Top 5 Metal Amps

This article on Gear-Vault has awesome information about the top 5 amps for heavy metal and hard rock: http://www.gear-vault.com/top-5-amps-peavey-5150-6505/

I never realized that there were so many hard rock and metal amps. The article states that hard rock and metal guitar players must buy a lot of amps since there are so many amps marketed to those players.

I'm not surprised that Marshall is considered number one since it is an iconic brand. I'm also not surprised that the Peavey 5150/6505 and the Mesa Boogie Dual/Triple Rectifiers are on there. Both pack a lot of punch and an awesome metal/hard rock tone.

PRS SE Torero: Great Value for Metalheads, Hardrockers and Anyone Who Loves High-Gain

The other day I had the chance to play a PRS SE Torero electric guitar in red through a Engl POWERBALL E 645 amp head and Marshal cabinet. It had a great sound and a great feel to it.

When one picks up the SE Torero they will notice the inherent quality of the guitar. As soon as I touched the guitar I noticed the smooth fretboard which is great for shredding along with the comfortable contour along the body. Both had a nice modern feel to them. Not to mention it also has a nice finish. When I plugged it in to the high-gain channel of the Powerball the emg active pickups really screamed metal. I played some old thrash songs on the guitar and made sure there was a good amount of gain, the song had an amazing tone that was great for heavy metal. Chords and scales are synch to play on this guitar with its thin neck. As I held it in my hands I kept thinking to myself, is this a Korean made guitar? Yes it is, but it is an amazing one given the price range and the value you receive for your purchase. With the value of the guitar and the sound that it creates, the PRS SE Torreo is a great guitar for those who cannot afford anything too expensive. What's even better is it comes with EMG pickups which will satisfy any high-gain player.

Fender American Special Stratocaster HSS Review

There were many new instruments and amplifiers that appeared at NAMM 2010. Many of the companies present had a treat for those who love high gain. Fender had a really great one in particular. They introduced the Fender American Special Stratocaster HSS for those who love the feel, shape, and tone, of an American Fender Stratocaster with a humbucker in the bridge position. This is perfect for someone who wants a stratocaster suited for anyone who loves high-gain. As an added bonus it comes at a street price of $799.99. This instrument is a steal with its affordable price along with great features and sound.
