Members Rockett Posted February 20, 2012 Members Share Posted February 20, 2012 Peavey 6505? Framus Cobra? Engl Savage? I'm curious since I got invited to play in a thrash metal band and I want an amp that is just brash and mean!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members OverDriven Posted February 20, 2012 Members Share Posted February 20, 2012 6505 or 6505+ is my vote. Amp snobs will tell you they they're buzzy. Trust me, they're not. I've owned enough of the "nicer" amps to know. They sound great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Johnny'sGotTheBlues Posted February 20, 2012 Members Share Posted February 20, 2012 Isn't one of James Peters' amps pretty raw and aggresive too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nerine Posted February 20, 2012 Members Share Posted February 20, 2012 1987 or 1959 on ten. It's doesn't get any rawer or more aggressive than that. It's an in the room sound that just makes a mockery of your face. So much brutal volume and raw savagery there. I haven't played an amp that has sounded as uncaged as a 1987 at full chat. Keep your 5150zzzzzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members codecontra Posted February 20, 2012 Members Share Posted February 20, 2012 The 6505 plus is a decent amp that's for sure, plus it is a damn steal compared to other high gainers. However, the 5150 is a bit more "raw" sounding IMO and I would probably recommend grabbing one of those used if possible, but either would work. On a side note, the 6505 is insanely loud, like it goes from 0-1,000 with the slightest turn of the volume knob. I sold mine because it was just too much, but I wasn't in a band.

Members Rockett Posted February 20, 2012 Author Members Share Posted February 20, 2012 VHTs are pretty aggressive and raw. I had a D120 and that was indeed aggressive and badass What's the difference between that and the UL you have? Also, what about JCM800's or Mesa Mark series amps? I've heard a lot of talk on here about them being aggressive and raw. I still haven't got to check out that Mark III I was asking you guys about earlier this week. The guy who's selling it is a bit flaky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something about Marshall full stacks, long hair and wildly flailing picking hands just goes together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guidedbyechoes Posted February 20, 2012 Members Share Posted February 20, 2012 rivera ktre, ampeg vh140, and krank revolution come to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rockett Posted February 20, 2012 Author Members Share Posted February 20, 2012 rivera ktre, ampeg vh140, and krank revolution come to mind. The Ampeg is a cool amp. If I were to go solid state it would be another Randall. Kranks have way too much sizzle for me. It seems like you have to dial them in a certain way for them to sound good. I like to sound good with multiple EQ settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wizard of Ozz Posted February 20, 2012 Members Share Posted February 20, 2012 VHT/Fryette Ultra-Lead. It's about as raw, open, uncompressed and super aggressive as it gets. Works incredibly for thrash as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members les_paul Posted February 20, 2012 Members Share Posted February 20, 2012 For a raw, aggressive sound I'd say the JCM800. The 5150 series doesn't really strike me as raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JerEvil Posted February 20, 2012 Members Share Posted February 20, 2012 If price is not an issue, I'd say UltraLead, Peters Chimera or maybe Baron K88. If you are being thrifty go 6505 or Triple XXX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy who's selling it is a bit flaky The Mark IIC+ and III are aggressive and raw. The IV and V are smoother. I love Mark amps, but if I were in your shoes, I'd go with a 5150 over a Mark.
