What do you look for in an amp more? Versatility or a strong/unique character to their sound? I've always been the kind of guy who prefers AC/DC. Motorhead, Maiden etc to bands that change form album to album as far as my taste in music goes & the same thing extends to my preference in amps..I much prefer the way a Recto sounds to a Mark, a JCM 800 to a JVM , An Orange to well anything else out there etc...
I was listening to demo's of other modern hi gain amps and thinking that while they're all supposedly brutal, (I often don't hear it tbh) what they lack is individuality & I honestly doubt anyone could "pick out the amp' in a blind test with other similar amps, ;cause of the facelessness of their sound & their lack of any charecteristics that set them apart from the next "flavour of the month amp". But they all claim to be "versatile". So is versatility just another word for facelessness?
Just wondering what others think?
