How do I get that heavy metal sound from my guitar?
I have a fender stratocaster and I wan't some deep heavy metal sounds from it. I am not willing to get another guitar so don't offer that option please. Should I go about changing the pickups, maybe getting a different amp, maybe get a pedal.
I'm new to guitar so I don't know much but I do know I wan't that metal sound. I use a fender frontman10g which has a 10 watt output. any suggestions?
Get a better amp, one that's meant to have more of a high-gain sound, ie Marshall, or possibly Line 6. That's one step.
Another is to upgrade your pickups. A really common way to go for people with Strats when they want that thick sounding chug is to get Seymour Duncan Invaders installed in the bridge... Blink 182 did this, for instance, which is why they have halfway decent sounding distortion for being a pop punk band. Another pickup that should do the same basic idea is the DiMarzio x2n, which is possibly the hottest passive pickup that I know about. Both pickups are very, very hot, and may not be able to give you clean sounds.
You can also get a pedal, but I would get the pickups or amp first.
Boss Metal Zone. Probably the best distortion pedal I've ever used. If you can't get the metal sound you want with this pedal, you're doing something wrong. $80 used. If you use an EQ pedal after any distortion pedal it'll help you get a more sculpted tone, and can improve the sound of a cheap pedal a great deal. As I've said probably three times today, putting an EQ pedal after a Danelectro Fab Tone turned a cheap distortion pedal into a very respectable Metal Zone-ish tone.
