honestly, the dream setup would be
(any preamp that you like)
into a decimator ch1
into a compressor, limiter
into your effects
into your decimator ch2
into a power amp
technicaly theres alot of rack units you can use in between
but if its about bone crushing metal id say
a
peavey classic rack amp 120/120
into two cabs each loaded with 12 ev12ml
or if you cant stand that loudness go with a peavey rack amp 60/60 and use two cabs loaded with vintage 30's
thats what i love, those peavey rack amps back in the day are the equivelant to the engl
power amps now adays, and if you want bone crushing metal, the peavey will swamp your cavin poweramp, and the engl will swamp the peavey
what are you interested in specificaly i love high gain and ive tried alot of that stuff out
