The funny part about "your tone" is this:

once you get your tone, and you know what you sound like - you get that tone on any amp you play. The amp simply adds it's own flavour.

I've played my jsx and a dual rec halfie - i still sound like me regardless.

It looks like the amps you really want are just a little bit out of your stated range, so I agree that it might be worth it to just wait a little longer and save a little more.

For 1300 hundred you could do a 6505+, mod it to original 6505 specs WITH bias mod and more, and have a mean ass 6505 that's even MORE aggressive and ballsy than the 6505, with adjustable bias, AND a good clean.

Dude. For $1300 hundred, he could get whatever the hell he wanted and then buy it all over again as a backup rig. :lol:

to the OP: if what you want is a bit out of your price range, wait and save. Do Not Settle.

v3 is a good price and can get a good death metal type tone and has good cleans and shit...6505 is a pretty damn good price for what some say awesome brutal tone.....i dont really know if any other amp can hold up against these ones at that price, if it were up to me your skill would pay for the amp you get.:realmad:

if you have any other suggestions for amps around the price of $1300 feel free to recomend them, but i think part of the reason why i want the 6505 or v3 is because there easily accessable to me....6505 being 45 minutes away and v3 being available online

Depends on what you're after..I'm in a death/black metal band and I use a JSX and it sounds killer. True it's not for everyone but that's why I like it, it's tone is unique

IIRC, that's because you've modded it to fuck and back... :lol:

(Easy now, don't rape me...)

Oh, and as for the amp question - in that price range I'd say 5150/6505. Sling a Tubescreamer in front of it to boost it and turn the amp gain down (tightens the amp up a bit) and you've got a serious death metal amp right there...just make sure you get yourself a decent cab as well, perhaps a Vader 2x12 or 4x12?

That's true..I just mean if he wanted to go the 5150 route he'd have money left over to do other things.

I didn't do THAT much. I loved the amp stock, and I would have been perfectly happy with it that way, but I had cash and I wanted to see what could be done to make it even better. Money damn well spent IMO and I'd recommend it to anyone who's found their amp and just wanted it tailored for them. Like a suit.

And I dun told you you was gonna get loved tenderly....don't make me change my mind

Yeah, that was kinda my point. :p I was just poking fun at Drakkar for referring to the "$1300 hundred" you had to work with. He meant $1300, but he said $130,000.

Dude, definitely start with the V3, try it for a weak, tweak the fuck out of it and then try out the 6505+.

Do all this within 10 days and you're laughin. you can make you decision then.

Remember: try them both with YOUR cab or the SAME cab.
