| __________________________________ [Mar 31,2005 1:36pm - litacore ""] no JCM900 mod2100 fucktards indeed |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 31,2005 1:46pm - handinjury ""] WHAT??? NO METAL ZONE?????? |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 31,2005 1:54pm - largefreakatzero ""] My Line 6 made the gay list -- sweeeeet. |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 31,2005 3:26pm - Aegathis nli ""] Whats the Marshall vs8100 like? is that pretty much the same as Rons amp ? |
| __________________________________ [Mar 31,2005 5:44pm - Kalopsia ""] why are you reading mainstream magazines about metal to begin with? isn't that the same magazine that said Munky and Head from Korn were 2 of the 50 best guitarists in metal? |
| ______________________________ [Mar 31,2005 6:09pm - Blue ""] there is no reason for the hd-147 to be on that list. and the triple recto shouldnt be so high on there either. they totally ignored the boutique industry all together with the exception of the bogner. |
| _________________________________ [Mar 31,2005 7:47pm - Paulll ""] The peavey XXX wtf? no 5150???. Triple rec wtf??? I can see the JCM 800 the first models when cranked had SICK tone. The triple rec is overrated WAY overrated and the newer 5150 and 5150 II models. the EVH series of 5150 are probably one of the most brutal heads ever though. This list needs to be seriously revised. |
| __________________________________ [May 28,2006 1:38am - Drakine ""] Hughes all the way!!!!!!!! |
| ________________________________ [May 28,2006 9:49am - Ryan_M ""] i didn't know there were "metal" amps. |
| _____________________________________ [May 28,2006 10:42am - Kinslayer ""] Worst list ever. |
| ______________________________________ [May 28,2006 11:43am - George nli ""] i prefer the peavy butcher pratice amp with my metal master pedal |
| ___________________________________ [May 28,2006 12:36pm - sinistas ""] Since Tony Iommi IS metal, Laney should be on this list. |
| _____________________________________ [May 29,2006 12:10am - anonymous ""] Bogner Überschall i remember red tide used those and i think so did bloodhasbenshed. i think they are like waaaaaaaaay overpriced but ok, they did sound insanley good. i wish i was rich. |
| _____________________________________ [May 29,2006 12:51am - LtdEc-1000 ""] largefreakatzero said:My Line 6 made the gay list -- sweeeeet. Same here. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 19,2007 10:29am - anonymous ""] wtf!!!!! where is engl,krank, diezel and framus!!!!, fortunately vht and bogner are on the list!!!!!!! |

| _______________________________________ [Oct 19,2007 12:51pm - BlackoutRick ""] The 6505 replaced the 5150. The 5150 hasn't been around for a couple of years.....I think. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 19,2007 1:07pm - kkkramer ""] obviously the mesa triple rec is the best. Name something better |
| __________________________________ [Oct 19,2007 1:27pm - brian_dc ""] ...hmm...better than a triple rec...how about...gee...pretty much everything |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 19,2007 1:31pm - kkkramer ""] solid state amps also blow. you are just upset because you can't afford the triple rec. tube amps>solid stateX100 |
| __________________________________ [Oct 19,2007 1:36pm - brian_dc ""] I have an ENGL Powerball and a Mesa Dual Rectifier money ain't a thang, man. Mesa is good for hardcore, grind, rock...not metal so much. I haven't owned a solid state in 5 years |
| __________________________________ [Oct 19,2007 1:37pm - brian_dc ""] also, the clean tone on the rectifier is very nice...full bodied...good stuff. The triple rec is silly though. I wish my dual was a single, actually. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 19,2007 1:41pm - sinistas ""] We've used Dual Recs in the studio with good results. However, it's certainly not the be-all, end-all. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 19,2007 1:42pm - brian_dc ""] it's great for anything that has a lot of intricate open distorted chords, or just needs that raw buzz. I find that it's difficult to get a focused sound out of them. We used my recto in the studio to do all of our clean stuff. Also the third channel is overused, second channel is a much more diverse channel. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 19,2007 1:45pm - Blue ""] not all rectifiers are created equal. there are many a shitty ones out there. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 19,2007 1:48pm - rilly ""] killswitch uses triple recs and they sound amazing |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 19,2007 2:04pm - xanonymousx ""] killswitch does not use triple recs. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 19,2007 2:06pm - brian_dc ""] yeah, I think they used framus in studio and I feel gay for knowing that |
| ________________________________ [Oct 19,2007 2:13pm - rilly ""] they used to and they sounded amazing. 2 real nasty guitarists in that band that can play just about anything |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 19,2007 2:18pm - xanonymousx ""] maybe its cause adam is a sound guru and can make anyone sound really good with a few clicks of a button... |
| ________________________________ [Oct 19,2007 2:23pm - rilly ""] including you. That band is amazing and I'm proud to be a killswitchster for life. Joe stump made those two guys shred gods/guitar heroes |
| ________________________________ [Oct 19,2007 2:27pm - CMTAIB ""] adam d messaged us the otherday saying that he only wishes he could achieve our sound. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 19,2007 2:28pm - CMTAIB ""] with that said the modded 5150's sound awesome. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 19,2007 2:31pm - rilly ""] yeah right. Like SRV. KSE has got the "tone" you all wish you had but never will. You all would kill to have adam in your band |
| ________________________________ [Oct 19,2007 2:36pm - CMTAIB ""] ok... buddy thats why he invited us to go on tour with them i feel bad because after we play everyone will already be beat from the brutality that we have caused. if you have not seen CMTAIB then.. well you haven't lived. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 19,2007 2:45pm - nick // dys ""] what about KRANKS man!? hahahahaha! pthhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 19,2007 3:26pm - jere nli ""] just did all the tubes in my 5150 and im still having a problem with the tone, just cant seem to pull a sound im happy with, fucking pissing me off! |
| _________________________________________ [Oct 19,2007 3:36pm - Frank Shamrock ""] Am I the only one who prefers the single rectifier over the dual or triple.... probably. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 19,2007 3:38pm - brian_dc ""] actually, I said the same thing in this thread about an hour ago |
| __________________________________ [Oct 19,2007 3:38pm - brian_dc ""] sorry 2 hours ago |
| _________________________________________ [Oct 19,2007 3:43pm - Frank Shamrock ""] oops, sorry. Good to see I'm not alone. I love my single rec. Never played a dual or triple that came close. WAAAY underated. |
| _________________________________________ [Oct 19,2007 3:44pm - Frank Shamrock ""] Actually, I shouldn't say that. A good dual can sound great, too. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 19,2007 4:47pm - jere nli ""] lookin at an engl now but damn thats pricy for a poor fuck like me |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 19,2007 5:25pm - fishatwork ""] I love my MESA and won't play any thing els! and I have tried two differant ENGL heads and FRAMUS, KRANK, 5150, TRPILE X, AND VHT |
