Hello guys,
I'm new here and I just joined a beginning band and still have to buy an amp. The things I have read about this amp got me really excited and the soundclips sound good to me as well. I want to choose between the Peavey Vypyr 60 or the JMD50(head or combo version, head probably with a 1936 cab).
The sound territory where we are gonna land is probably somewhere between, Tool, Avenged Sevenfold and Alter Bridge. The thing is none of these bands use a marshall as their main sound and I am afraid the JMD is not built for that kind of music.
Tonewise I like The Smashing Pumpkins, Alter Bridge, Silversun Pickups, Muse, Avenged Sevenfold and some John Mayer. I think the Peavey is more in the ballpark for the sound, we as a band are aiming for. I haven't tried out any of these amps yet myself but I came here to seek your advice beforehand, what can you tell me? Will the JMD be able to get a good heavy sound?
