Quite Digging the sound of angry, high gain, plexi type amps after hearing a demo of one of Dan Gower's Killer Kali ++ modded JMP 2203's
So i want something in that vein.
What i got from it was that it was a really hairy raw, reasonably uncompressed for a high gain amp, bright, crunchy defined type tone, but with growl and and solid but not overpowering low end.
This is to pair with an SLO. Well.. in my head.
From Demo's the following seem to have those kind of "pissed off" thing going on, any have any experience of them? other suggestions welcome. I'm not so interested in the likes of Bogner or Friedman as they seem to have super thick low ends.

Fortin Meshuggah (Rare and stupidly expensive, but I know of a guy who's shifting one if you've got a spare 3500)
KSR Juno
A JCM800 with a tubescreamer or an sd-1 (or a JCM2000 DSL, or a JCM900 SL-x)

One of my favorite amps but probably quite similar to an SLO (or at least they do get compared to the Soldano's quite often). I never felt it did 'pissed off' very well.
Splawn are a good shout. Do Richtone still have the Nitro for sale? That seemed a monster amp.

I actually got something like that with my old Peavey JSX too.
I'd go with an old US Peavey 5150 before a modern one i think.
I've been told there's a "pre/proto 5150" that peavey used as the basis for the 5150 that are supposed to be pretty hairy.
Also i know i said no Friedman, but i listened to some of the JJ100 clips and its seems to be rawer and angrier than your average BE.
@Gadget, £550 for the basic package, but ramps up quick once you start adding optional mods like FX loops and clean channels. I think there's a list of amps he'll work on though. the Kali appears to be for single channel plexi derivatives and their reissues, plus the 1987 models may not have enough space for the optional extras.
This is just going on his price list sheet though.
