Never heard of these. Dear god, it's like a brothel for my ears.

That reminded me of this:
Navtone.
Really small amp maker out in California. Sounds pretty good to me. No idea how to contact the guy though.

Okay aside from the fact that my guitar tech buddy barely missed the opportunity to purchase an old Sunn Model T head from Goodwill for $100 today (he got there when it went on reserve! 
), this thread is putting me in a stoney sludgey mood and I like the GAS that it fuels me 
Also came in here to recommend Laneys!

I recommend a Dual/Triple Rectifier, or a 5150/6505 as well! Gainy, huge tone out of these amps. Don't really listen to sludge much, but I know The Ocean used rectos for a while, and Precambrian is one of my favorite metal albums ever!
Well, before I had a brain aneurysm and went solid state, I really enjoyed my Laney GH50L. It's dirt cheap and very good for this sort of stuff. Orange amps are still the tits for the sort of thing though, no matter what.

^This, precisely. I couldn't even think straight for a moment.
Also, what about old Laney Klipps?

Might as well get an Orange. They're pretty rare and expensive, I believe.

yeah I know... I never see them like that either. My buddy is an old school guitar tech for the last 25 years and he frequents goodwills and pawn shops looking for sweet amps. He went to Goodwill yesterday and found a Model T that was sold already for $100! I was like NOOO damn when I heard this
Oh well lol.
I REALLY wish I would have kept my Laney GH50L, since a couple months after I let it go I decided to start writing an album full of sludgeyness.

A bit on the pricey side (or not, depending on how much you consider pricey), but the Orange Thunderverb 200 would probably work out well for you. Especially since it's 200 watts...so it's twice as loud as a 100 watt amp!!!! Sludge needs to be LOUD!!!!

200W is not twice as loud as 100W... ~1000W is twice as loud as 100W. You will never even crank a 50W all the way for any gig. Lower wattage would actually be better for the sound he's trying to get as it would allow for more power amp distortion at lower volume levels.A bit on the pricey side (or not, depending on how much you consider pricey), but the Orange Thunderverb 200 would probably work out well for you.

You, sir, made the list.

I was wondering if anyone would believe I was serious, and I just got my answer.

Pretty incredible, right? I've been told the guy is super down to earth and super cool too.
I can vouch for this. He posts quite a bit in the doom room thread in the fx forum at HC. Cool dude and very responsive and informative
