Fender MH-500 Metalhead
Truth be told... The first public audience to witness the mind-numbing, speaker-testing beast that is the Metalhead, was none other than the local authorities nead Fender® HQ.
After firing it up and delivering a few gut-wrenching power chords, car AND building alarms started sounding off throughout the complex where the R&D department resides — spurring the police to hightail it to the parking lot! Needless to say, we had some explaining to do...
One of the most powerful electric guitar amplification systems known to man, the Metalhead was designed from the ground up to deliver a no-nonsense, full-on guitar assault. Three independent preamp channels create the necessary tones for all modern, heavy guitar styles.
The visual appearance is simple and timeless, with heavy-duty flight case hardware and chromed knobs and switches. This amp is made to survive the rigors of the road! Companion 4x12 cabinets feature extreme-duty 100 watt Celestion�speakers and matching flight case construction.
