Best djent amp out there?

[DrunkenBam]

SUp foos
just wondering what amp is producing the best djent tone out there right now currently lookin at peavey 6505+, mesa tripple rectifier, or and engl(dunno what model). Budget is 2000-2200 for the head and then a dece cab to go along maybe an orange? thoughts? thanks

evh 5150 3, dont think, just buy

 

[Hyacinth]

Engl Savage IMO

Cant go wrong with a used 6505 and you still got cash left over for more gear. Never played the 6505 plus but I heard for the extra money for the improved clean channel it still sucks.

EVH 5150III.

That's it. Fuck ENGL. Fuck Mesa. Fuck Peavey.

Just get the EVH5150III. It is the perfect amp.

Arent we not supposed to be posting djent threads in the G&E section??? I thought that was supposed to be for the beginners section only...

Just about any high gain amp can produce a 'djenty' tone. It mostly just comes down to voicing among other qualities, and it's all preference really. Just listen to clips on youtube or whatever.

Any of the amps listed will do fine, you'll want a decent noise gate and possibly a boost pedal. Some people also like compressors. It's all really up to taste and technique. You could also look into a used axe fx standard or ultra. That way you have all your amp, cab, effect etc needs sorted and you just need to think about how you're going to amplify it.

I'm an ENGL whore myself, so I'd say Savage. I can never get myself to really like Peavey and EVH stuff personally. Very specific kind of tone that just doesn't sit with me. To each their own, though.

I agree with the ENGL and the Peavey 6505+. One company I would keep an eye on, if they can keep improving their stability issues are, Bugera. The Bugera 6262/6260 sound so bad-ass.

Just not sold on the Infinium Technology just yet. Really, really, really, want to though.

If Meshuggah can do it on valvestates with G12T-75s, it can be done on pretty much anything with high gain.

Dont get an amp, get an AXE FX, a power amp, and any cab you like that isnt a piece of crap.

 

[Mega-Mads]

Either that or one of those DAR amps. Not necessarily the FBM( if it ever comes out)
But it would certaintly blow your budget to the skies

The DAR FBM will "djent" like no other... And I don't even like djent. Beyond that, you can get there with several other amps. It's not some magical sound that only certain pieces of gear can achieve.

Fryette Pitbull UL + MAXON 808 + 2 noise Gate + Ubercab212= Tightest Mofo Od
DJENT = Tight Sound + Noob Chuggah Chuggah on low string ?

 

[Berti_smb]

Engl Fireball 100 and Savage 120, no boost, just noise gate

i have to agree with this... Just because I've heard so many people get a nice tight djent tone from such a wide variety of amps. I even got a nice one with my blackstar HT-50. It just depends on how you EQ it
