Re: good metal amp?

I literally have no idea. I bought it from a guy who said he bought it brand new in 1986 and that he hasent changed anything on it except the strings. Its impossible to find any info on these guitars and i even sent an email to bc rich and i havent heard back from them yet. I havent taken it in or anything to find out what kind of pickups they are and im afraid to open in myself since im kinda a noob when it comes to guitars. all i got right now is a silvertone 10 watt and an acoustic 30 watt and when i played on the silvertone it sounded pretty alright but you could tell something was off.

It's fairly easy to ID pickups. Loosen the strings as much as you can, unscrew the four corner screws holding the rings and lift it straight up and then look on the bottom for any markings.

OR, take off the back electronics cover, and check the wires. If the wires coming from the pickup cavities are any color other than black (or braided wire), IE blue, red, or yellow, they're stock OEM and probably junk.

mostly in the bedroom and at home.

Peavey's new Vypyr VIP series has some great metal tones for a small amount of money. They've got a new generation coming soon that will sound even better.

Look into the small wattage Krank amps ?

took it to Sam Ash. They thought the wood is Alder and the pickups are Dimarzio Designed.

Seriously, for bedroom jamming, a Roland MicroCube will do you just fine. It'll fill a room with sound and keep up with whatever mp3s you blast through your PC/Phone-linked speaker setup.

You're not in a situation that requires anything more than preamp-only gain. You won't be able to fully enjoy tube-tone or cab resonance or speaker-pushing at bedroom volume, so stick with the Vox, or go with a MicroCube or other non-tube does-it-all amp.
