I am interested in this amp but it is nearly impossible to find a shop with one in stock or find clips of it (apart from the Gutherie ones).

I am trying to gauge how much gain it has on tap, can it handle metallica (black album) levels ?. Obviously I don't expect it to sound the same tonally.

How best describes the tone ?

Thanks

A thick meaty tone akin to Led zepplin 4 with a darker coffee edge

Help at all?

appreciate the response, not really a zep fan but I'm sure I have that album at home, will have a listen. Doesn't appear to be what I would class as metal though.

Have you got a Hellcat ?

If you ever find out where to try one of these babies out let me know, is was thinking of getting one too!

I'm fairly sure Andertons in Guildford had one last time I was in there.

Also saw one in Guitar Works in Reading...

The MK50H is supposed to be capable of massive amounts of modern-sounding gain and the Hellcat is a hotter amp than that (I think!).

If all else fails you can get loads of useful info from the gear reviews at www.harmony-central.com (though obviously nothing beats hunting one down for yourself!)
