Looking for a high gain amp.
Looking for a high gain amp.
Sound I want is the gain and crunch is as high as Dimebag Darrel's tone, yet sounds more thick and not too overly trebly. I also would want a hifi-stereo like tone..BBE seems to come to mind. Some nice tight bass and a modern metal-ish tone. I'm leaning towards a V2 at the moment. Arch Enemy seems to come to mind with as well as Dino Cazares's current tone.
Arch Enemy on what album?
You can't judge an amp solely based on clips, you gotta try it yourself. The Fireball is NOT a thin sounding amp.
That's true, but there's no dealers near me that have that amp to try out, and I could only rely on clips and reviews from people and members in different forums. I know it sucks, but its all I got at the moment.
It sounds fucking HUGE thru the mesa. I couldn't tell ya how it sounds thru other cabs though. I should try it with my avatar.
Why did you choose the Blackmore over the other Engl models? Also, I hope this sounds much different than the Peavey 5150 II that I had. The MESA cab is equipped with the Celestion V30's..right?

Cause its doesn't have a billion and one control knobs and its brootal!!! Also, its amazingly simple to dial in a amazing tone. You could literally close your eyes, turn all the knobs and play and it will sound amazing. I have yet to find a bad tone.

It will destroy the 5150 II. I had a 6505 and hated it. the Blackmore owns it!! Trust me, it will sound clear now nosy like the 5150's. IMO its the most over rated amp out.

Thanks man! You rock!!! I could get a good deal on a marshall 1960 cab and would you recommend it paired with this Blackmore? I was thinking of getting the Fireball, but I believe the Blackmore is thicker and somehow more brutal.
