Would I be gimping my guitars metal tone if I used this Amp?
My current amp (old fender princeton 65) really sucks hard. It makes random cracks and pops and the tone is just terrible. I just recently within the month bought my new Dean, Dean From Hell.
Im low on money to buy a perfect amp but I can get a brand new Carvin 112 Nomad from a friend for relatively cheap.
The amp is ment for old vintage style tones and blues/classic distortion. Its got a standard big amount of mid and its only knobs in the clean channel are Volume, Bass, Mid, and Trebel (I wouldnt use the distortion since thats evidently very bad for metal sounds). Many reviews I have read have either said that its not for metal tones at all, or that I could get by with the right pedals/mods. However I have no interest in modding any of my pedals or the amp yet.
I currently have a Boss DS-1 Distortion and a digitech death metal pedal, I was wondering if any of you would know if I had those hooked into this vintage amp would I be gimping my tone hardcore, or would I be fine.
From what I can tell the amp is mostly warm and rich in the mids.
But that's not exactly metal and definitely wouldn't bring out all the range of the Bill Lawrence. I would say, if you can, test it out with your pedals and then decide. If you can get it for cheap, it's still a nice tube amp.
