List as many you find worthy for high gain. Must be 50 or 100w and the most notable quality, it must be quiet. So quiet it impressed you at volume.
What style of metal you play ?CCV. It stopped my amp hunt instantly. It’s high gain, so it had some hiss.
I have all the popular high gain Mesa Mark 2C+,++, Colosseum ++, Mark 3,4, Uber, Rectos, everything. the Cameron CCV was just THE amp.
Cool ideatheres no last amp for me. My Laney GH100s for example might not be my favorite day to day amp, but the occasions where im in a sabbathy sludge mood that is the best amp. if im doing galloping chugging its my iic+, if im doing 90s death metal its my vh140c... i plan on getting serious and actually recording a bunch of songs soon, ill probably use a different rig each song lol

Sacrifices must be made!!!!!!!No way is a boosted 2203 quiet at volume. I wouldn't start this thread if that amp made the list but it doesn't come close.
Carol Ann amps make me so curious. Especially Triptik 2 and the like. Not much info on those sadly.Probably as hard to find as a Cameron CCV, but the Carol Ann Triptik 2 is it for me. No boost, eq, or noise gate needed, super quiet even at really high gain.
Modded Mark IV? Elaborate on that one please.I got my modded Mark IV directly from Mesa back in the early 90s. Had a bunch a Mesa stuff thru the years and now down to Diezels and 3 Monomyth Marshalls.. While my others sound great, this Mark IV is just not only a killer sounding amp but versatile as all hell. Sometimes I get caught up chasing the latest great amp only to realize that I already own it. LOL I had a Rev.C #31 that I got the same time as my Mark and that left some years ago. From 92 to 24 and has never been on the block!
