Something about 50 watts and that original Bogner straight "Cantrell" circuit that just do go together:

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for recommendations for a new amp. Basically looking for a head that can do the modded JCM800/plexi thing - think Jerry Cantrell and later Wizard-era Hetfield.

I know Jerry used a Bogner modded JCM800, now uses Friedman, and Het used the Wizard Modern Classic but these are relatively unattainable. Any suggestions on where I should be looking to get tones like these?

Looking for a head with at least a 50w power section, a clean channel, and I want all the gain to come from the amp - I don't want to have to boost it with a pedal or have to get it modded. My budget is around £1500.

Thanks!

I seen AIC in 2014 with Jerry using the Friedman JJ amps and his tone was awesome... sounded every bit as good as the albums. I don't think you would be the least bit disappointed with it and it might be more available to you. Not sure if 1500 pounds would buy it though.
