Members Burningleaves Posted February 15, 2008 Members Share Posted February 15, 2008 I can get some pretty heavy "Sabbathy" tones from my PV-C30 and some pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tonedover Posted February 15, 2008 Members Share Posted February 15, 2008 my fender cyber 2x12 is loud as {censored}. oh and if you are gonna flame the cyber, you should try it before you knock it... so piss off... sounds great at many settings, you just have to learn to play with the settings correctly! anyways, with that out of the way.... Am I to infer that the Original Poster is thinking one cannot create proper "metal" tone from a combo?? um, try any fender (with good overdrive pedal), line 6, or marshal tube combo at your local store and find out.....

Members curseoftruth Posted February 15, 2008 Members Share Posted February 15, 2008 Might want to think about if you are going to play with a band or not. Combos are great for the occasional get together or if you just jam by yourself at home. Add another guitarist, a bassist, and a loud drummer -- then a singer through a PA and start playing some serious metal or doom and the combo gets buried in the mix really fast, they don't have the headroom in most situations. A head and 2x12 is great and you can always add a 2x12 to give you the full 4x12. That was a good suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members noisebloom Posted February 16, 2008 Members Share Posted February 16, 2008 Absolutely no shame in getting a combo. A nice 30w combo like an Orange AD30 can bring the noise in spades. There's no rule that in order to be heavy you need a stack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hshaitan Posted February 16, 2008 Members Share Posted February 16, 2008 I have a Nomad 45 and play some heavier stuff occasionally. It's not your average tone, but it's still freaking awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members curseoftruth Posted February 16, 2008 Members Share Posted February 16, 2008 I play metal and doom on my Roland Microcube, just won't work with my band. You can play metal on anything with the right pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hard Truth Posted February 16, 2008 Members Share Posted February 16, 2008 I have a 100w Peavey from the 1970s that is pretty similar to a twin reverb. I replaced the two 12" Peavey speakers with one EV speaker which made it sound better and louder. I can definitely pass the threshold of pain with it and stay fairly clean. (if I want to) I don't see the need for anything bigger than 100w and a twelve inch. If you need to be louder you can always mic it and run it through the venues PA system.

Members Help!I'maRock! Posted February 16, 2008 Members Share Posted February 16, 2008 we don't play really heavy music, but sometimes i need a really convincing heavy distortion. i'll either use my Mesa Boogie Subway Rocket or an MI Audio Tube Zone into my Allen Encore. lately, its been pedals -> allen because the reverb and tremolo have become a major part of my sound.

Members TwinDad Posted February 16, 2008 Members Share Posted February 16, 2008 Play through a Fender 1963 Vibroverb Reissue with 2-Weber 10" speakers. That's why I own so many distortion pedals and high output pickups. Mainly Metal Music!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
