I was thinking about it, then realised i haven't played any game, accept rage (which sucks) in the last month and would have to re-learn my l33t d3m0 sk1llz.

These Zakk Wylde strings sound exremely metallic with out the amp on, great with the amp on though.

Nah, Line 6's suck. Unlike your guitar they aren't customizable and are infamously rubbish. Ask politely and calmly explain and hope your convincing voice works.

Also, a great amp is far more key to your sound than a great guitar. I could play a Crafter Cruiser through an ENGL Fireball and it would sound awesome.
Would the amp really matter if i had a distortion pedal through the clean setting?

Also how do I know if my neck is too bent? (guessing it's a noob question.)
Generally just looking down the neck to see what angle it is in comparison to the body, or:

Use the method covered in the later half of this vid.
My truss rod doesn't have a "slot" for an alan key or screwdriver.

When I asked if I could get a new guitar for christmas, i was told "you already have a guitar, you don't need another one for now" and i'm guessing the same thing will happen if I ask for an amp.
Also,my amps tone is extremely fake, my dads strat copy sounds the exact same as my ESP through the distortion setting, or maybe that's just how it's supposed to be...

I love the tone of the Gus G one, but reading reviews, they don't actually seem to have it in stock, the websites take your money, then inform you that they don't have the item a week later...
I'm not allowed a new guitar but i would be allowed an expensive pedal(around £200) as a christmas or birthday present.

Oh wait, you already posted one, still recommend it?

3 posts of pure doom.
It's great for a thrash sound.
Really, you can't get a pedal with great variety of tone, other than maybe the Blackstar Gus. G Signature model, which has a nice variety of high gain sounds.

For more sort of Stoner and sludgy styles go steal a bass amp from a friend. That's how Kyuss did it.
They only ever sold 1000 of them, in the whole world.

Do you recommend any distortion pedals that can do a wide variety of sounds? (if that exists, like fuzzy distortion, standard etc)

These strings are "ded", going to order dunlop ones off of amazon now. I found Zakk Wylde signature strings for a pound a set by Dunlop, will get 3 of them and a set of dunlop "heaviest"

In the first two weeks of having my guitar, i raised the bridge due to neck buzz (admittedly,way too high), i just lowered it to the perfect position (no buzz but pretty low) and no longer feel that i want a new guitar, it plays so much better now (surprisingly large difference just by lowering and raising the bridge)
This is good. By spec, your guitar is pretty good for a beginner guitar. Only real improvement you can do it replace the pickups. I'd recommend Seymour Duncan JBs, Di-Marzio Super Distortions (not actually very high output but a great pickup) or Activator X (very metal oriented). Avoid EMG like the plague, as they are hard to install.

Also, remember to adjust your truss rod when your neck gets too bent.

If you need to progress in terms of gear I'd get a Blackstar HT-5. Great, fairly cheap, nice sound, reliable, versatile. Not great for live performances due to its low output wattage, but great at home for that very reason.
It costs more than my guitar...
