So I want a new amp. A good one. But the problem is I don't know what I want. That's where you come in. I'll mainly be playing thrash, Metallica type stuff, but I also some heavier stuff going from Black Sabbath all the way to Alice In Chains. I've been eyeballing a Blackstar Series One 6l6 head, but now I'm not sure if that it what I want. Mark V? Marshall JVM? Or how bout a 5150/6505 thrown in there for good measure? Anyway, tell me what I want. Thanks for the input. It's much appreciated.

Re: Tell me what I want!!!!
Have you looked into the Orange Thunderverb 50 ?
One day, i will have one . . . mark my words.
Stil by far thee best demo on the internet of this great amp.
IMHO, this amp can most deff do Sabbath (so much 'better' than any Laney i know of imho), AIC and so much more than just those bands.
Seeing that the amp had a massive BIG bass amp trannie, this thing can go real ((( L O W )))Tele, SG, LP Jr, '76 Ibanez Artist & Tokai LS92 + FUZZ boxes into a '66 AB165 Bassman & 2X12 (55Hz Greenbacks) / '73 Orange OR120 & 2X12 (V30 & SwampThang) / Orange Thunderverb 50 & PPC212 / Marshall Vintage Modern 50 & 2X12 Genz Benz g-Flex / Laney Klipp / Laney AOR Pro Tube 100

Re: Tell me what I want!!!!
You remember Rube Goldberg? He could link together and endless succession of things and make it allwork. Well I was having trouble finding the amp I wanted. Most of the retain stores cannot give you much advice on anything musical that you might buy. To them a $100 Korean guitar is the same as a Taylor. It is all one giant "biomass" and allof it is the same. Guitar strings? They all know D'Addario name. What about Martin? (no) What about phosphur brionze? (what?) What about coated Elixirs? (never heard of it). So imagine when you ask about amps .. well you plug it in the wall and then plug in a guitar and play. That's ALL they know about it. And the sound the lke is crunch-metal-rock as loud as you can get it (like for Irvine Meadows). Tube amps? (no, never saw one in a tube..) Well I bought (I discovered) a Yamaha THR10 (very low price) and it does everything (beautiful amp) .. and you can run an output from the "phones" jack to almost anything including another amp (which I do) and have all the volume you want .. or as little. What to do is to adjust the ultimate output with the guitar controls a half-way. That way you can fine tune volume and tone with the guitar (that's why they are there!) and not ever touch them amp. It is a fantastic solution for ANY kind of amplified need. Light and portable and unbelievable. NOBODY AT THE GUITAR center knows about it (even though they have them) They just do not take an interest. Yamaha (excellent quality) THR10 .. you will love this amp. (and the price)
