Members takedeepbreaths Posted April 12, 2006 Members Share Posted April 12, 2006 LOL where did you read that???They don't get talked about much here... try doing a search. From what I've heard from others, they are pretty good. I don't know about the best metal amp ever though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members takedeepbreaths Posted April 12, 2006 Members Share Posted April 12, 2006 Oh... well of course H&K would say that about their own product. What amp(s) are you playing now? I haven't played any H&K stuff myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what else are you looking at? What kind of metal sound are you going for? A lot of people seem to think the H&K stuff is over priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scooped-mids Posted April 13, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 13, 2006 im looking at a 60 watt crate blue voodoo or perhaps peavey ultra right now. id like a nice clean and pretty decent heavy distortion and then i'll color it with some delay and wah as well as my trusty dod 308 overdrive.

Members Evan666 Posted April 13, 2006 Members Share Posted April 13, 2006 the warp x is a bad ass head, but if you want a full rig get the switchblade, sounds amazing, with built in effects, and a midi board so you can set everything up for a live show. around 1400 bucks I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to pimp the {censored}e that I use, but I will anyway. If you are looking for a good two channel head at a good price then check out the Boogie Single Recto. You can pick up a used one for less than $1,000 and they are well worth it. Solid construction and what I consider to be the best tone of all the Recto amps. Match it up with a good quality 2x12 or 4x12 cab and you`ll have a killer set up. I`ve never played through a Warp X, but I think there is a good reason why you don`t ever hear anything about them. If it was a good amp it would have been hyped all over this board by now and it hasn`t been. These guys go through a lot of amps and I havn`t seen one come through here yet. Eric P.S.- If you are interested in a good three channel head then you could pick up a used Peavey JSX. They are pretty darn good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pink freud Posted April 13, 2006 Members Share Posted April 13, 2006 Originally posted by BAZGUITARMAN These guys go through a lot of amps and I havn`t seen one come through here yet. thats not true. i remember when everybody on this board was saying that splawns were only good for 80's metal. and there was a time when the general concensus was that peavey XXX's were some of the worst amps made. the more probable reasons why we dont here about much H&K products is their price and their availability. the few people who have played them/ own them seem to love the products.

No I don`t mean H&K amps in general. I was specifically talking about the Warp X. Which I believe is pretty reasonably priced brand new.

Members pink freud Posted April 13, 2006 Members Share Posted April 13, 2006 yeah it is.i want one.if i had the money, i would drop it on one based purely on the clips on the site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gafyagaton Posted April 13, 2006 Members Share Posted April 13, 2006 My bud uses that with his band and had it in my basement for a while. I hadnt had that much fun with an amp in a long time. Its an awesome amp. It has its own signature voice and there is not one amp out there i can say it sounds like. I had planned to buy it but once i saved up the money, gas guilt set in and I pulled back from the order form. I still cant decide between it and an engl fireball or VHT amp. Paul Crook uses one.

Members nwright Posted April 13, 2006 Members Share Posted April 13, 2006 I've played one numerous times and I dig it. Really compressed, though. I wonder if that would get old. I think they are 1500-1700 new, though, which I think is steep. I've seen them used for around a grand. If I had the spare cash, I'd get one. To me, they are reminiscent of a Krank Revolution. Not exactly the same tones, but in the ballpark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sordid1 Posted April 13, 2006 Members Share Posted April 13, 2006 The warp X is a great sounding head and the H and K trilogy is awesome as well. it's a little more expensive but it's four channels which is nice and to me the lead channel was more organic sounding.

Members MuCkO Posted April 13, 2006 Members Share Posted April 13, 2006 I had one for a few months and didn't like it all. Great clean tones, but i didn't dig the high gain tones. I had the Warp- T half stack (it's the same as the Warp X, but it come with a cab). I switched cabs, using a Diezel (v30) and a Marshall 1960 cab. It sounded a bit better with the diezel cab and a EQ in the loop, but I sold it and got me a 5150 that smoked the H&K imo. The only H&K i've ever played and liked was the Triamp II. So you can seen tone is subjective... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
