New amp suggestions?

[jclogston]

Hi -

so looking for another amp to add. I already have the Engl Ironball but looking for something different. I play mostly 80's metal and thrash. Play at home but have an attenuator (weber mass) to help with volume reduction.

Looking at the following:
Mesa Boogie Mark V 25
Soldano Hot Rod 25
Peavey 6505 mini head (if it ever comes out)

Others that i cannot try but have heard good things about:
Ceriatone Son of yeti
Splawn Nitro SS


So what do you think assuming price isn't an issue? Not too much concerned with reverb as i have a pedal for that. Ideally would like 2 channels with a decent clean but not a deal-breaker.

Thanks

Jeff

They'll all do a good job for it. Clean I think the Mesa wins, but that's mainly a fender vs marshall preference. For dirty, I'm a big fan of the mesa, splawn and Ceriatone. So I couldn't really pick just one

How about a modded JCM800 or a Rivera Knucklehead?

So I've narrowed down my choices to the following:
EVH 5150 50W head
Mesa Boogie Mark V 25
and possibly wait for the Peavey 6505 mini head
