This is a nice little amp head that sounds pretty good for the discounted price. It is very loud and suitable for metal. Sounds good through a guitar cabinet with Celestion V30. It is not an amp that will cover many stiles, clean sound is almost inexistent, but it does what it says on the box- Metal! The gain is immense, so you can chug without the need of adding pedals, but as consequence and as it does not have an in-built noise gate, it is also very noisy particularly when you pass 2/3 of the gain knob. Still a great buy at Thomman 's price.
