How do I give my guitar that deep heavy metal sound. I am using a fender STARcaster and a peavy amp. ?

I want to give my guitar a heavy metal sound so I can play songs from bands like

-Slayer
-Metallica
-Megadeth

But on my cheap fender i can't get my guitar to sound like anything other than a tin can. (Even with max distortion it sounds too high pitched and very whiny. Its hard to explain.) Any reccommendations?

Turn the bass all the way up, turn contour and treble to 7 and 5 respectively.

Turn the distortion to 7 or 8.

With a small amp, it's very hard to get a metal sound, but I've got one and I use the above settings, and it sounds decent.

Here's a site you might find helpful. Click the make of amp you've got, then select a setting for it (it'll be something along the lines of "heavy metal" or "crunchy,") and it'll give you directions on how to make it sound as close to the sound you want as the amp will go.
