Amazing, really. All the options we have these days. Personally, I prefer the traditional good tube amp, maybe a Tube Screamer, some eq, etc. But I can appreciate the innovation and experimentation done here. 🙂👍🏻
Pedals, guitars, pickups, even amps, make hardly any difference at all in metal. It’s all about the cab or IR. Everything else is minor details. You can literally use a squire strat into metal zone into a Crown power amp, and through the right cab, it’ll still work.
