I don't think there are enough of those floating around to make a top ten list. From the clips I have heard they are badass but at over $4000.00 they are out of the reach of most people. As far as the HD147 making the list I think it was just there way of trying to have a diverse list and include the digital stuff. Those are great amps btw.

Members Bro' FF Posted June 10, 2005 Members Share Posted June 10, 2005 I don't know that I could have come up with ten: Marshall JCM 800/900/2000 Mesa Dual Rectifier Peavey 5150 Bogner Uberschall Those amps right there probably constitute 80% + of gigging metal musicians' wares. There are many others that are great, but not as prevalent. What kind of loser uses a modeling amp if they play only metal? That is just dumb. The only reason to have a modeling amp of any kind is versatility for a variety of amp sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EdMan57 Posted June 10, 2005 Members Share Posted June 10, 2005 If the list is based on advertising dollars spent,wouldn't the Crate BV300 be on the list?Actually,I feel that the BV300 is a pretty solid heavy metal amplifier...so shoot me...Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wanky Posted October 2, 2005 Members Share Posted October 2, 2005 yeah {censored}ing serously wheres the 5150, legendary hardcore, black/death metal amp, more umcompressed crunchy gain than any other amp 1. JCM800 2203 2. Mesa Triple Recto 3. Bogner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hell Bites Posted October 2, 2005 Members Share Posted October 2, 2005 I thing I really agree with on that list is the JCM800. I agree that the Peavey 5150 really should have been there. By the way, how many bands really use the Uberschall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wanky Posted October 2, 2005 Members Share Posted October 2, 2005 Actuaclly the the jcm800 2203 was the first ever true metal amp, tho it needs to have it preamp modded for hi-gain to compareble the modern metal world, but i chose the DSL to be the top becuase it has the 2203 tone in one of it modes and Lead 1 in it ultra gain channel with the tone shift scoop pressed gives off a great metal tone.

Members anti-flag193 Posted October 2, 2005 Members Share Posted October 2, 2005 Originally posted by Megadeth7684 One of the guitarists in Shadows Fall used one live before he switched to Kranks. That doesn't mean it deserves to be on the list at all though. I mean really guys, the Mode Four is sooooo much better than an Engl Powerball or a Dizel VH-4. the dude from hatebreed used one as well, in conjunction with a tsl.

Members anti-flag193 Posted October 2, 2005 Members Share Posted October 2, 2005 Originally posted by Hegmatronicon Ok. Ive played a few JCM800's. Why are they considered a metal amp???? They have very very little gain really. The 900's are a higher gain amp.... Im not saying 800's arent great...they sound very very very nice...but in order to be "metal" they have to be boosted/modded. right? Wouldn't this kinda knock them off the list? I've never heard anybody use a jcm800 for anything remotely heavy without a boost/OD pedal. I guess that kinda just bugs me when they leave out the 5150. Maybe it shoulda been 1. BOOSTED JCM800. That would be a-ok a 2203 and a $30 bad monkey pedal is the best metal tone I've come across yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EmgEsp Posted October 2, 2005 Members Share Posted October 2, 2005 My take 1. JCM800 2203/ It has been proven countless times over what it can do for metal tones boost or no boost so yes I agree with this. 2. Mesa Triple Recto/ I agree partially. It is a very poplular amp and has it's own voicing, but too many bands are using them with the same tone. 3. Bogner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EmgEsp Posted October 2, 2005 Members Share Posted October 2, 2005 Originally posted by BloodyScalpel What the hell?Besides other absurd things already pointed, why a jcm800? that thing is great but cannot get enough gain without a booster.I actually like the hd147. It has quality emulations and a sweet tone. It deserves to be on that list imo. Slayer seems to get enough gain without a boost. Just need Hi-output pickups crank the bitch and almost dime the pre.

Members KovachianOne Posted October 2, 2005 Members Share Posted October 2, 2005 Even though I'm a modelling fan I'm pretty surprised that a modelling amp actually made the list, let alone a Line 6. And there should've been an SL-X on there too. I had the 100w master volume and that thing sounded like f**king WWIII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members unholyaria Posted October 2, 2005 Members Share Posted October 2, 2005 I think it's a wise thing to have bumped this thread -- reminds us all of how {censored}ing ridiculously corporate and greedily whorish GW is. Funny how all of those amps were also the most advertised amps of that time in GW and Guitar One. The exception, of course is the JCM, but if they left that off the list as well as omitting the 5150, then GW headquarters would have been deluged with molotov cocktails. Even still they were advertising the Zakk Wylde sig amps, so there's the JCM ad money, really. What a bunch of {censored}in' pricks. 1. Marshall JCM 800 2. Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier 3. Peavey 5150 (how is it even conceivable that this wasn't included?) 4. Mesa/Boogie Mark IV (same scenario as 5150?) 5. Soldano SLO-100 6. Marshall JCM 900 7. Bogner Uberschall 8. VHT Pitbull Ultra Lead 100 9. Marshall DSL100 10. Randall RH200 The only reason I wouldn't say Engl is that the list is a blend between common use and best sound. I know people will raise their eyebrows about the Randall, but hey, it's still better than the Warhead. Let's just be thankful that the GW list didn't come out this year -- I think we all know that Krank Revolution would be at the top of their list.
