Need a Death metal Amp

[Rogervandeberg]

In my opinion, the 5150 is the standard for tight metal riffs and also records very well!

[George Necola]

no the standart 5150 is very bad.. it harms your environement :D

reality shows, that there is not "THE AMP" out there.. its in your finger, and how you play those fukkin palmmutes.. overall tightness is the main problem of any serious deathmetal giutarist. so it's primary not the sound of the amp, witch is the problem, it's the technique and overall performance.

long story short:
try out Laboga Mr. Hector, with the d'addario? pickup booster or an old (IMPORTANT!) ibanez tubescreamer.

also recomended:
old!! MEsa boogie dual recto. mod it's FX way and put some tubes in there (KT or something).

old Marshall JSL

old peavey 5150, heavily modified with NOT THE STOCK TUBES.



I don't know why not any single manufacturer, can produce a good amp out of the factory these days (Laboga seems to be a big exception).

good luck man..

keep on practicing

Yeah I reckon the 5150 is the way to go but like the guy above said, get some different tubes. I prefer the mk2 over the original 5150 but the clean channel sucks on both of them. I thought that's what they were supposed to have improved on the mk2 but it still sucks. Anyway, tone really comes from the way you play and you are only as good as your right hand (assuming you are a right handed guitarist). \

Cheers mate!
