Members Nebakenezzer Posted March 22, 2013 Members Share Posted March 22, 2013 Hey, Im in the army right now so my paycheck isnt all that fantastic (korea too, might get nuked) and I want a new setup. Currently I have handmedown crap, a fender starcaster (yes hah, better then what my dad bought me though) a small crate amp thats busted and doesnt play full tone range anymore, a line6 pocket pod, loop pedal and wah pedal.Ive been trying to learn to play metal but I can't get the sound I want. Looking for a sound along these lines I have a price range of about 1600-1800Im talking guitar, pick-ups, amp, pedals, everything (if you include pedals in your post Id be willing to extend that range quite a bit.)Thanks from overseas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kit_strong Posted March 22, 2013 Members Share Posted March 22, 2013 If you are living in the baracks and strictly looking for something to play in your room then I would take a seriousl look at the Yamaha THR-10x for your amp needs. For something a bit larger I would think a Blackstar HT-5 or HT-20 would be a good plavce to start or even something from the Blackstar ID line. Any of those would give you plenty left over for a decent guitar. And there are so mnay options there I don't know where to start. Plenty of good offerings from Ibanez, Schecter, Yamaha, ESP, or perhaps a Gibson exlploerer. My weapon of choice would probably be a railhammer equipped Reverend Bayonet or Kingbolt Another option for the amp/pedals need would be to get a Line 6 HD500 or a Boss GT-1000 along with some powerred monitors. I have the HD500 myself and am quite satisfied with the tones I can get from it. -Kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PRS_JRW Posted March 22, 2013 Members Share Posted March 22, 2013 A lot of less expensive guitar brands are being used by the pros in metal music. Try something from Schecter. I recommend 7 strings, seriously, instead of tuning an E to B, get a 7 string and tune it down to A. If you can get past the fugly headstock, Carvin makes a 7 string and you can customize it completely. PRS is releasing a Custom 24 7 string SE model.For amps, as suggested, the Blackstar is realy great. Mesa's triple rectifier was the choice of metal for a while, but Randall is excellent too.Good luck over there. Come home safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
