For those of you asking why I didn’t include the Peavey 5150/6505 Series amps, here’s why... The Peavey 5150/6505 series are great sounding amps, and I’d even go so far as to call them one of the greatest sounding rock amps ever. They’re great for metal, as well, but for HEAVY tones I just can’t put them in the same realm as the Herbert, Knucklehead, Thunderverb, etc. The Peaveys are heavy-sounding, they’re just not THAT heavy-sounding. I own a couple of them and they’re great, so I have plenty of experience with them.

Thanks Robert for the video. Some interesting choices. Most I agree with. Always enjoy the channel. Thank you!! Will sign up for the Facebook group.

I always enjoy your vids man. I think you should have done this in 2 videos. Have a tube/hybrid vid and a solid state vid. It let's you do more possibilities and gives you more subject matter. You're channel is going to take off and when it does, don't be afraid to do subsections bro.

Hello Robert, I have the same Marshall as you and a Marshall DSL100, both with 4x12's. 4 Fender's, an Orange Dual Terror tube amp, a Peavey classic tube with dual 2x12s cabinets. And some others. I started to buy a bognor but opted for the Orange. Great video.

Mike Soldano sold the company to Boutique Amps Distribution out of southern California. They are supposedly going to start off with a GTO pedal and a reworked SLO, and supposedly going to launch them at winter NAMM. Great video and great list! I actually am fortunate enough to have two of the amps from this list. The Dual Rec and a JVM 210. Great great amps!

My 1986 Mesa/Boogie Mklll Simulclass is a very strong amp and capable of extreme heavy tones and was the amp used on Metallica’s “Black” album. This one has the Marshall style “crunch” channel. I may not have all the other hottest amps out there but this covers a major amount of territory.

I love that you included things that are not on the radar for some of us. Cool to hear a list that isn’t a regurgitation of the amps everyone says should be on a list like this. You didn’t put my favorite on the list, I kinda like that. No I’ll go listen to all of these cool amps I’m not as familiar with. Great channel!

Great list dude and they all sound great for the most. I tried a Krankenstein a number of years ago and found it difficult to dial in exactly as you said. I am lucky to (kinda) own 3 of the amps on this list. They all sound phenomenal in their own ways. Would love a Bogner or Diezel but currently settled with my Mesa Roadking II, Soldano SLO100 *with the depth mod) and a Marshall custom shop JCM800 2203. They are my 3 holy grail of tone amps personally and could never part with any of them. Rock on!

Been using Rivera amps since the early 90’s. Never had any problems and that’s a lot of gigs. Absolutely bulletproof. The knucklehead is brutal and extremely loud especially with the los lobottom cab.

Robert well done bro.. Im.a fan of the 6505 series. Ya list the Rivera Mick Thompson I'd love to own he is my favorite modern player.

My buddy likes his block letter 5150 over his Mesa triple rec. I got a 6505mh and love it with an overdrive in front and eq through effects loop and for $400, totally worth it!

In previous years, I have owned two VHT amplifiers. The first one was a Deliverance which was awesome. The second one was a Pittbull 100 CL. Crazy clarity and massive low end that is deep and percussive. I had owned a Rivera Knucklehead and it was loud as HELL, clean to heavy it was an overall stellar amp. I still think the Pittbull CL was more aggressive. The most aggressive amp that I owned was a Splawn Nitro. Imagine if you took a JCM800 then modded the literal s*** out of it, with a tight percussive low end a clean channel that can rival a Fender. The harmonics leap out of those amps. Surprised that the Framus Cobra isn't on this list?? As far as JCM800's go, they changed the high gain world but what most people have to realize that is that the heaviest JCM800 tones came from modded versions.

Love your vids man👍 James never used the Herbert only the vh4 paired with a Mesa triaxis . Now live they’re using all axe effects , to my knowledge anyway.

Will never argue against Marshall as you know I am a fan and yes you need 4 channels. Krank Rev 1 was new to me and holy crap that's heavy. Had to go listen to some tones. My additions to this list, won't surprise you are based on Marshall, the Metropoulis line of amps, these are great amps Plexi with modern features. Also the Mesa Boogie Stilletto. Thing of Marshall Plexi meets dual rec. Oh not sure why your clean amps video is gaining steam but I got an addition to it. A Dumble, yeah I know none of us will ever buy one but got to play one recently. This is by far the best clean amp I have ever played. Clean is so perfect, and then clean where is just starts to break up is heaven. I now know why these amps are such legends.

Go listen to that Crüe record, you’ll wonder how come you never knew about it before. I’m familiar with the Mesa Stiletto amps. You’re right, that was basically Mesa-Boogie’s Marshall-esque circuit of that era. Not a direct clone, by any means, but they are really cool. I think the dude from Three Days Grace used a Stiletto to record their entire One-X record. (I think that’s what that record was called, anyway.) The reason why I didn’t include the Dumble on the clean amps video is exactly what you mentioned: the price tag. Those things seem to start around $90,000 these days, and there are only a select few players in the world who could possibly afford one. I’ve actually never even seen one in person, much less gotten to play one, so that’s another reason I didn’t include it.

Really enjoyed all your amps videos ! I think it would be a great idea to do a list of 5 or 10 overpriced amps

I had a JCM 900 from 2003 to 2012 and I loved it but it was always going out just before a show and I’m not sure what was wrong with it I didn’t know much about working on tube amps back then but I eventually sold it broken for like $300

I Agree with the SVT, if any guitarist gets the chance, plug in and be wowed. Im an alien in my beloved Doom community as i happen to love and prefer modern gear. Great episode!

I usually hate people that just talk about tone without demonstrating but your list concurs with my taste, and a couple I hadn't heard of...

I do love the dual recs but yeah those diezels... 😮😮😮😮😮

MC ‘94 is actually several amps blended - the predominant being the SLO-100 ;-)

Good point on the Uberschall... It has a weird and congested midrange. I like those Marshall JVM heads but never understood why they are so noisy. I've had plenty of high gain amps, but the JVM is just crazy noisy.

Hi Robert, I have only recently discovered your KZread channel and have become an instant huge fan. Anyway, I was a front of house engineer for many years including Motorhead, Chicago and Dio and so many others I couldn't count them all. One of my last tours was with Heaven and Hell (Everyone called us Black Sabbath but without Ozzie we couldn't use that name officially) My question is Tony was using Laney amps on the last tour so I was wondering if you'd featured Laney on any of your clips? Cheers, Kevin

A Laney is featured a lot more often on my channel than most people realize, actually. I use a Laney IRT-Studio for most of my full-track demos with bass and drums when I’m doing pedal demos. It’s mounted in my studio rack, so it doesn’t usually make it in the camera shot during those segments, but it does get used a lot. I did do a video specifically on that amp about a year ago, if you haven’t seen it. If you’re new to my channel, than you’re probably not yet aware that, while I love Laney amps as much as the next guy, I’m actually NOT a fan of the AOR’s at all because I HATE the EQ on them. I think it’s far more trouble than it’s worth. But the Ironhearts, the LA series, and the Cub series amps are all great. I’ve not yet heard the Lionheart series amps, but they sure look cool, and I can only imagine they stack up with the rest of their line.

They fell victim to corporate ownership. They were owned by St. Louis music for a long time. Then when St. Louis Music were acquired by LOUD Technologies, they continued to push the Crate brand for awhile, but they started moving a lot of of their production overseas to China, including the Blue Voodoo, and they just went downhill from there. Also, Line 6 got popular and were doing everything the Crate solid-state amps could do plus a whole lot more and at the same price point, so my understanding is that rather than adopt the current technology into their own amp line, they decided to shelf the brand altogether and focus more on the Ampeg brand.

Surprised that the 5150/6505 isn't on the list! But still a great list you made!

I think you have me confused with somebody else. I read every comment and I don’t remember any comments about that particular amplifier. And I never did a video on the Marshall AVT150H.

Paul Von Tyrant has that happened or is it a what if? They’d have to split the money less ways, lol. Glenn Hughes is amazing but I’d worry about how many more years he can do what he does

John Corabi has played in so many different bands because he’s extremely talented and in very high demand. I saw Ratt out on tour about 10 years or so ago, and none other than John Corabi was their replacement for the late Robbin Crosby on guitar, and he did a great job for them. Then immediately after the tour, Stephen Pearcy went on another one of his drunken tirades, taking out all of his own problems on the rest of the band and that was the end of that lineup. LOL

Maybe I am just a product if my era, but the JCM800 half stack will always reign Supreme in my universe. The secret to getting the really heavy tones out of that beast is to use a Ibanez TS9 as a clean boost and tone filter for that mid bump, run directly into the front input. That and the combination of Celestion GK100 speakers on the bottom with celestion V30's on the top. After gigs I kept expecting to meet Lucifer in the parking lot with a contract written in blood. LOLMFAO,

Great video and great list. I own a ampeg v-2 and it's a monster cranked

I’ve played in a band with a longtime bass player buddy of mine off and on for over 10 years now. He used to have an Ampeg Reverberocket half-stack that I used to play through when we practiced at his house. Great Sounding amp, I was bummed when he sold it. LOL

Wasn't Jim Marshall first design a beefed up Fender Bassman? Love playing thru guitar thru bassman

It was basically a Bassman, but he had to make some changes to the design along the way because some of the parts used in the American-made Bassman were not available to him in the U.K. So, he substituted some American parts for some British parts and made the appropriate voltage and bias adjustments along the way, and the next thing we knew, the JTM45 was born.
