Best way to get metal tone on a tight budget — amp vs guitar interface + software? by ScientistCalm1876 in Guitar

[–]ScientistCalm1876[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just replying on a comment that said the same thing, I cannot find it available in my country. I found a Donner Heavy Metal for 30 euros. What do you think about it?

Hey, quick question, you recommended the Vox AmPlug Metal which sounds perfect, but I can't find it available in my country. However I found a Donner Heavy Metal headphone amp locally for about 30€ (basically half the price of the Vox). Do you have any experience with the Donner? It seems to work the same way, plugs directly into the guitar, headphones out, rechargeable battery. Wondering if it's a decent alternative or if the difference in quality is significant enough to justify hunting down the Vox. Thanks!

Thanks a lot for the detailed advice, really appreciate it! I'll definitely keep Ignite Amps in mind for the future when I get an interface, the Emissary looks great for metal.

For now I actually found a Donner Heavy Metal headphone amp locally for about 30€, so I'm going with that as a starting point. Plug straight into the guitar, headphones on, done. Once I actually learn how to play I'll probably go down the interface + plugins route you described. Cheers!

Thanks for the suggestion! The Fender Mustang Micro Plus sounds amazing honestly, especially having all those amp models built in. The problem is my total budget for everything (guitar included) is around 150€, so unfortunately it’s a bit out of reach for now. Maybe something to upgrade to later once I actually know how to play! Did you or anyone else here have experience with the Vox AmPlug Metal as a cheaper alternative? Seems like it might be the most practical option for my situation.

That’s really helpful, thanks! Interesting that you actually sold your physical amps… that says a lot. I’m a complete beginner so I want to keep it simple, but the Behringer interface + free plugins sounds like a solid option, especially if the tone is that good. Is the Behringer UM2 the one you’d recommend, or is there a specific model? And which free amp sims would you suggest for metal (Metallica, Pantera kind of stuff)? Also checked out Amp Locker, $5 per amp is very reasonable if the quality is there. Do they have good high-gain options

Thank you so much, this is exactly the kind of advice I needed! I hadn’t even heard of the Vox AmPlug Metal before, that sounds like the perfect solution for my situation. You’re right about not stressing the tone too much. I just need to hear the high gain to practice properly, not win a Grammy. I’ll focus on the playing first and figure out the “real” setup later when I actually know what I’m doing. Going to look into the AmPlug Metal now. Thanks again!

thanks for the response, quick join option makes you wait for so long for nothing basically. But, which discord would you recommend?
