Surprised how few marshalls are on here. No love for the JCM 800?

The threat title says "high gain." I know people are going to rag on me for this, but a stock 800 doesn't really fit that description.

Re: What's your Holy Grail of High Gain?
Well people have mentioned amps here that are less qualified already such as the Boogie Princeton and the old school Plexis. But yeah, a modded JCM 800 sort of blazed the trail for high gain amps didn't it?

Re: What's your Holy Grail of High Gain?
I really want to try:
EVH 5150 III
Diezel VH4
Peavey 5150 (even I'm surprised I haven't tried one)
Mesa Road King
Soldano Hot Rod
Randall Satan or Thrasher
Rhodes Colossus or Gemini
Mesa Mark 5
Splawn Nitro
Engl Savage or Engl Ironball
Bogner Helios
And the list goes on.
Lots to try, it sucks having no good music stores around.

On the subject of Krank amps, I went to the site. Apparently Mr. Krank and crew are working on a new amp line named Revolution. It's...got Guy Fawkes masks on the 1sheet, so if it's an Anonymous-themed amp, I'mma gonna find the nearest corner and cry in it.
dis guy. he get it.

MMMmmm . . . better look into them !
EDIT :
In this rig rundown they both still use 800's, and it is just briefly mentioned that one of them prefer to use the TV200 in Europe.

True . . . beat me to it.
YUP, some modded 800's do get that hi-gain thing going, pretty bloody well.
FJA comes first to mind :

I've gone through some nice amps (Soldano, Rivera, Two rock, ...) but have found my groove with one of these

Re: What's your Holy Grail of High Gain?
I don't mean to be rude but you think that little rig rundown you searched for tells you the whole story about a band you didn't know about before posting? I've been following them for years, both live and what they do in the studio. Yes, they both love their 800s ... However, they've used a lot of different amps live and I've heard them play TV's a lot live and yes, they sound AMAZING...IMHO, way better than wehen using 800s, which was my point all along: that heir tone is greatwith the Oranges (both of them [since you seem to feel the need to underline this yourself in your post], Andy and Jordan...)and it's a great high-gain tone to me.

Re: What's your Holy Grail of High Gain?
This. I'm a Kemper guy but I would happily own and play an AxeII if I were gigging more (the software + footcontroller + 2 rack space and possibility of using 1 AxeFX for 2 guitarists makes it better for touring than the KPA) or hadn't purchased the KPA first. I still love tube amps and halfstacks and everything but at this point the modeler (as long as you're talking AxeII or KPA) v real amp argument is more down to convenience than tone. Some people work better with a full amp/cab setup; I'd be MORE than happy to go Axe/KPA -> IEM or powered monitor.

Re: What's your Holy Grail of High Gain?
My Mesa MkIII....with all eight 12s.
A cranked JCM800 or my JVM doing its impression of the same on OD1 is up there too for when I start having Slaytanic visions....
A Diezel Herbert is no slouch for more modern voicing. Haven't played their other models yet...
Although I come back to the Mark every time.
