Guitar amps for metal?

6505+ are great amps but probably seriously overpowered if he is thinking of DarkTerror. The H&K Tubemeister36 has a huge sound for something so small, plus they do have a power soak option. Best bet for metal sound is look for something with either EL84s or 34s rather than 6L6s. Few guitarists i know have tried the Laney Ironheart and really disliked the sound although they get rave reviews from some areas.

A used EVH 5150iii 50W model could be found for £600

Amazing amp. I love mine. The blue channel does the perfect cranked Plexi thing (and more) and the red goes to proper brewtalz.

if he's using a rack effects setup then i'd suggest a rack pre/power to go with it, i'm not really up with what preamps would suit but marshall used to make an el84 2x20W power amp that might suit? they did some el34 powered 50/50 and 100/100 amps as well if he wants to go into the building demolition business!
