Hey guys
So I've pretty much stuck with the old faithful 6505+ head ive had for 10+ years but now that I'm getting a lot more serious with my recording and writing music in a band im trying to find " that one" amp so to speak.
I fell in love with the Uberschall years ago when I found out my favorite sounding lead tones by one of my favorite guitarists where recorded with it. I played one when the twin Jett models where still made in a music store and was blown away ... problem is even used they're still priced at 2.5-3k now and hardly any for sale . I might have to wait for one.
Ive been tone chasing through youtube and sound cloud clips listening with my monitoring headphones through my interface the last 16 hours and feel ive narrowed it down to three amps.
Orange Rockerverb/TH
Rivera Knucklehead

All 3 have similar types of tone but still sound distinct from what I could tell. The uber is the only one ive played in person so im not sure how the other compare IRL but that was also 5+ years ago too.
I don't play extreme metal like grind, black , BDM etc but I really dig that type of guitar tone with just the right amount of tightness. I mainly play thrash and melodeath styled stuff.
I still love the peaveys but im just not 100% happy with the thin and compressed sterile voicing it has. I want that dark, bottom heavy , thick tone that doesn't get too fizzy with alot of gain.
the only maybe that didn't make the list was the VH2. Some demos sound killer and some sound like overly fizzy ass tbh like the tubes are dying or something. Diezel is too expensive for a gamble like that IMO.
So Which of these amps do you think would suit what im looking for the best ? thanks
