Unleash a brutal guitar assault with one of the most powerful amps on the planet.

Fender's first true metal amp, the Fender MH-500 Metalhead Guitar Amp delivers a whopping 550W into 2 ohms, 400W into 4 ohms. The solid state electronics and heavy-duty flight-case style enclosure make this a roadworthy addition to any rig. The 3-channel preamp offers a studio-pure Clean setting, Tight Drive for the ultimate rock tones and Loose Drive for those bottom-heavy drop tunings. 16 onboard effects, including the new GATE feature for noise-reduction or muting techniques, allow you to craft your heavy tone to hard rock, metal, punk, and beyond. Also has a professional speaker-emulated XLR line out with level control and ground lift. Includes 25 sets of earplugs, so you know it must be loud! Looking for the complete half or full stack? The optional MH-412 cabinets are the perfect choice to give voice to this beast! (See accessory box on this page.)

Punches you in the face !!!

Everyone told me, "Oh no you don't want that head. It's not tube and it won't have that warm tube sound." So at the risk of proving them all wrong, I ordered one and man am I glad I did. I've gone through numeous amp heads trying to produce a blistering deep tone. This amp has cleaner than clean tones as well as dirtier than dirt tones. If you can get the volume up even a little bit, it will punch you in the face. This thing is totally rad and better yet, nobody else seems to have it. Pure heavy metal all the way! Guarantee you will not be disappointed!!!!!

The Name Says It all "Metalhead\

when you see the name Metalhead you automatically think BRAIN NUMBING TORTURE to a crowd of screaming fans wanting an encore after getting done on a song thats your best...this clean is so crisp that i needed to turn down the gain so i didnt think i was still on distortion...and the 2 different overdrives let me tell you were so crunchy it made my SG with 81 85 emgs sound like a dream coming true.... i recommend anyone who wants a great sounding amp for that distinct Metal, hardcore, rock, alternative sound you name it this amp is for you and you cant beat the price believe me get it you will LOVE IT!!!!!!!

Our Next Sound

After being with dragonforce over the years, we've been switching up our tone for the different albums. Herman and I were prety much messing around wit amps and heads looking for a new tone. I played my Ibanez V through this Metalhead along with the MH-412 cabs, and it sounds bloody amazing. We started out with Fury of the Storm on the Loose channel and it was great. When the new album comes out, im sure well be using these for at least a couple of songs.

You might be a Metalhead

If you Drop tune and like it so thick and loud you feel it in your bones? You might be a Metalhead. If you think Dimebag was a Guitar God but you can't find that classic WARHEAD solid state amp. You might be a MetalHead. If you like solos like Yngwie, Dragon Force, and Lamb of God. You might be a Metalhead. If you have always wanted a true Fender Clean and distortion so heavy you might have to turn down the gain. You might... well you get the point. This amp Kicks. Eagles, Leonard Skynard get a Marshall, Distruction at the turn of a knob. METALHEAD...and get the cabs to...100watt celestions.
