Looks like crap.. most likely is crap.

For that money you can get a REAL amp.

oh wow...

a mode four is 350w(s.s. of course) and a dsl100(100w tube) is pretty much just as loud AND sounds much better. for the same price.

i don't know if ths is any good or if it's just another lame attemp at a nu metal amp...

it's sad how many nu metal amps have came out recently, especially when nu metal has been out of styel for some time now.

the warp 7 and warp T buy h&k, the mode four, the el diablo, crate shockwave, ect..

and pretty much all the nu metal bands swear by rectos anyways.

Sure, it can be used for nu-metal but so could any amp. I wouldnt really say an amp can be defined as a nu-metal amp.

I play death metal out of my crate shockwave and it sounds surprisingly good.

Pat O'brien uses a mesa triple recto but that doesnt define CC as nu-metal

i never said those amps sucked or that all they could do is the nu metal sound, or that you're nu metal if you play one.

but c'mon guys... read the little descriptions... h&k is telling you the warp stuff is made for 7 strings and detuned guitars with thick scoopy distortion.

alot of those amps kick ass, don't get me wrong, but i don't see why these brands are making amps specifically for a style of music that is dying fast.

Not saying they can't, but when Fender makes a high-gain metal amp and names it "METAL HEAD", then you kinda think that it might suck.

I guess the instrument companies got quite a profit from the nu-metal/alternative trend for a couple of years. Maybe their trieing to revive it because their scared profits will drop?

BTW, am I the only one who finds it a bit ironic that a manufactor know for its ultra-clean amps is now selling a wannabe-high gain amp?
