Re: Looking for a New Amp
Having owned both a Triple Recto and a 5150II, I can say the Mesa will be far more versatile as far as filling in for your bassman should you need it to. I would say the Peavey edges the Mesa in the djent and chugga departments, but its a matter of taste there.
Before I got either of those I got my metal tones with a EXH Metal Muff through my Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, and I got plenty of compliments from other guitarists on how great my tone was. That dist-pedal-through-the-front option is worth looking into.

Re: Looking for a New Amp
Hmm, I totally forgot about the Metal Muff. They're so cheap that I should just pick one up regardless, I'm sure it would be better than my Digitech RP-crap.
New purchase plan:
1) Metal Muff
2) 7 String of some type
3) Dual Rectifier
4) EBMM JP7 to replace whatever 7 string was "good enough" up to that point.

Instead of the Metal Muff, use a Maxon OD-808 or TS9 instead.

I was recommending it for when he plays through a Dual Rectifier, not necessarily with the 68 Bassman.

Find a used Bogner Red XTC pedal for $200. Run it into your amp and it'll be like switching between a real Bassman and a high gain amp. If you're not sure, take your amp to a store that has those pedals and see for yourself if it's a good option.

Re: Looking for a New Amp
Wait guys didnt the OP say he wanted DJENT...? Afaik, that pretty much involves taking everything anybody ever recommended - and doing the exact opposite! Cuz, rly, djent is all about gunning for the very tone everyone else finds hella obnoxious and avoids like the plague, at every turn...
Honestly though, there is a lotta truth buried somewhere in that sarcasm of mine. Try gunning for the brightest setup you cam imagine and cranking the gain on that. Should get you on the ballpark at least. ALSO, there is a slight chance that your current rig is just a gazzillion-band EQ pedal away from what you need...
