EDIT: Please note this is an open ended poll, hopefully if enough members contribute this will become a sticky that anyone can use to quickly discover what ss.org's favourite amps are for a specific application.
I don't know if this will work but it's worth a try, if it works I will try to keep this post updated with the results.
Here's the rules,
Rank up to 5 amps 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. in order headed by the catagory. You don't have to vote for 5 amps but this is the maximum.
You can vote for heads or preamp/poweramp combinations. If you normally run the amp with boost then put a B after the amp name eg. vote 1. amp name B
The categories are Overall, Metal, Djent/Numetal, Rock, Budget, preamp, poweramp. I can change/add to the categories if demand requires it. Suggest a price for budget, I'm thinking under $600 but I pulled that number out of my ass so I'm open to suggestions. Only votes titled Overall will be tallied in the overall category.
Only vote for amps you have experience with and only in the appropriate catagory ie. don't vote rock if you hate rock.
When voting please colour your post Yellow, this will make it easier to tally the results as I think the thread will work better if discussion is allowed
If you change your mind please quote your original post and post your new rankings under it.
Go for it!

when I did it I had FF in mind, I did it as they both tend to be a tight modern compressed tone.
