never played one but have heard its got a great history...can it cover AC/DC and 80s Metal as well as some British Blues?

It can get pretty close,I play blues so I use the clean channel,but the dirty channel is pretty heavy!

That's what it does best, as far as the gain channel goes. The range that it covers without much tweaking is between the Clapton style overdrive and say, Judas Priest style 80's metal. More subtle than that and you'll need a boost in front of the clean channel (which it actually handles well). If you want something more brutal, stick a pedal in front. Just remember that it's a 1x12 combo and not a thiele cab.

True Tube Amp people tend to bash this amp ,very unfairly! This little puppy can do it all with ease. This is one of the best purchases I've ever made.

I don't have any problems with the amp. Is a shame that Trans amps get a reputation.

The Transtube Bandit has one of the most versatile distortion channels you will find in an amp.

Not a player here of that genre, but, there certainly are a lot of different effects, (including yours,) for everyone. Is it a ten/ten, don't know what to say except probably depends more on the electronic on, and type of, guitar you play. Maybe stay away from humbuckers. Unless they can be split. This unit also has an 8 pin jack for dedicated pedal attachments, or a midi device. I do use the aux input, with an adapter jack, which could be wired amp>oedal of choice>guitar. A preamp, like an IOS device could go in there aswell with the other attachments going through it. The aux jack, by itself, does not have any effects, Just clean sound.Good luck.

It's good for beginners and intermediate players such as myself. If you like shredding, sweeping, and metallish stuff like that then, you'll like this amp. If you're into classic rock such as Queen, Guns'N'Roses, AC-DC, and Ozzy Osbourne, it can do it but it's not as good but still fairly good. It's also very good for punk/pop-punk IMO. And even though I don't play Blues much, it sounds okay for it IMO. Overall, the only channel I don't dig on this amp is the "Clean" channel.

The guitar sounds lovely and very easy to tune. I haven't done any slide, but I´m sure it will sound great. If you're learning this guitar is good choice. I've checked another one which is very nice and a lot more expensive (A Luna resonator electroacosutic)

Hi Anthony, I bought the AC30, the Metal, and the Classic Rock ones, so I can't comment on the Lead one, but of the three that I got, the Classic Rock one was the favorite. Another option to consider, although more expensive, is to get a Carl Martin Rock Bug. That way you can use all of your Dirt Pedals and still use the headphones. Using my Rock Bug with a Boss Flanger pedal and a Beat Buddy pedal is pretty neat.

From what I've heard, you can play it all right with the older editions. I'm wondering if it works with more than 4 people though, that's what I'm worried about.

Do yourself a favor, try a les paul JR Pro. Guitar Center has been selling these for less than $700 recently (about what you would expect to pay for a really GOOD Epiphone or other offshore manufacture bargain guitar), and with the 490 pickups it is an awesome deal. Any guitar will work with this game, but you'll find more enjoyment if you're playing an instrument that feels as good in your hands as it sounds in your ears.

I would just go ahead and get this one flashback x4 , it has really nice tone,looper, tap tempo, this is awesone.

Unfortunately I got it as a father's day gift for my dad,and we haven't really played much rock or heavy metal through it,but it works well with Reggae..It might just be an experimental experience at first,until you figure out the right settings for it.I know I wasn't able to offer much help,but I hope that you will be able to find the right settings for it.

I bought it to play with a large crowd on stage at a Relay for Life event so I really enjoyed the game an it worked well for my purposes. As far as your question I think any edition is fine. I think that is up to you. The questions are varied.

I would say that this amp is capable of covering all genres, with no problems. I love this thing. Does it look the part for some genres, no, but looks are of no concern to me.

Mine included bass. That's what I bought it for. If you like it, I suggest later buying RS 2014. The format is much smoother, and if you have already purchased and loaded original Rocksmith, you can import those songs into RS 2014, and play those songs with improved game play.

The Fender Mustang IV can give you a ton of sound variations and will get you the dirty British sound. When you buy the amp you will be able to get Fender Fuse software and custom make different patches. The amp comes preloaded with 100 presets and you can over write those with your own patches or edited current patches. Swanny

There's a pretty good mix. You get 70's, 80's and 90's standards with some obscure bands and songs. There's also Hard Rock, Ballads and Pop. I used the random selection mode and it was weeks before I heard a repeat. To be fair, some of the songs were pretty crappy which I guess they need to include in these packages.

It is a very well known guitar. I did a lot of research first. My son figured out Rocksmith is a bit of work, so he isn't playing as much as he thought he would.

I don't know. I don't think I ever installed it. I was looking for a contrast between a high distortion pickup for chords and a "clean" (not really the right adjective) sound of a jazz pickup for solos. That was my intentionat least, I hope I did not confuse you more. Eric S.

Numerical seems like a good approach(1 then 2 and so on). The expansions contain no content that requires a previous expansion. There are 'themed' expansions that do not have a number but are associated with time period or some such thing ( I bought the 90's expansion and the first two 'regular'). So there is no real order required, any set will mix well with the original edition.
