Lets say on a budget of $2000, I need a metal amp loud enough for gigging. Which would be better?
And I am talking about head and cab.

Depends on the tech. You'd have to phone and ask.Stratocaster said:would any guitar store be able to give the bias mod? like LA music/long n mquade/ guitar shop?

On the other hand, FJA mods only charges $70 US for the mod, and offers a bunch of other mods as well. I'd look into buying a used 5150 off of ebay from the states, sending it to Jerry, and having him ship it to you. Probably end up cheaper than buying one new in Canada and having a local tech do the work.

Ya, lots of groups use them (from new metal like you mentioned, to old metal like Skid row, trixter), which always surprises me. Not b/c they arent great amps, but I would've thought it was a no-no as a professional musician to use another musicians signature models. Signature models always suggest a bit of a fanboy/wanna be thing to me.It should be noted that Enslaved use the 5150/6505 and they have an amazing sound.
New metal, black metal, death metal, metal core, deth core, thrash metal, power metal, speed metal, etc, etc. Its all the same to me.:rockon2:It's Black Metal.
I'm not sure I completely understand the definition of the "core" stuff but on Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalcore) they list eaxamples like Killswitch Engage and Bullet for my Valentine, which I think are pretty good groups. Not sure how they differ from thrash though. Back to the original topic: Both these groups at one point used 5150/6505's.Black metal's origins are mostly anti-religion but a lot of bands that are considered "black metal" are not really anti-religion. However, it has the same sort of sound with the raunchy vocals instead of low growls and also has melodic bits to it with clean vocals or just a different type of guitar sound.
Death metal is more like a heavy chugga with low growly vocals and sometimes very weird vocals including inhaling.
New or "nu" metal ............... I dunno. You can understand it more though. Bands like KoRn, Slipknot and Disturbed.
Thrash metal is stuff like Kreator.
The other stuff, I dunno. That "core" stuff sounds kinda stupid.
Are you serious?? Wow, you need to listen to some more metal if you can't tell the difference between those genres.New metal, black metal, death metal, metal core, deth core, thrash metal, power metal, speed metal, etc, etc. Its all the same to me.:rockon2:
