The newer ones have a little heavier tone than the older ones.That said, no amp is for everyone, so no big deal if you didn't like it.One of my favorite amps ever is a regular old 5150, so I dig the heavies too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members shane159 Posted January 2, 2013 Members Share Posted January 2, 2013 OP, have you played a Nitro? I am loving the 2010 model I just got. It is massive sounding, and does heavy tones very well. It even blows my FJA 5150 out of the water and that has been my main metal amp for years, but it is just so much bigger sounding and very articulate.

Haven't played a Nitro, but thanks for bringing that idea to the table. I found Drew's demo of his Nitro, and its definitely a contender. Sounds damn good from those vids.Bryan, let me know when you and Misle want me to come over to demo that Ecstasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tech21man Posted January 2, 2013 Members Share Posted January 2, 2013 How about the VHT sig:X and/or ultra lead? There are tons of cool amps out there but if you are set on the XTC then that is what I would get if its thing is the no1 trick you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
