As for metal, yeah, they can handle it. The gain knob on the drive channel combined with the ISF knob can make it go from Led Zeppelin to Metallica. The clean channel can do Hendrix (think little wing) to RHCP and with the gain all the way up can get some good crunch tones. It's incredibly versatile.

Yes, Jet City amps are good, but it depends on what kind of music you are playing if it will suit your needs. If you can't mic your amp when playing live, you might want to look at something with more headroom than a 20W amp if you are going for a clean sound.

They make very good quality amps, and are made to mate very well with Paradigm speakers. ... I'm sure there are many amps out there that would also sound good with the Paradigms. You can't go wrong with Anthem. There are many Anthem owners here, maybe they aren't posting much since they are enjoying their systems.

You can, but keyboard amps are not designed to enhance the mid-range frequencies of a guitar or add any color or texture to the guitar tone. Secondly, keyboard amps amplify a flat and clear signal compared to a regular guitar amp.

Yes, Peavey amps are good. They're built like a tank and can handle a lot of abuse. Sonically there are better amps out there, but to quote the quote which has been so overused in this forum, "They're the best bang for the buck".

Yes, you can. It won't hurt the guitar or the amp, and people do it all the time. Even some of the most notable artists have used an electric amp for their acoustic guitar. ... But if you want to get the purest sound of your acoustic guitar, then the answer is no.

Why Are Bass Amps So High Wattage Compared to Guitar Amps? ... Bass amps generally need more power than guitar amps partly for psychoacoustic reasons, and partly due to the way in which low-frequency sound waves are reproduced. In some cases, the way the power ratings are spec'd out can be the difference.

The response is good for a digital amp, while the tone available is fantastic when you remember it is coming out of something so cheap and small. The tones never really sound artificial, and while it lacks the convincing softness of a true tube amp, this makes it really good for your heavier playing.

Nearly all guitar pedals can be used for any amplifier regardless if it's valve, modeling, or a hybrid amp. You can run guitar pedals through the primary input of the amp or individual pedals into the 'effects loop' (usually reverb, delays, modulation) depending on the effect and the player's preference.

However, while the amps can achieve some blistering tones they can also be used in a variety of genres beyond aggressive rock and metal music. Of course hitting the stage, most would be superficial here and select a 100-watt Rockerverb in the backdrop with as many Orange 4×12 cabinets that can fit on stage.

When using more than one speaker with your amp the equivalent overall impedance changes depending on how the speakers are wired. You can wire multiple speakers "in series," "in parallel" or in a combination of the two wiring configurations ("series/parallel").

The amp and the speaker are actually two separate components. In a head and cabinet setup, the head is the actual guitar amplifier itself. The cabinet is only a box that houses the speaker or speakers. You can't use an amp head without a cabinet – you need both components.

A better amp will make your speakers play louder and sound better, but it won't make bad speakers sound like good speakers. Many speakers have a "maximum wattage rating" on the back. ... High-end amplifier companies make amps with more than 1,000 watts, and you could plug in a $50 speaker into it with no problem.

PA speaker will certainly sound good, they will be loud, and they will handle lots of power, but they will not sound as good as HiFi speakers. But, again, 'not as good' shouldn't be interpreted as bad; PA speakers, assuming you've chosen reasonably good ones, will still sound good.
