I thought metal ruled a lot earlier than that!
I saw Blue Öyster Cult in 1975.
Definitely some early metal vibes there.

If you think you are up to it.
A guitar player back in high school (mid 70's) had one of these in his basement jam room that he played through a Marshall 100 w 4x12 stack with a Gibson Les Paul, but I don't think he used it onstage with the band. As for details about it, some other guys would probably know more about the history than me. This was one of the cutting edge pre-digital delay/echo effects ( or synthesizers) I'm pretty sure.
Is that an effect or a synth?
I have an amp that has all the effects you'd want built in, a Line 6 Vetta. It's a very well built amp however I wouldn't advise anyone buy their products today because their support is abysmal.
I'd love to try a Roland synth someday. I was on the verge of getting the pickup for it and installing it on my guitar. The six individual pickups (hexaphonic) are used for Roland synths. A current GR55 and maybe an older one depending on how the COSM models in the newer synth sounds.
My interest in guitar synths began way back in 1966 with the Vox organ guitar. It used the strings and frets as a big set of switches that emulated a keyboard to control the sounds. I think it was frought with all sorts of technical glitches and realiability problems however so it never really got off the ground. Good in concept but poor in execution.
