I really like learning & playing metallica songs on guitar, but it kinda erritates me when I don't get the right sound out of my amp. What amp would be good for playing metallica songs at home, and getting a good sound?
Answer
XYZ is correct about you not needing a big amp at home. I play predominately heavy metal and my choice of at home amp is a Peavey ValveKing Royal 8. I have replaced the stock speaker with a Celestion Super 8 and changed the tubes to my preference but otherwise the amp was left stock. This may only be a 5 watt amp but it is incredibly loud and the addition of a distortion pedal like the Boss MZ-2 that I use and you pretty much nail the Metallica sound. Make sure you drive it with a distortion pedal, not a overdrive or fuzz pedal because they won't give you the sound you want. When you get some more cash grab a delay pedal to fill the sound out a bit and then buy a wah so you can butcher solos like Kirk Hammet.
