What's everyones favorite Metal Amp right now?

[Fixated]

Surprised that many people aren’t using the 5153 50w blue. It’s so tight with the T808 OD and maxoff 808. I have tried all of the amps and always come back to this one. It’s the closest I can get to my real 50w stealth blue channel. That would be so cool to get the 50w stealth one day in the axe. My friend who tours all of the time uses the 5153 50w blue channel on the axe as well.

5153 stealth red channel with the presence cranked past 9 o clock through mesa dyna cabs....cant get enough of it. i used the blue channel, fas modern, mark c++ pretty heavily before this one.

I'm not sure what you mean, 9 o clock is only around 3/10, I don't usually consider that cranked

Pretty sure they meant 9/10 and mistyped the “o clock” bit

A lot of my presets still use 50w Blue, and I use it a lot, but I have been converting over to Stealth Red in it's place.

Revv Purple 1 is underrated

I use a two amp preset that blends a Recto2 Red Modern with either 5153 Stealth Blue, Red or PVH 6160+ Lead (depending on effects used).

Blending into a mono one sound output or stereo panned left and right?

Energyball is great for me.

It has a unique sound for sure among all the 5150/6505's. I enjoy it a lot.

Recently I figured out how to dial in a Bogner for my tastes, so I've been playing the Uberschall. Previously, my go-to was the Savage, either 1 or 2 as depending on my mood. It's also hard to go wrong with the any Recto, although I prefer Recto 1. It's basically the sound of the '90s and early '00s. A true modern classic.

I love the Euro Uber with a Klon in front of it, running through the EVH Stealth 2x12 cabs!

I've been glued to the Archon(Archean) ever since it came out

Mind if I ask what IR(s) you’re choosing?

I’m using Dyna Cabs only, 1960 TV in this case.
Here is my preset if you are interested, have fun!

Are you using a drive with the red channel?

 

[Sorenspete]

The TriAxis Yellow is pretty hard to beat for me. Not as straight forward as other amp models to tweak but once you figure out how it ticks it's monstrous.

This amp is so effing sick, I can never get enough of that midrange for leads.

Stereo panned, each with their own dynacabs - it's super CPU intensive (82% ish), but sounds great!!!

I know what you're thinking, but it's not Ola. (it's his evil twin)

FAS Models. I like the way it handle modern sounds in they own unique way. You will never find this tone out of any oth modelers or even amps.
