Is this a good high gain amplifier for Slipknot &amp; other metal sounds?

It's doable but I would look for something else and a higher range like Blackstar

It depends more on the sensitivity rating of the speakers (like, 90db at 1 watt/1 meter), and how loud you need it to be. For typical home theater bookshelf speakers, this amp is enough power for small rooms or enough power to supply background music in a larger room. The distortion increases pretty rapidly once you get over 10W peak output though, so the louder you need it, the worse its going to sound if you need more than about ~80db power at more than 2-3 meters away. Just keep in mind - if you're using this to upgrade from tiny computer speakers or the built in speakers on a TV, its already a lot more power than those systems are capable of, but a lot less power than a well built home theater receiver. tldr version: Its probably enough, but I don't have enough details about what you're using it for to be sure.

I do not know , it depends on what set up you are using. I use all fender amps on a clean channels and then us pedals for the sound I want. I know I can get a David gilmour sound and a deep chugging sound great for heavy metal. I am still exploring this pick up, but it is the best single coil I have ever used in the bridge.

This is a nice little amp, but it's probably not the right one for your needs. Technically, you could use it for metal... but I think you'd consider it a bit underpowered for that style of music.

The best amp I heard with the HE500's was the Schiit Mjolnir balanced amp. It was a dramatic improvement over the Lyr.

Ya know I don't know. I use it as a rack studio amp for my "guitar room" It is a great amp for that. I usually run the volume just over half on each side and control the volume from my Eleven Rack. Great amp and an excellent price. If you are going to use it for stereo equipment you'll need some way to "pre-amp" it. As for it's quality it is great and I've not noticed any distortion at all.

I'm not sure of the specs of that amp but I can tell you the low end absolutely sucks at 20 RMS. Loose, muddy and by my ears sound like cheap paper blowing in the wind. However, I still used them after placing a crossover in line for highs only. Clean tweeter With little ear fatuge. If I may recommend two alternatives...Infinity kappa are a well rounded speaker design and my first choice for balanced sound reproduction. If you like a little more tight bass Pyle has some great two ways. I hope that helps, but your ears are your best guide.

I'm assuming you have something like a RISA Solidbody. If you do, this will work decently well. You may not be amazed by the tone (It's a piezo pickup, but it's designed for magnetic coil sound...) but it will sound relatively good. There's a Vox amPlug acoustic simulator which will sound better, but it's slightly more expensive. Neither is a bad investment. VOX APAG AmPlug Acoustic Guitar Headphone Amplifier

Yeah. It's a good buy. I have it running a pair of kicker 6x9's and a pair of kicker 5 1/4' s it sounds way better then stock. Just the amp has no low/high pass filter which truly is a flaw

This amp is not really set up for that kind of stuff. It's just a single channel straight ahead one trick pony. It's a great little practice amp with fair tone and volume but as far as streaming goes you would need something else. It takes pedals really well, but in the end it's "just" a small guitar amp, old school all the way.

I haven't done extensive testing. I use this with bookshelf speakers and it sounds significantly better than other digital amps I've tried with this same setup.

Unbalanced standard RCA's and USB. The gain will depend on the tubes you put in it, I replaced the cheap russian tubes with 6AK5's from tubedepot

Sorry for the late response. Just tried it with a bass and bass amp. It's functional, there was some ground buzz when I turned the level up. Probably because of my setup. I don't know if you'll get that Metallica sound, but the pedal definitely works.

The advice from Henry is what I'd say and do. 4 Channel amp adjusted to your liking should sound good.

No,I don't think it's a good amp at all,lots of feedback, not a lot of power, you need to go bigger or better.
