the problem is the presets arent set up for proper metal. I've made a few good metal and rock tones using reddit forums and such. I've gotten a good slipknot tone, a three days grace kinda tone, a kiss/dio kinda rock tone, and a high gain metal tone. its all about changing the amps and using your own od/ distortion pedals so you can run the metal gate. also btw the first clean I believe has a spring reverb in it, you can take it off.
tone 1 Amp: Super Heavy. Gain - 10 Vol - 8.2 Treble - 10 Middle - 10 Bass - 1.5 Stomp: Blues Drive lvl - 6.0 Gain - 7.2 Tone - 10 Blend - 10 tone 2 Amp: Alt Metal (replica of Mesa boogie) Gain - 7.0 Vol - 8.2 Tre - 7.5 Mid - 9.0 Bass - 5.8 Stomp: Myth Drive Lvl - 6.4 Gain - 7.2 Tre - 10 i use my own od pedal instead and put on a metal gate. also adjust to your own pickups, might need more or less gain/trebel etc
Love these modeling amps! I been playing over 30 years and it is nice to get an amp that can stand alone without a bunch of foot pedals etc.. I have the LT50 and play shows with it, sounds very good considering the price point. We play a lot of 80's rock and metal 🤘 the Metal Lead selection is probably my most used sound
I have the LT25 and it's phenomenal for what it is. It's great as a bedroom or spare room all in 1 amp. The sorta amp you have when you can't get to/use your main gear (if inspiration hits or if you're still working on an idea of what will become a song). Or if you're experimenting with effects and don't wanna drop money on something you'll barely use. For this very specific case, it's great. No, it cannot do metal, it does great clean/blues/old school hard rock though.
@AdultGuitarLearning I've heard really good things about the Vox VT40 something (40 watt 10 inch speaker, with that Nu-tube tech). I used their ToneLab back in the day and found it really good for more Metal stuff. A little more expensive, a little smaller, but might be worth looking into if you're looking for a Jack of All Trades sorta amp
@@Dimefan91 nice nic btw, i ended up with an orange 35rt because it had an effects loop. I got myself a modeler and just use the amp as an easy way to to make noise. The orange sounds great to me, both clean and dirty. Got a real 70's vibe from it.
I'm probably a bit late to the party but you coulld get a multi effects processor and run it through the "super dry clean" channel of the amp and It'd sound decent. Keep at it mate.
Have you tried connecting this amp to the fender tone app? I’m not too sure but there is like an extra 30 presets I believe and there’s more stomp boxes to add to your sounds I think.
@@AdultGuitarLearning Is it that bad? I’ve seen some reviews that think it’s really good but some think it’s really bad. So I don’t know who to believe here.
The LT50 is a cheap beginner's amp. It's just NOT a chugger's amp. I own the GTX-100 amongst others. It's an awesome practice & bedroom-use amp, but I have comfortably gigged with it.
@@captainhindsight4206 the biggest issue is that it's such a PITA to get anything decent. I got rid of it and got an Orange 35RT with a Tone Master Pro.
@@basarat Thanks! I saw that and the price point between the orange and the katana was over $100. I dont need anything that fancy, just a good clean tone

Sure thing. I feel like it was just a "jack of all trades" situation. Good clean sound when i could find it, but otherwise just meh.

I've already returned it and got an orange 35rt and a fender tone master for the effects!
I bought an older VOX vt50 amp, and I play it way more than my Marshal stack. The VOX just sounds incredible!
thank you for the rec. I ended up getting an orange 35rt. it's insanely loud and has an effects loop. no other amp of that size did
@@AdultGuitarLearning I heard good things about them. Good luck.

I ended up returning it and getting an orange. The fender did not sound good on any channel. The orange is a huge step up for the same price

@@harryjmtmusic That's up to you, but both my wife and I said it sounded very hallow and tin-like. No depth.

Yep, i know that now. at the time i wasn't sure i wanted to take it seriously, but 2 weeks in and I hate the sound, Its already been returned.
it can chug if you set it up right, I got a pretty good slipknot tone. like a duality type tone.

In general, Fender and metal crunch do not go together.
LOL I learned that the hard way. I got an Orange :D
@@AdultGuitarLearningI think Orange and Blackstar do that ok.
You need a tube amp and learn how to play
Trying my best to practice and learn every day.
Get a Katana ❤
I ended up with an orange 35rt because it had an effects loop
@ great choice 🌹
Just for info (you probably know, but others might not), Katana 100 and above also have an effects loop 🔁
