I am looking at buying a heartbreaker 2x12 combo.. I have seen several online videos and it sounds pretty good. my main question is will it do any kind of metal? mostly what i seen on line is blues stuff and a little clean playing... sorry if i posted in the wrong forum...
 
No

Metal can mean a lot of things. So someone might find a type of metal it does. The open back 2x12 cab isn't what I would use to play metal. The amp into a 4x12 cab is the way I use mine. It can get fairly aggressive. But doesn't get the tight bass I associate with metal.
 
I'd tend to agree with the above. Heartbreaker has GREAT cleans, and some really good mid to high gain tones, but the low end tends to be a little woofy. Some kind of overdrive or EQ pedal out front could probably sculpt the tone to more standard "metal" tone, but the cabinet choice is definitely going to come into play.
