pedal questions

[Empty Pockets]

What are some good-sounding distortion pedals for lowend, high-gain stuff? I want a bassier pedal for my rig and my girlfriend wants some high-gain metal recto-y sound for her little Frontman 15 combo...so what would be a good pedal for either situation?

Also what are some good chorus pedals? And reverb?

Re: pedal questions

a big muff mixed with a ds-1 or a zakk wylde pedal may get you really close to recto tones

that's just a theory i have, i haven't tested it

Re: pedal questions

Simple... Marshall Guvnor will give you some amazing JCM800 tones. The ShredMaster is another choice, more brutal.

In this price range... you can go wrong. The MetalZone would be my last choice... I'd have to be very desesperate...

Re: pedal questions

A MT-2 (Boss Metal Zone) will definately get your girlfriend there. But don't use it with a tube amp. This pedal sounds great (or bad depending on your settings) through a SS amp but has a very thin tone through a tube amp.

I have an old clip here where I use an Ibanez RG ('59/JB)trough the MT-2 into a Randall RG100SC (SS). The settings were dialed in for the JB to sound fat so the '59 sounds quite muddy.

I'm curious, why is that?

Re: pedal questions

nightburst hit it perfectly... through my solid state fender roc pro 100 it is godly sounding. through my modded dsl100 it is sooo thin i wanna throw it out the window.

that's what some people have to understand that differen't pedals sound completely differen't with differen't types of amps. My last choice is a ds-1 yet i wish i kept it to try with my dsl because i bet it would really kick the distortion channel to another level. Ya live ya learn... or hopefully

The MetalZone is a horrible pedal, full of horrible tones!

Yup those are your settings

What's up with the bad temper in this thread people?
If you are going to make a statement at least back it up with some information instead of saying something just sucks.
