haha...i thought about the distortion...but well..have to sacrifice awhile.... i aim for the guitar 1st...later on, the amplifier... .. 1k is for the guitar budget alone... RM 350 for amp is still manageable...

but is it really can destroy my home amp? my amp is for the big speaker bout 1m height...

it depends lor, buy guitar w/o Dist/OD for me is really bored.
But its another case if u like clean sound =)

*OD = over drive

If you want to play metal, how can you play it without distortion?
That alone doesn't make sense.

meaning anything above 1k...the trem can be trusted?

Again, it depends on the trem. The Ibanez Edge III trem is quite bad, but if you don't abuse it THAT much, it's pretty decent. Again, personal preference.

yea, just like eating bread w/o jam , butter or any taste.

nope wrong plan. here's a better plan

step1: get a good guitar. as the others, i'd recommend a fixed-bridge ibanez (good resell value)
step2: get a good budget MFX unit like the G1X
step3: use headphone for practice for a while
step4: get a good practice amp once you have the budget (15w recommended)
step5: ?????
step6: PROFIT!!!!!

+1, metal is all abt distortion man,
for me, id say, get a decent practice amp around 100 - 200 w/o fx of cos,
and then get some pretty mean metal distortion pedal to couple with it,
and there u have it instant metal setup, u wont need all those modulation and delay to play metal,
forget mfx, just my 2cent,

Metal without distortion? Closest you'll get is Black Sabbath. But they do have overdrive though.

metal w/o distortion is black sabbath?
why is that?
i think they still call it british distortion bcos iommi use laney's amp..

ok2... i get 1k guitar...and some budget for amp and multifx...

i know the distortion is important...haha.. without like slow rock lol....

what amp good for practice and for budget cost?

the lowest you can get is the microcube 10.
though the sound is pretty numb for me

i was hoping to get a metal guitar for 1k... and the budget is only for the guitar.... for the amp and multifx i can manage it...

how much is the micro cube?

microcube will cost you about rm380 if i recall correctly

RM 380 is still ok...

how bout ur suggestion for metal guitar budget 1k and below...?

i own an ibanez 321mh b4..use it through a roland microcube...can get pretty decent distortion sound out of it..best budget combo lol....

deadeye sells em at RM330

so ibanez RG321MH is good for metal genre... put micro cube than ok? how bout the ESP? how much it cost?

Don't get LTDs (there are NO ESPs that cheap!) below the 1k mark, most of them have terrible quality for the price. And why do you want a distortion pedal so much? Get the Microcube, it already has an onboard modeller for distortion which sounds decent enough. Pair the Microcube with the RG321MH and you cant go wrong. Then set aside the money you wanted to buy a distortion pedal with and save up for a better guitar+amp for the future.

i juz wanna get multi effx bcoz i wanna effect that can do light touch shredding.... hehe.. juz wanna trashing out...

and the ESP below 1k not good? ok then...
