Re: amp with the most gain?

Joneser hit it fairly well.....the rest is just compression and extrabee-swarm buzz....that will not deliver much tonewise.
It is more a question of how you cut the signal up and how the eq works, most amps are based on fender and Marshall crunch taken a few steps beyond.
And the reason is that the fit into a band sound with ease if used right.
That fat midrange is just the sound......different mousetraps but works form a sound proven basis.

But...this gain knob goes to 11. Nigel, paraphrased. How bout the DSL's. They
go to 20, right?

Re: amp with the most gain?

Of all the amps I've tried, I would have to say the 5150. I would imagine the Peavey XXX would have excessive amounts as well

[strat_master]

Re: amp with the most gain?

A few that come ot mind would be maybe
Mesa boogie triple recto
peavey xxx
diezels
soldano slo

Re: amp with the most gain?

Peavey XXX.

I've always found the Bogner Ubershall to have considerably more gain than the xxx.

Re: amp with the most gain?

The 5150 has the most gain stages of just about anything out there (6). For example the rectos have 4.

Re: amp with the most gain?

how about the 5150 2?

i am saving up my money to get a really nice hi gain head that isnt way to expensive

Re: amp with the most gain?

Bogner Uberschalls and Mesa Rectifiers are the most intensely dirty saturated amps I've heard. Simply brutal.

Re: amp with the most gain?

Well which high gain head would you purchase for under 2000 dollars

[That90'sGuy]

Re: amp with the most gain?

I'd purchase the ENGL SE.

Single Rectifier along with a Standard Recto Cab w/ V30's. Then $100 to spare!! Killer rig.

Re: amp with the most gain?

all the amps gj mentions have more than enough gain... you lose the dynamics when you get up to a certain level.
