Amps
 

Ok, i think is time to upgrade my gear.

Any guitar players out there? I want to hear your
recommendations about guitar amps....

Let me hear which guitar amp you use or which one you like..

BTW: I want to stay away from the Marshall line of products.

Whats wrong with Marshal?

I already got two of them:
JCM900 and Valvestate 40V.

Mesa Boogie...70's Ampeg V4..on and on

Nice to see more guitar players here :)

Here is my current gear:

Guitars:
Gibson Les Paul Standard Plus
ESP VIper with EMG pickups
Ibanez RG 550

Amps:
Peavey 5150 Head
Sovtek 100H
ENGL 4x12 cab with Celestion Vintage 30 speakers

Multiefx:
Boss GT-5

My band plays rock like creed, tool, knickelback, etc. But i'm also into hardcore and metal.

For metal nothing can beat a Peavey 5150, mybe a M.Booguie but are so fucking expensive here in Spain. Really high gain, i use it at 6 (from 1 to 10) and got more that enought gain. Great bass response, a real wall of sound. Think on Machine Head as they use that amps. I also get great clasic rock tones with my Les Paul plugged into it.

I can post some mp3 from our last cd for you to check the 5150 rocking :)

Depending on what your bag of playing is, I have some ideas.

When I play electric blues, nothing beats my Fender amp, 85 watts thru one 12 inch speaker, it totally blasts with channel switching and reverb. Its just really happening for the blues. I run a Stratocaster with Gold Lace Sensor pickups (1995 strat, is a 1959 reissue) with no effects, just the strats pickups and volume.

There was an amp out a few years back called a Solando I think, They had a really wicked tone from bluesy to screaming metal. Might wanna see if one of them is around.

Line6's are pretty cool too if you are into gadgets on the amp, I just alway sfelt its more shit to break.
