Fender Metalhead

[danglybanger]

...are they mythical?

I've heard nothing good about them... then again I've not heard anyone bash em. As a matter of fact I've never heard someone mention one.

So it's another one of those things where Fender puts out a new product and skips the marketting...

Regardless of that, anyone try one? How do they sound?

Re: Fender Metalhead

Re: Fender Metalhead

At 500W SS they are LOUD (+/- 50W valve ?)

I have not played on one, but i did hear an early20's guy play on one, and he absoloutly nailed some of the Korn tones !!!

Never heard the cleansd, but this things tone can get seriously filthy very fast !!!

Don't know if it is true, but i read a few times that this amp doeas the job wht it was made for better than the Marshall Mode4 . . .

. . . HC User Review might be able to tell us something - if you believe what those guys say !

Re: Fender Metalhead

Sounds waaaaaaaaaaay Sterile and it's as loud as triple Rec!You find some era protection in the package included!
I don't care for them.They wanted to take Mode4 and Randall down.But both did not happen!
Who cares ,i would pass!

Re: Fender Metalhead

I played a Hello Kitty Squier through it, it gave me a feeling of immense "badassness" I didn't really mind the sound at all actually.

That's the problem dude.You get it with a randall combo and mode 4 too.But when you begin to play leads ,nice bendings ,harmonis..it's like a cd player.No life ,no reaction.Like Line6 HD 147.Badass ,loud as hell ,ultra tught and ballsy.But no life!
I wouldn't like to sleep with a nice looking Cyborg.I prefer real women :chairfall :chairfall :chairfall .or maybe half-half (Valvetronix :chairfall )

Re: Fender Metalhead

They destroy the Mode 4, a Randall would cremate it though.

Good amp, just overpriced by about 500 dollars.

Yup, Randall kills all for crunch. I kinda wish Randall would make a "crunch in a box" floor pedal.

Are 'we' talking about the Randall V2's & T2's here ???

Re: Fender Metalhead

I know they're solid state and I read some bad things in this thread, but I still want one.

Re: Fender Metalhead

this thread made me gag. Fender should stick to tube combos under 60 watts.

Re: Fender Metalhead

I played one, I have never played a worse sounding amp. Buzzy, generic, pissy tone. The clean....holy crap the clean. Sounded crappy as a marshall mg cranked.

Re: Fender Metalhead
