Hello. A metalhead here.

Well, I played on it with a normally tuned 6 stringed axe.
conclusion:
I WASN'T impressed at all!

Maybe because the Warp 7 is more built and tuned towards 7 string-guitars, I dunno.

The thing sounds fake. Even a Line6 Flextone II sounds way better AND has more tonal options. I think they cost about the same.
Other ''great'' options for cool metalsound:
-Marshall JCM2000 TSL 100(head) or 122(combo).
-Peavey 5150 II (!) not the older version.

If you decide to go on a Amp Modeler-FX-box + amp, skip tube amps. I found out that with my Boss GT-3, transistor amps (especially Roland Jazz Chorus JC-120) work best.
Tube amps make the already simulated sounds more muddy.
But tube amps on their own sound way better.
