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.

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).

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.

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!

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?

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.

Some awesome amps there, really wouldn't complain about having any one of em! I've been playing through a Mesa Dual Rec Roadster for the last 12 years. The 4 channels are what keeps me playing it, lots of versatility. That being said I'm super impressed with the latest EVH 5150 iii, Peavy Invective 120, and the Mark V. One of these days im going to add one of them to my arsenal. Im definitely jealous of the cats with multiple heads and cabs to choose from haha.
@davbyrne784 жыл бұрын
The glaring omissions here are the Peavey 5150 (in all its forms) the Mesa Mark IV (V as well) and the Soldano SLO-100 (which is basically a Dual Rec). I also VERY highly rate the ancient Peavey Century (solid state, absolutely CRUSHING brutal old school death metal sounds - before it even existed, somehow - from circa 1980)
@fredriksvard26034 жыл бұрын
Yes, or the Petrucci mesa. Peavey JSX is the most underrated one of all time, and the prs tremonti the most overrated. Also, marshall silver, marshall valvestate, engl fireball, engl savage, HK grandmeister, Peavey invective. But if i ever got a real amp again itd be EVH 50w stealth.

Guilty as charged about the impulse responses. When I first got a digital pre-amp pedal and compared its cab simulation against plugging it in the back of many different power amp/cab combinations, I realized how important the cab is.

Great video man, but you missed the king of all High gain Amps; The Revv Generator 120w MIII. I’ve played through every head in this video (other than the driftwood) and even own a few of them, and nothing even comes close to the REVV. But that’s just my opinion, man. Good video dude!

I KNEW IT, That pedal is on my to do list. Right now it's not in the budget but I know that I had made a mention to the HM2, and that grindy chainsaw distortion on one of his videos and he pointed me to it, so when he did the "You'll have to guess". I'm going "It's a punchier, slightly clearer HM2, Gotta be his Grindstein". One of very few pedals that every time I hear it I go I WANT! lol

The only amps you will ever need are Mesa Boogie Mark V, Peavey 6505 or EVH 5150 and if you have spare money to spend, Dual Rect! The Mark V for me is the perfect amp! Beautiful cleans and amazing distortion, the only thing that isn't perfect (at least in Europe) is the price! Especially with the pound devalueing the way it is!

The Soldano SLO100 is the godfather of them all. The Mesa Dual rec and the 5150 are their takes of the SLO circuit with very small tweaks. Surprised that you don't mention it.
