Hello, lovely people!
I have a Blackstar HT5R which I really like, but I don't think it's not going to be enough for rehearsals and gigs. I heard that the higher wattage HT series are a bit fizzy and they generally don't seem to be that well loved.
I'm looking for a tone that sounds thick, articulate, and slightly more vintage (I use that word fairly loosely) voiced, rather than a super dry and super tight modern metal type tone. Don't get me wrong, I love that sort of tone, but it's not really what I'm going for here. I'm not very good at describing tone, but you get the idea. An example of the sort of thing I'm going for would abe Kurt Ballou's tone, the guitarist from Converge.
I looked at the Laney IRT, but the Jim Root Orange seems to fit the bill a bit better.
Any opinions?
