I play boozy blues on a Soloist through a Hughes & Kettner.

I fart into my pickups

I'd like drums that sound like different household and industrial items.

I'll have you know I frequently use my Digitech Whammy as an overdrive pedal.

I've been called worse.
Do I get to give you a nickname too?
Of course I do...

I use WLHs for post hardcore punk, they work like a charm.

The only inadequate part of my rig is me.

I'll see your "self" and raise you a set of three-year-old strings.

There is no excuse for playing metal on a Strat or Tele with a stock output Tele or Strat pickup . If you do, then may God have mercy on your soul. There are so many great dedicated drop in replacement metal pickups that can go into a stock Strat or Tele ( the best of which are Duncan and Dimarzios-but you can find cheap adequate high output pickups ) IMHO, you must be mad or broke to play metal on a stock Tele or Strat with a stock output Fender pickup.
That said, I don't bring a 16 inch chainsaw to cut down a redwood tree. If I want Metal, I'm bringing a dedicated metal guitar with dedciated metal Humbuckers.I'm talkign modern metal. Not that you have to ..use what you got, but I don't bring a knife to a gunfight.

The best metal tones I've heard came from an AV '52 Tele into a Mesa Triple Rectifier! The clarity of low out pickups with a hi-gain amp is the shiznit!

just watched a guy play a parker fly through a hiwatt doing folky americana last night. kinda weird but it sounded fine. not quite as nice as the other guitarist with his vintage gretsch through a deluxe reverb but still pretty nice

I use my ears, though they are so inaccurate.

I am the total opposite of your thread title.

I have gear WAY beyond my abilities as a player. But man! Those three chords sound GREAT!
