Whats up everyone. I havn't been on the forum in a really long time, but it looks really good from what I've seen. Anyways, I've been looking for a new amp, been doing alot of research, and I've come up with a possible list. I thought I'd get some of the gear inclined people on hear to give me suggestions. Hear they are:
ENGL Powerball ENGL Fireball LANEY Vh100r Laney GH100L I'm looking for a really, really heavy amp that will be great for metal. So far I've been most impressed with the powerball, but it also has the highest pricetag. I also think that the gh100l would be great, but I'd probably have to boost it to get the sound I want. Both companies also have some amazing artists endorsed. ENGL: Iced Earth, Necrophagist, Marty Friedman, Nevermore. Laney: Opeth, Toni Iommi, Arch enemy. I've also heard that Mesa Boogie makes awesome amps (john Petrucci). But just give me your oppinions, thanks -------------------- "Remember to live, eat, sleep and breathe music for the mind, play from your heart and never be swayed by the current trends"- Rusty Cooley My gear: Marshall Valvstate Digitech Distortion Factory Jackson RR24 (Randy Rhoads) Ibanez RG2550e A ripoff brand acoustic guitar and a Yamaha Classical guitar :) |

Concidering that German and UK amps seem to be more expensive in the US - IMO - you'd probably be better off getting a Peavey XXX. Get more gain that mankind will ever need while saving a buck at the same time.

I'd probably go for the Engl Powerball of those 4. However check it out against a Mesa Triple and, if you can find them, Framus Cobra or Dragon.

Although it sounds like fun to pick amps at random I suggest you pick the one you like the most
