Digitech Metal Master is a MONSTER!

[BlueSnMettle]

Recently purchased this pedal from forum bro, B Bent (Greg).
Man this pedal is sick, perhaps it's the set up i've been playin it thru (Cherry finished Mahogany Hamer Special w/SD Stack P90s, see avatar, and the pedal receptive '59 Bassman RI, also see avatar) but I suppose with the 10" speakers of the Bassman, it adds to the tone. The bottom is so tight and articulate. I love it, no slop here whatsoever, just tight grit and grind. What a blast, my wife even commented on the awesome tone. Gotta love that.
Thanks Greg! Anyone else digging this pedal.

Peace,

Darrin

Digitech is an alright company. They come fairly well recommended here in utah, where I believe they're based.
I've got a hot rod distortion which I've used for about 4 years.
I'd wondered about the MM and it's good to hear that they seemingly didn't drop the ball on it.

Is the metal master the digital one from the x series. (As in not the DOD Death Metal repackaged).

Sweet dude. I am thrilled you like it. It just wasnt working for me with a Tele and Vibrolux Reverb. LOL!

Its the best distortion pedal I have ever played. . . hands down and bar none.

HOLY CRAP! I only just now realized you lived in St. George. I lived in Cedar for about four years. It's not ridiculous to suppose I might run into you someday.

I'm glad you found a good ped. It's amazing what one pedal with the right feel can do. Just ask Zakk or The Edge and his Boss Superoverdrive.

I had one but I traded it for a new Bad Monkey and $15 store credit at a local shop. It was too heavy for me.

Yeah, I could see it possibly "hiding" some
of that Tele spank.

I hated it, it was way too compressed for me and I enjoy metal tones

It does! For me, anyways. I grew up in Silver Spring, MD. I'm not liking this whole "small college town/ desert retirement oasis" kinda dealy.
But alas, school and cost of living are cheap here. At least I'm moving to SLC before fall.

Digitech does a few things well but all in all their flanger could be better. Its got such a wide range of sounds but so few of them really sound that great.

I still like my tone driver but am interested in broadening my overdrive horizons, dunno how long i'll stick with it.

their compresser didn't impress me but I'm glad i got a dynacomp. now that's a good all around compressor. Sometimes I feel like digitech tries to do too many things at once with their x-series.

Re: Digitech Metal Master is a MONSTER!

I plugged into a Metal Master in a shop one time. I liked it! The morph knob lets you go through a selection of essential metal tones. In one position, it sounded darn close to Randy Rhoads' tone on Ozzy's early albums. I'd never heard that tone in a pedal before.

Re: Digitech Metal Master is a MONSTER!

I really dig the pedal. I do agree with apj, I also find it compressed,
but I have an LP & Strat with Antiquities so I have the open airy sound covered.
I guess the MM is my little pleasure. Played through the aforementioned rig I get a
satisfaction thumpin' those barre's and heavey riffs that puts a smile on my face
and a pleasure in my soul. That's what it's all about for me.

Peace,
