i have seen a few bands with the 6505+/vader 4 12 setup live and they always sounded amazing. as a matter of fact the first time i ever heard vader cabs was with a 6505+.

cool I need one now, thanks

regarding the bands you mentioned, i'd get a dual rec. With a TS in front, you can definitely get a nice thick and raw nevermore-like tone out of it. Though, recto's are a bitch to dial in properly and don't sound particularly good at lower volumes.

hm... which albums do you mean? afaik, 'dead hearth in a dead world', 'enemies of reality' is all dual rec and triple rec, respectively. 'This godless endeavor' is a dual rec and a krank rev. I've got this from the sneap forum, so i guess it's accurate. Nonetheless, there's pics of jeff in the studio next to a peavey XXX (along a racktifier, 5150 and jcm, also)

I really

my fireball, but i think it's still not as raw and thick sounding as a recto. I like the fireball BY FAR over the powerball. The powerball is the less raw and more processed sounding out of the two. I think the fireball/powerball excel at single-note riffery at lower tunings and extremely tight palm-muting (think meshuggah, textures), since they are very tight and articulate.
They're too metallic-sounding (or djenty) for getting that raw, thick sound like on the aforementioned nevermore albums, IMO.

For me, Scar symmetry is a good example of what a fireball is capable of.

Chimaira use 6505's. As previously mentioned they might be modded.

6505's are great sounding amps, which can be surprisingly tight with an OD. Much tighter than a Recto. IMO.

Depending on how much yours willing to spend, i would look into ENGL's Fireball/Invader/Savage/Powerball, Soldano SLO100, Splawn Nitro.

ENGL INVADER 100!!!

Well if money is not a problem like you stated then you should check out a Diezel Herbert or a VHT Ultra lead. I have a Mesa dual rec right now but would love to get rid of that for a Diezel or VHT. But as always you cant really go wrong with a Mesa or a 5150/6505 if you wanna keep things a little cheaper.
