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.

Yes, utilizing the power sponge knob (all the way up) and finding a setting with decent distortion will create a heavy sound that the metal/punk genre is known for. This amp still features a wide setting of distorted, and clean settings, so this amp can handle it all.

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.

This amp probably works well with any genre of playing considering that it takes pedals so well. I'm not surprised.

As long as u dont rasie the volume too much it should be fine but i would get a more powerful amp

I think it is, but you won't get good bass out of this amp, and it will start clipping way before is loud enough (very low gain - if you increase the input it will clip). I hooked mine up to two 100W RMS speaker boxes, but because of the lack of bass (my vintage 80W RMS Wintec 6004 put out more Bass), I hooked a 2nd amplifier (300W Sony XM-75HX) using a "Y" cable, to drive two 300W RMS 15" speakers (Boston Acoustics) just for bass. Now I use PQA3100 just for highs and medium frequencies.

This amp will run those easly. I am currently running two 4000 watt peavey sp6's and two beringer 18"s at only a quarter composite and it rocks. Very very good amp for the money!!!

Yeah just put the distortion really high up. Some people might not like the default distortion tone the amp already has, but you could always buy a distortion or overdrive pedal and plug it into the amp. It might have a better tone if you don't already like the distortion the amp already provides. It can play speed/thrash.

This amp has tremelo and any other effect you can think of. It is a very good amp for the money.

no the amp at best I would say it's 75 watts it will not perform good at all unless u just care of a bad boom sound.

Yes depending on how hard you want to rock them, this amp hits my 10" pretty good. I would step it up a little next time, like at 1200--2000 watt.

I would not use this amp, it is garbage and does not deliver the power it says, I would invest in a better amp such as Alpine or Rockford, this amp is falsely rated

This amp is for practice it has some effects but yeah you can play anything but if you want more distortion you will need a pedal.

This amp comes with a decent built in crossover...how it handles your two kickers depends on the specs of those speakers.

It should be able to run 2 12s??? Maybe all 4 . it is a cheap "highschooler" kid amp for a Lil system. You never really know the actual rms

If you can afford 901's , you can afford a real amp. This amp is junk and only good for things like a PA in a church or something .

Yes it is, you can get an Alpine amp that runs 500rms @ 2, but you can get cheaper brands for around 100 for what you are looking for.

Yes, my daughter got this Amp as a gift for just that purpose. It has been great so far :-)

That shouldn't be an issue. The amp is strong. Don't let the physical size of it mislead you. I would recommend it.
