For high gain metal/hard rock tones in order:
Splawn Nitro EL34 w/ Quickrod midslope-sold to Kurtstuff. I'm a dumbass.
Rivera KR7- I have it. Fuck yeah
VHT Deliverance- I have it. Fuck yeah II
Soldano Avenger- sold it. dumbass II
Engl Invader 100- sold it to fund an Engl Morse, which sucked. Dumbass III
Cameron CCV100- I really enjoyed the feel of it it. Too bad he can't get his shit together. Really nice amp.
Diezel Einstein-sold it to Kurtstuff. Nice amp but overpriced. A real beast at high volumes.
VHT CL50- sounded better than the CL100 I had but the Deliverance is more modern tone.
Mesa Electradyne- great 80s tones. First Mesa to beat Marshall at their game.
Egnater Tourmaster- I love the feel and tone. It's not the best amp at high volumes but it's good enough for me if it was the only amp available to play.
