Keep in mind that this thread does not indicate what is the best amp, only what the favourite amp is from the people who have voted.

Not enough people have voted and this thread does not really represent a broad enough range of opinion yet.

Going from the results so far the 5150 is killing all of the competition and that might indicate that the best option is also one of the least expensive or it might indicate an amp that more people are familiar with because it is cheap.

I created this thread to get an idea of what I should get based on what people with experience thought were the best options for certain categories and yet the rig I am now going to buy has not been mentioned in this thread once. Something I find surprising considering how many people love the Axe FX and have said that they can never see themselves wanting another piece of gear

Metal:
VHT Pitbull UL/Diezel Herbbie (tie for different types of metal)

I'll vote on my fave meeeeeeetttttaaaaaaaalllllllllll amps here:


Metal

1. Peavey 5150/6505
2. Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier (early '90s iteration)
3. Bogner Extacy
4. Line 6 Pod series
5. Marshall JM800 (modded or boosted generally)

IMO all Engl's whoop the shit outta VHT's so why is the SE or the Savage 120 not on there for metal?
Mesa's rock too

wtf is djent?

Engl SE needs to be top on overall, i played my friends and wanted to cry it was so awesome

There are plenty of threads on Djent I'll let you research that one yourself. But basically djent is the phonetically written sound that is a signature part of the sound of certain styles of Metal. The term was coined by Meshuggah and now commonly associated with Bulb.

If you go back and read the 1st post you will see this is an ongoing poll of what ss.org favourite amps are, I can only work off what people vote for and those are the results according to how everybody has voted. As it stands no one has voted for the SE or the Savage in the Metal catagory yet, if you wish to vote for them go back to the first post and read the instructions to vote and I will add the scores to the tally, if they get enough votes to make the top 5 they will be added.

I do agree with you though, the voting in this thread did surprise me.

Wow, There's only 2 mentions on here about Bogner's. I guess that means they might be pretty undesirable. Is it price? Sound? Service?

I'm curious to hear some response on this. Anyone?

It's the sound to me. I think (at least the Uberschall) leaves a lot to be desired. I can't talk about their other amps, as the only thing else I've tried is an Ecstacy, and didn't much enjoy that, either.
