamaha practice amp, definitely not suitable for anything other than practicing alone and recording. Amps have come a long long way since I've been out of the loop, so I'm looking for some advice as I shop for a new amp head to be able to play live with a band. I'm looking to be able to go from an AC/DC sound to a more modern metal tight low end sound like Five Finger Death Punch, and a few sounds in between. Any advice on such an amp head? Or does such an amp not exist?
