@NateTehGreat187 They all can but the Ibanez would be a better choice for a metal sound

I do not recommend sitting on a 15W amp…

I’ve been debating over the Fender SE Special Strat with Squier SP-10 Amp Value Pack or the Fender Affinity Special Strat and Frontman 15G Amp Value Pack. I like the SE Special Strat brown sunburst color, but I like the Fender Frontman 15G amp. Thoughts and comments would be nice please. :)

@drpinto28 which one is the classic rock ?

drpinto28September 1st, 2011 at 7:14 am

@xouxou35 or even better the Rogue Rocketeer its sound is good

drpinto28September 1st, 2011 at 8:09 am

@xouxou35 if i were you id take the classic rock one,because you can always buy a distortion pedal. With the heavy metal one i dont think theres a pedal for clean and if there is its not under $300

xouxou35September 1st, 2011 at 8:21 am

if i like metallica, acdc etc but i also like santana and jimi hendrix, wich one should i take ??

I was thinking about buying the Squier guitar pack, but after watching this, I’m think more of the Fender guitar pack. FENDER ALL THE WAY, BABY!!!!!!

mrmegaguitarplayerSeptember 1st, 2011 at 9:53 am

everyone hates on squier but i have played my £99 bullet strat and then a £500 ibanez and you know what is more comfortable? the strat!!!! all i need to do is put in some symore duncun picups and it will sound beter to! the final price will be £250,half the price of the ibanez and twice the enjoyment!!!!

mrmegaguitarplayerSeptember 1st, 2011 at 10:49 am

@jamver10124 It does have overdrive bro, It’s the first Knob That says “Gain” and you can use it and other knobs too make very good Metal overdrive, It even sounds better than some pedals if you make the settings just right.

StratBanez101September 1st, 2011 at 1:27 pm

the rogue kinda looks like rickenbacker without the pickgaurd. but in black

jamver10124September 1st, 2011 at 2:25 pm

noob here :D i have one question why the ibanez package amplifier doesnt have a over drive? are u able to set it up to make a heavy distorted tune?

MrPetersonic100September 1st, 2011 at 2:44 pm

Ibanez has actually a better pack!!!! XD

RaVePiTSeptember 1st, 2011 at 2:45 pm

I bought the Rogue Rocketeer last week :D

skillz102938September 1st, 2011 at 3:04 pm

i just ordered me one i got the blue guitar one :D :D:D so happy im a bass player tho kinda of a begginer but not that much

Guitarmoster007September 1st, 2011 at 3:46 pm

The Squires sounds terrible with crunchy/dist-ed sound. Get the Epiphone or the Ibanez, they seem pretty good.

TroubleClef2112September 1st, 2011 at 4:16 pm

i wish they stopped the back track music when they did the test
