fortin natas/bones, cameron ccv, soldano slo, friedman modded marsall, almost forgot herbert 2 ?. What is your perferrance and why? Tones for hard rock, no death metal tones. Warm and organic tones, singing sustain lead tones. What would be viable/desirable 5 years from now from these choices ?
 
That's a weird question... I'd look at what amps have created the the best tones (to you) in the last 10 years. As for your list?? Hard call, CCV maybe, but otherwise, I'll throw down and say the 20thA EL34 loaded XTC. Period.

But your list is killer, I'm just not sure what it is you're looking for as far as answers go :dunno:

Just sayin'
V.
 
SLO. Extremely versatile, and seems to hold it's value. Life time warranty. Has the "Warm and organic tones, singing sustain lead tones" in spades.
 
a stock marshall with a boost in front of it for solo's.

This changes the game because of the trendiness of alot of these types of amps especially charting out 5 years from now which might as well be an eternity for the flipper/trend chaser forum scene. :lol: :LOL:

Out of those amps listed the SLO would be the most resilient to forum fads/trendiness imo, it's been around the longest and has a more stable forum popularity curve over time than your other choices in my view.
 
I agree with V, Bogner 101B or 20th...no contest. Warm, organic fat, singing, spanky clean, great low gain dirt...I use it for everything from U2 to Metallica, VH to Foo Fighters. Most versitile amp in my opinion, only thing it won't do is Hardcore Metal but that isn't what you asked for....nor is it what I need it to do either but it simply excels at everything else i can throw at it.
 
If I had to do heavy metal/ nu metal a pedal in font I think could push an amp into that noise or into the effects return. Have a pedal that can do that, also have a engineer designing a pedal for me one of a kind not for the general public, but not all amps take gain/ overdrive pedals well.
 
The XTC has the added benefit of 3 channels all with switchable boost and I use them all. Having 6 gain structures makes the amp ultra versitile for me. I would think the clean with a metal pedal (I use the digitech hardwire pedal- excellent in my opinion) will get you into metal land for sure. But I use the amp by itself for everything my band currently does including the Metallica, I just turn up the presence a bit more than normal for addl bite and edge. To me the Bogners have the best fundamental tone (I mean the actual note and guitar tone- not the tone of the amp itself) which gives it great body to the tone no matter how much gain I use.

As soon as I saw the OP's wish list and the word "organic" in there, the XTC was the first thing that came to mind. Of course, I'm a bit biased as I couldn't be happier (and never have been) with my XTC Classic. My constant GAS has been history since it came into my life...
 
I don't know about those, all superb amps!

Not to tease you, but also add these to the list of amps to consider...

Diezel Hagen
Wizard Modern Classic
Suhr PT-100
Bogner Ecstasy
 
nico u fooked me up even more, lol , think i would cross off the wizard, not enough gain at moderate voulme levels, suhr tried in studio not happening for me, xtc hhmmm possibly, had a 101a that was hot, but its long gone. Hagen have to hear one 4 deziels in the coral now using them in studio. Nico u own any of these babies ?
 
mpc 's lol, u kidding me, those r kid;s toys,, if its not studer or neve. forget about it.
 
Baron Custom Amps kick ass. Can't speak for trends five years from now but I can say that at the moment it is rocking my world.

:lol: :LOL: Didn't mean to... I just want you to contemplate all of the choices, so when you decide on one, you don't read about the other and regret not getting it.

Thing is you listed the exact same amps that are on my wishlist, so I tossed in the ones i had on my list too...


Of the ones I listed I only own the Bogner though...

But well with the new PT-100 soon to be released (new version ) and the brand new Diezel Hagen out there which is going to sit nicely in between VH4 and Herbert...

And if I may add an amp I own and love for those tones: Diezel Einstein (Killer amp, more organic than other Diezels, less Hi-Fi sounding, has excellent cleans and a superb texas mode for classic rock, blues...

Nico.
