Bad Cat. I've said it time and time again, but the Bad Cat Hot Cat has imho the best sounding heavy-ish dirt of any boutique amp I've ever heard. I doubt I'd use it for metal, but for what you're looking for you'd love it.

That about sums it up -- I was getting some seriously phat-ass tones outta my Hot Cat yesterday. Love that amp.

I've got a Hot Cat 30 on the way that I won from the 'Bay a few days ago.

I'm looking forward to hearing how heavy it can get! The new Cult album convinced me to snag it.

Komet concorde, I base my recomendation soley on this clip...never played one......so take it for what it's worth.......

 

 

Great call on the Komet! That {censored} is pricey, but gooood. My favourite headshell design ever.

 

Can't go wrong with a Shiva, especially the EL34 version. Basically any boutique Marshall clone, as that's pretty much what everyone was using before Korn came along and Mesa'd the whole mainstream music scene up.

hmm, I'm going to have to go with the MAK-3000, dimebags tone on it was sooo weet

 

even bugera amps are more "boutique" than meteoro :o

expensive != boutique

 

boutique tube amps don't use hybrid preamp sections

the MAK has only 1 tube gain stage and a lot of diode clipping (it's based on the MHA2000, which is JCM 900 copy with 6550's)
