Get an original little pignose & run through it as a pre for your fender - It'll sound great (but not hypermetallic red sorry).

It might do it if he is using a pedal to get most of his distortion and he has all the mids sucked out. I've had people come in here with their pedals tweaked like that. It sounded like the speakers crapped out no matter which (known good) cabinet I ran it through.soundchaser59 said:

I seriously doubt anybody actually reads the entire thread anymore. We've already stated using a small fender combo amp in a band practice setting is not the best, or even a good choice for metal. You need a real amp with real tube distortion. Most likely, he's running a mediocre pedal with the mids scooped and the bass/treble way up and trying to turn it as loud as he can. Most metal guitarists go through that stage (I did!). It takes a while for one to really understand where great metal tone comes from. It's the mids that really add balls and loudness to the sound. Scooping them out makes it much, much harder for a single- or dual-speaker cabinet to cut through the mush of the other instruments, especially at high-volume.
He needs a half-stack, preferably with tubes instead of solid-state crap.
