I think it's about time to get a new amp. Is the mg100hdfx amp head good? Oh and I play death/black/thrash/speed/power metal(core simetimes). Thanks in advance dudes STAY METAL

Peavey valve king is affordable and will do the trick. unless you have a true need for a head and 4x12 bottom you may want to consider a combo as they are a little more versitile (and not as heavy). your best bet is to try any amp you're looking at and see how it sounds. if it sounds good to you than thats all that matters.

Marshall tube amps are of course great but very expensive. also consider the Marshall AVT series. they are hybrids (tube preamp solid state power section) as they will give a better sound.

Actually in the greek forum wich (no offense) has way more members i have 4 stars from 5 so i wouldb't consider myself a guitar god but neither a newbie. Anyway i need a big and f*****g loud amp because the venue is kinda big...

Mon is right, Peavey Valveking 212... Roland cube 30's are very metal The Cube 60's are very metal as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MR4xJysSZzA That was only on 4 1/2 and if that doesn't have a good metal tone i dont know what does

Can i have links to the valveking on thomann or something please? gotta say that guitar and amp are a package deal. yeah a good amp will make an ok guitar sound as good as it can. sorry but the pacifica you have while a good beginner guitar really isn't gig worthy. the pickups in it will sound thin thru a big amp and won't give you killer tone. not saying that you'd have to spend a fortune on another guitar but its worth some more thought. i have a cheap ibanez that i use to noodle on while watching tv and believe me you can hear the difference between it and my better guitars when plugged into one of my good amps. my strat has more balls than the ibanez if that tells you something. oh the forum is a couple of years old. we're trying i've been here a couple of months and have done whta i can to give people a reason to come back.
