Re: 5150 II vs. JCM 800
"BTW, I love the 800s and the 5150s and have uses for both amps for sure. But, I think the 5150 is the more relevent amp to most metal and to more players that do current metal right now.
For plug in out of the box brutality and chug on rythms, the 5150 is truly the one to get. But the 800s will have a sweeter lead tone. "

well, my post was misleading...i didn't mean to say he should get the jmp1 rack over BOTH the jcm800 and the 5150. i just think the rack would suit him better than the 2210 head (i prefer the 2210 btw). i certainly prefer the 5150 over the rack, but then again, the rack beats the living shit out of the 5150 when it comes to marshall tones...duh!
edit: as for the jmp1....you said you're into scandinavian stuff. check out hatesphere, they're using a jmp1/ mesa 50:50 setup. quite a kickass sound, although i'm convinced their latest album features a different setup.
