Sorry I can't help you out with this question. I purchased these as a gift and do not know what they are being used for at this time.

I got quite a few usable sounds with mine. Just takes some time adjusting tone. Make sure your guitar is sending a good signal....string height above pickups...etc. You might try a preamp or a wah wah in front of the D-1.

I think it will give you the sound you want. I used it on Avenged Seven Fold tunes

the PA Gothic i have the 4500 and it hits so ****ing hard but you should get the 6000 haha its around 180-200 bucks its really worth the money and you get a lot of thump for your buck poweracoustik.com/store/products/amplifiers/gothic-gt.html

Depends on music type. The bass is nice. Electronic music sounds real nice. Rock/metal could use some work.

Yes, utilizing the power sponge knob (all the way up) and finding a setting with decent distortion will create a heavy sound that the metal/punk genre is known for. This amp still features a wide setting of distorted, and clean settings, so this amp can handle it all.

Eric, go with the Rockford Fosgate Prime 250x1 mono block amp. It has a very small footprint, very affordable, and these amps, in my opinion, are still one of the best on the market. These amps are always underrated, come with an actual RMS rating tested by the manufacturer, and will be plenty of power to push a 10" sub. It will not disappoint.

Unfortunately I got it as a father's day gift for my dad,and we haven't really played much rock or heavy metal through it,but it works well with Reggae..It might just be an experimental experience at first,until you figure out the right settings for it.I know I wasn't able to offer much help,but I hope that you will be able to find the right settings for it.

Have a listen to the Arcam amps. They are a good match. The Nad line is also a good fit. I am using two nuforce mono blocks and have no complaints. It's worth getting a quality DAC.

Hey man, so I think these headphones are more suited for edm style music. But, they still sound pretty great for other genres of music. The bass sounds a little too strong for my taste in rock and metal but if that's something you like by all means get them. I would recommend trying them out before you purchase them to see if they fit your preference, check online quite a few electronic stores carry them.

I think it would be fine for vocals. you can dial all sorts of different reverb times so a nice cathedral sound would be awesome on vocals. Depending the song of course. Even if you want to get crazy use the shimmer effect on her voice. I'll bet that would sound bad ass.

Hi Peter, you shouldn't have a problem getting that sound. The Vox comes with three tape echo settings, two of which would give you that 'classic' sound. However, the Strymon would be the alternative for you if you need to dial in specific parameters. Here's a video showing you the difference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpXqGvFLnUM

Only if you want terrific sound. I have different settings on my Sony receiver, anddepending on your source of music(pandora, streaming, or Bluetooth, some only use lpcm frequencies. So some music sounds better with a 5.1 setting, while other formats sound richer with 2.1 which sends an LFE (low frequency signal to Sub. Its about preference. But with these speakers I never overwork my amp and get plenty of volume without distortion. The center channel speaker is also awesome. Cheapest price is amazon. Might have to wait a few days/5...youll be glad you did.

Yes, but if you do any really low tuned songs, like D Drop C; you may want to look into the NMCE-11 DR NEON Electric Heavy, multi-color.

its definitely got clear tone but im not too sure what sludge is im sure it will fit the bill for any metal genre your thinking of. if not the guitar is quite cheap and you can always install a different humbucker set that works for you

Absolutely. I'd recommend setting your amp on a nice clean tone, then you can let'er rip.

These are more for playing Metal/Hard Rock songs. If you plan to play that type of genre then these will do fine.

They do well with rock music. Metal like Dimmu is kind of lost in these. You will love the ear buds for everything else. They are super clear, crisp, and not super bass heavy. Don't get me wrong, you will definately hear bass but you hear everything else as well.

That's what it does best, as far as the gain channel goes. The range that it covers without much tweaking is between the Clapton style overdrive and say, Judas Priest style 80's metal. More subtle than that and you'll need a boost in front of the clean channel (which it actually handles well). If you want something more brutal, stick a pedal in front. Just remember that it's a 1x12 combo and not a thiele cab.
