right out of our list....
Bogner Uberschall - Only had a go on one for 2 mins... honestly wasnt impressed!
VHT Pitbull - Never tried that specific model, but played one of their power amps and was v. impressed
Framus Cobra - Don't go there... Some bands i know have endorsments with framus and use their support band's 5150s on tour
Peavey 5150 II - Not bad, not very.... versatile.... kind of a one trick pony IMO
Krankenstein - Never played one, but heard Krank amps (at an Arch Enemy gig) and they sounded wicked.
Meteoro Mak 3000 - A what?
Boogie Mark IV - A suprising one... v. versatile, from cleanest clean to stupidest metal. And build like a brick outhouse.
Laney is indeed a good idea. The VH range are good, as are the TT range.
But, Engl. For the price you're looking at, check out their special edition head (6L6 version is better than EL34 in my opinion..)
