I've always been a Marshall guy - love my JTM45 with pedals out front - and love the sounds of a cranked Marshall.

But I'm on the lookout for something from the Cold Cathode group - either a 5150, or Soldano Avenger to use for the modern metal high-gain sounds.

Whatever is going to sound either the fuzziest or the most like the amp is about to melt.

Who were you before you encroached on the Anomoly's user name? :-?


"The Anomaly" is an imposter. I was "anomaly" as early as 2001 on Harmony Central.

I have only seen The Anomaly since I've started posting in '08, and that dude's no imposter.

We'll have to settle with two people somewhat sharing the same username.

Sure he's an imposter. I'm anomaly, not him. He stole my name.

I (anomaly) was actually banned a long time ago on HC, and i went by the name "Deconstruction" before the change. The Anomaly is still an imposter though.

I can't pick one if its other peoples tones. Then its 100% whatever fits the song.

For myself I picked Marshall type. I've become a huge fan of a clean or slightly dirty Marshall-type amp slammed with a pedal. I also love the roar a cranked marshall puts out so...yeah, Marshalls.

Though I would kill to have a Vox I could crank til my ears bleed and pretend I'm Brian May. :lol:

If I COULD play metal, I'd pick either the Boogie or 5150 as I'm a big fan of late 90s/early 00s metal core and much of that is Boogie based though there was some cranked Marshall and 5150 use going on as well.

Every one of them has their place, so I pick all. I couldn't imagine Master of Puppets on a plexi, just as I couldn't imagine AC/DC on a Vox. But, if you put a gun to my head, I would keep my Mark III. And then I would call the police.

On record, I love my AC30hw cranked then boosted, either with a biiiig clean boost or an SD-1, Rat etc set to low gain. Gives a great responsive lively sound with loads of snarl, loose low end, fuzzy chime and a sound that cuts brilliantly. I love the pick attack of that setup, it's like chalk.

But live as the only guitar player in my band it's a different story - that sound doesn't work so well for me when it's totally exposed, and I find myself fighting it for higher gain stuff. Plus it's very very loud! So on stage I prefer something smoother and bigger sounding. I loved my Tremoverb but had to sell it a couple of weeks ago, surprisingly though my AC100cph gets similar dark but tight overdrive (it's a little thicker in the low mids) through my open back vox 2x12 so I'm going to be trying that out for the first time at a gig this weekend.
