I can't believe I'm going to say this but I'm starting to get bored with Thrash. Not sure what it is exactly, I just feel like it is getting repetitive to listen too. Still love old school Metallica and Megadeth.

I'm really bored with the HM2 Sound & The Variations of it. Dismember & Entombed Perfected it end of story. It's tiring to see a band run a 5150 or a Marshall or even a dual Rec on the clean channel & use an HM2 Upfront.
 
I’d say I don’t like that ‘80’s thrash sound many bands had (like the Ride The Lightning album) where it sounds very bloated/congested in the mids and has all that reverb or delay. The older I get the more I don’t like hearing added reverb or delay in high gain sounds. RTL is still one of my favorite Metallica albums songwise, but never liked the guitar sound on it
 
Addendum:

Dumble ANYTHING

I'm sure they're amazing in the room but Jesus Christ am I sick of hearing people cum their pants over a farty, grainy, honky jazz fusion lead tone or a clean tone you can get with literally every fender made before 1976
 
On any given day I can be sick of any given guitar tone. Sometimes it’ll last years, sometimes it’ll last 10 minutes. The modern metal guitar tone, well, what’s been “modern” for the last 20 years, is probably the biggest. And what do I do? Regularly pick up my guitars and start riffing out with a modern metal tone.

I wonder where the volumes were set in the Dumble clips online because the one ‘70’s ODS50 I got to try at first sounded much like you described and also a bit muffled until turned up enough and then transformed into something else. I wish I took an iPhone clip in retrospect when I tried it. It was not only the best amp I’ve heard, but for me also one of the best musical instruments overall I’ve heard. That being said, I didn’t care for the Dumble clones I’ve tried including Bludotone. The clean of the ODS didn’t didn’t wow me much, but imo was a pretty different flavor than fender cleans. It was fat, warm and woody, while black and silverfaces are more sparkly, glassy and scooped
 
i think its the "modern" productions i dislike more than any individual style or tone, so many new bands i hear that i could enjoy more if not for the same sterile cookie cutter productions of the last 20 years they have.

That's definitely fair.

If you listen to satellite radio, literally every "metal" station's bands/songs sound so similar to eachother it's almost impossible to tell them apart, until they play a Mercyful Fate, Priest, or Deep Purple tune

To be even more fair, it's not all modern band's fault either. Unfortunately it's just not feasible or often, even possible to record the old school way anymore.
