Quick backstory:
I use to play guitar a bit and learned how to do runs on and play some songs years ago, but I've only ever used a Strat and I always wanted to get great metal tones but didn't know how. I mostly played on a practice amp back in the day.
I'm gunna list the tones from light to heaviest lol
1: biting/crunchy/thick
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEJK5aUz9Ps
(this guitar tone, it's like biting, thick)
I like both the Lead playing, and the rythme guitar tone in back (see 4th song for similar rythm tone)
2: heavier/more distortion/biting
https://youtu.be/i73GVDCpeA4?t=18
(this is similar, but more distortion / heavyer compression?, it's like a metal version of the top tone?)
3: heaviest/thick/compressed/chugging
https://youtu.be/vCRbwD29AAw?t=47
(this is heaviest tone out of the lot, seems like an even more heavier version? lol)
4:
(this is SAME rhythme guitar tone as top song but in a different song)

Are these songs all using similar amps?
any idea what Amps / Pedals would be used to get these tones? Or what kind of guitar / pickups I'd need?
Like, are they using a harmonizer for the lead tone in first song? An OD pedal?
Are they using OD or Distortion pedals for any of the tones?
Which amp does this sound similar too? Marshal amp, Peavy?
I'm thinking of buying an alderwood yamaha pacifica guitar with Seymour custom 5 pickups in bridge, and a P90 in neck. I got a good deal on it thats why...
but would something like a Mahogony body with a SD JB4 be better?
do pickups make that much of a difference, maybe replacing the SD Custom 5 with a SD JB4 in the yamaha alderwood guitar would do it, or SD Nazgul pickup (or would that be too brutal?)
I'm under the impression that different woods / pickups sound different together
I just want to make sure I pick a good guitar that can get me the tones I want this time. I'm up for any brand, Ibanez/ESP is cool.
But I'm thinking the Wood used and the Pickups make a major difference in the sound?
I'm also thinking of getting a ToneX Pedal, but not sure yet, everyones raving about it lol
