Do you guys have any suggestions? Remember I want this amp for mainly heavy guitar tone, kinda like Killswitch Engage, Unearth, Deftones (Around the Fur), In Flames, ect.
i AM kind of shooting myself in the foot re: running the market up, but this is a secret weapon tip....

I have owned a Mesa dc-5, tremoverb, Bogner Ecstasy, VHT 50CL, Fender Prosonic, Tonemaster, Zinky Superfly, line 6 Vetta II, Triple Giant Preamp as well as the soldano sp77 preamp...

That said, the heavy tone that has made me happiest has come from an early 80's Peavy VTM60!!!

You can get them for like 200 bucks on ebay and they destroy the majority of the amps I listed above...I tune to DropB and the bottom end is tighter and bouncier than anything short of a Herbert or Uberschall or Ultralead...

If you wanna go crazy get a VTM120 Head....

Mind you--these are the ONLY Peavy Heads I have ever heard that sound good...really weird
