I owned a 410H twice, and I regret selling it.... twice....
Killertone has some JVM + Blackmore clips that are insane.
Damn, now I really miss that amp
Yep; don’t get me wrong. I dug my 410h a whole lot and kinda wish I had it again,
but for modern metal I am happier with the 6505. I probably would favor a Qr
Over the JVM for modern stuff because it can get really percussive
OD1 and OD2 are great for metal, but I don’t know if modern metal.
More like thrash. Honestly, for modern stuff I am happier with a 6505.
And for the price of a used 410h, you can get a used 6505 and a mesa 4x12.
You can probably find a $500 ish 6505 on GC easily. And don’t get me wrong. I miss my Nitro, and if money weren’t an issue I would own it and the 6505. :D
It was EL34 based. My two biggest issues with the Nitro were: (1) it seemed to be awfully finicky to speaker and cab choice, and (2) it was a bit of a one trick pony.
I may be in the minority here, but I think the 6505 has more tonal variety. Also, it seems to be more forgiving in terms of...
Couldn’t be happier with my 6505. With just a little volume it kills any of my previous amps (JVM, Mark V, Splawn Nitro, Orange Rockerverb).
I think the fact that it was half of the cost of any other amp makes it sound even better!
This is good to know!
It does seem that the 6505 favors Dimarzios for some reason. My Ibby with a ToneZone and Air Norton sounds sooo much better
than my LP Custom with Motor City Solutions. May have to swap those out.
Is this straight in no boost? It’s crazy tight!
I run my 6505 into a mix of v30s and 75s, but might have to switch to GBs. Do the GBs tame the fizziness at lower volumes (that’s my biggest complaint with the 6505)?
Hmmm. Now I have to get the theblackstymph ones.
If you are looking for more of an EVH type tone, try searching for this guy's profile on the exchange:

I think he profiled the amp with a gt-75 cab, which Im not a fan of, but the profile feels legit.
