Totally depends on the kind of metal in question.
Classic stuff? A Plexi or JCM800 all day.
80s shred? I’m a big fan of the SLO100 for that.
90s/00s sludgy metal tones? Gotta be a Dual Rec tone for me.
DT-style prog metal tones? Various Mesas obviously get that job done.
Super-dry tech death tone? The Engl Savage is absolutely brutal for that.
Modern ‘djent-y’ metal tones? The Friedman HBE has just the right combo of tightness and richness for that, IMO.
All personal preference of course one of the many beautiful things about these units is all the options to satisfy different needs and tastes.
