I actually do play metal through a Fender head. It's a grey fuzz-covered M-80. Gets a good 80's metal sound as well as a great crunchy death metal sound when in a lower tuning. Loud as hell through my Legend cab too - I've never played it past 5.

I've always said amp reviews are really pretty usless. You have to know what you like to hear so use YOUR ears and decide what YOU like. Tone is personal and subjective...what you like I may think is crap...what I like you may thinh is crap so I really never got the point. reviews are cool for describing the features and such but thats about it.shawnlutz.com

Regarding the Marshall cabs i think that some of the reviews that are written are from people that are also using the Marshal MG series 4 x 12 or Valvestate cabs... If they compared an Avatar to a real JCM cab they would probably think different.

I used to play in a band years ago but had to play bass because the area was flooded with guitarist. I bought a big bad ass 2X15" bass rig and an ernie ball sting ray and I was in like flint. The guitar player in this band had no music theory but he ran a Japanese Fender strat, with a single humbucker, a Floyd and a Boss Heavy metal pedal through a bad ass Marshall head that just sounded (((HUGE))) Through the 4X12 slant cab. Maybe Marshall was made better back then.Last edited by phill_up; 02-15-2008, 11:26 AM.

Here's a guy on ebay that sells some nice cabs. He'll also take offers for 20% lower than his listed price.
Seismic Audio carries a wide variety of Pro Audio Gear. We have everything from speaker mains, bass cabinets, guitar cabinets, rack cases, all kinds of cables including hard to find snake cables. We also stock many parts such as stands, raw woofers, handles, horns, adapters, etc.
I bought one of the 1x15" bass cabs not too long ago, and I'm pretty impressed.I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.

when I review an amp I do my best to describe the sound qualities of it rather of a "Its better than the other amp" or "The other amp does this but this one does this". I kind of touched on that in my review I did on UG, but I don't think it came out too bad:
Crate Vintage Club Amp model VC6112, 60 watts all tubes, two independent channels with controls for gain, bright, treble, mid, mid boost, bass, bass boost switch, master volumn, reverb, and presence for each channel, power light and standby switch, One crate vintage 12" speaker.
But cabs are very hard to review, as they can only be properly reviewed with A/B'd as mentioned.
