The price of a 25w amp. It was decent and I thought the settings looked decent. Its not horrible but just not for metal. There's other amps I looked at but for some reason I picked that? I had a line 6 spider amp years ago and just wanted to try something different. For some reason I thought it would be similar.

The good news in all of this is that you refine your knowledge about what you like. Nothing wrong with an 8" speaker, but you have to be realistic about what you can get out of it. Small amps can be great, but for great metal tone, the amp is most of the sound.Administrator of the SDUGF

It is way too easy to make it sound like a slightly different brand of a Metal Zone clone. Whatever amp model you use, try dialing the gain down and the volume up. Keep in mind that you have both a preset volume (knob/menu) and a master volume (knob only). The 8-inch speaker lacks a certain midrange body at low volumes (and probability at very high volumes if you play it at the upper limit of its dynamic capabilities). Play with the EQ (especially the 5-band) and focus on taming the bass and keeping the mids strong, as lower volumes tend to let them collapse into the quagmire of flubby, exaggerated bass.

Not usually no. I play at low volumes 9 times out of 10. I have turned it up to three quarters to max or a little more but there's just to many people in my home and I try not to irritate my girlfriend with the loud noise. I play at a comfortable volume I would say. The amp is quality in my opinion just not enough gain. I use the metal 2000 amp and tweak that or the heavy one and that almost does it but its just not like my older amps I've owned years ago. I barely remember what ther are anymore but I think they were a peavy vypyr 30w and before that my first amp was a line 6 but I don't remember what size or anything like that. The peavy was my favorite but that was years ago and I had taken a break from guitar for about 7 years. My girlfriends son kinda got me back into it all.
