Would you say those amps capture or is similar to a hotrodded Marshall tone? I'm trying to find a small tube amp that can capture 80s tones (Extreme, Skid Row, etc) with the ability to push it into metal territory (Ozzy, maybe Rammstein with a pedal if needed).

Re: 5150/6505 owners
I like them don't get me wrong, but for not much money the 6505 has a lot more features I was after like attenuation, headphone jack, reverb etc...'Without music life would be a mistake'.

Re: 5150/6505 owners
They are sort of descended from a 'rod Marshall sound, but the execution is still quite different. There is massively more body, punch and grit, more 'modern' flavour and feel. I don't mean that with '80s chops, gutar touch and suitable gain they can't produce something like that, they are just not '80s by nature.
My best bet would be a cheap but awesome RnR workhorse Origin 20 head with a dedicated booster pedal. Also, the mini Peavey 6505MH or the EVH LBX heads are worth checking. Or a tiny power amp and an AMT S1 / S2 preamp pedal that is voiced after the king of the era Soldano SLO100 head - but that's a whole different story.

It's definitely not made for this.

. . . we all prefer differant sounds and hear things very differantly from one another . . . but i will take THIS sound (95% of the time) over any hotrodded Marshall tone.
