777's Favourite Amps thread.

Scoop_89 · 11-18-2008, 04:52 AM

I like ENGL very much at the moment but if I were to use something else I'm pretty sure it would be Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier. I wanna crawl in and live inside one of those

Speedy · 11-25-2008, 05:00 AM

For Metal category, I'd say:

1. ENGL Savage
2. Mesa Boogie Dual Recto(3ch)
3. ENGL Fireball
4. Peavey 6505+

Mesa was better than Savage in overall, because Savage is so brutal, and you can get different tunes out of the Recto

Lets see if my opinion changes, because I just made a deal of VHT Ultra Lead last night

I love seeing my new amp in the list! Very versatile and it does metal.

My Vote goes toooooo:

1. Mesa Boogie Mark4
2. ENGL SE
3. Diezel VH4S
4. Bogner Ecstacy
5. ENGL Powerball

If I look at it, I can say all of the amps are incredible. But all the amps have a different gain-structure, so there is nothing "better".

Overall and Metal I'm adding Engl SE to the top of my list over my ex-UL now that I have it and played it enough to safely say so.

It seems like the Engl SE should be on the list somewhere by now, no?

VHT just bumped ahead of all the other great amps! God damn it! It is so aggressive, and I think ENGL Savage just sounds like a little kid compared to UL. The good thing is also that you can get really many different sounds out of that amp from god forsaken throat cutter, to most sensitive "I love you" - things

And most importantly... It has BALLS!

I tend to only look at amps for there overall sound, not just a clean or metal amp. Pretty the Framus Cobra has my dream tone in every category, so it'll take the top in every one

Oh, and did you add a crunch category? That's a pretty important tone to me.

EATyourGUITAR · 05-19-2009, 02:17 PM

overall

1. orange AD30HTC
2. mesa mark IV

clean

1. fuchs lucky 7
2. gibson goldtone
3. mesa rectoverb

home practice

1. zvex nano

the fuchs is like the goldtone. someone said its actually a copy of the schematic. not sure. the recto has a really clean clean but gets bluesy at 10 and 10. the orange AD30 is the best 7,8 string amp out in my opinion. really doesn't miss anything in the low end. its not a AC30 clone. the mark IV is very versatile and just great in every way.

demonkingjj · 06-18-2009, 02:56 PM

Practice/Budget amp suggestion:

Peavey Vypyr 30. Amazing tone at low volumes.
