Which head is the undisputed heavy(METAL)weight champion?

[Mailman1971]

Owned a slew of amps. For me it's Herbert. Even though I prefer the VH4 over it.
But the Herbie is such a monster for metal.

Can you explain your experience more in detail?

Conversely, Reza owns a Herbert (and his demo of it is surely METAL ) yet he voted VH4.

I guess I would say the voicing on it. Its just meaner and darker then the VH4.
VH4 is tighter to me. More Thrash but edge of the mean. Where to me the Herbert is the opposite. Mostly mean but versatile enough to get other tones.
The + - switch is great on that amp.

If you're talking undisputed "most popular" heavy metal amp champ, likely the 5150 or variety thereof.
If you're talking the "the most usual", you're missing the JCM800 series in there which much metal has been laid out on.

If you're talking "which amp" is meant for metal and kills most everything in its site? NATAS by Fortin.
If you're talking "which amp" raises eyebrows in the world of metal, Uberschall Rev.2
If you're talking "which amp" I think would be the boss? Probably the VH4 or TJ Uber.

Played one a few years back at an amp fest. It was pretty popular
I liked it a lot.

This far the "OTHER" vote heads are:


Engl Savage 120

Marshall JCM800

Fuchs Viper

Wizard MC2

Engl Fireball 100
