Re: Dist for use in Black metal?
Do you play in a band situation?
Good black metal tone is hard to make work in a band situation. Most people usually dial in may too much prescence and highs.
Alot of guys use the Boss GT-6 or 8 because you have alot of control over your tone. You can program some good sharp highs without it being a wash of noise.
If a multi fx is out of the question the digitech death metal might be one to try out. Either that or get 15 metal zones and link them up in a row :chairfall

Rocktron Silver Dragon. It'll give you all black metal flavors from Darkthrone to Marduk and it still sounds tubey. It can sound pretty harsh if wanted.

Just get a good amp - you'll be happier in the end.

Depends on the kind of blackmetal
.
But yeah, for kvlt sounds you really need to get a small practice amp, turn it up as loud as it goes, run some extension cords out into a forest in Norway, and record via tape recorder and radioshack mic. Nothing else will suffice, save the burning of a Church, or a homophobic murder.
No amp can deliver that crap tone used in black metal
Get a DOD Death Metal, its cheap sounds awful and should do that sound perfectly.

Re: Dist for use in Black metal?
The cheap solution is the boss Mega Distortion ,all scooped and bass down ,Metal zone is not that harsh ,silver dragon is awesome as Chief said ,but it's alittle bit expensive.
But Rocktron Rampage is a good advice!You can scopp as much as you can ,really great ditortion ,and 70db gain!So you can make evry amp scream ,or record perfectly.

It really depends on what kind of black metal you'll be playing. Not every black metal tone sounds like it was recorded through an answering machine.
If you want the old BM sound then yeah just about any random horrible sounding distortion pedal will do. If you're looking for a more modern BM tone, a distortion pedal isn't going to get you there as most of the modern guys are just using high gain tube amps.

Re: Dist for use in Black metal?
i have practically zero experience with dist pedals btu the metalzone is pretty good, and you can really crank the highs n mids n gain, which is what gives you that nasty(in a good way) blackmetal hiss
but in the end your tone souldnt matter to much, its blackmetal, just turn the gain to 10, the treble to 10, the mids prety high and volume high, and dont stop alternate picking!

Re: Dist for use in Black metal?
Are we talking bass guitar here? Probably doesn't make a difference, but, perhaps the best would be the earlier mentioned : 15 Metal Zone pedals chained together...? Running into a mortuary-powered giga-amp? Sorry.... ;-)

Re: Dist for use in Black metal?
lots of people like the metalzone and use it for all styles of metal, but, try it out before you buy it, or rent it if you can to try out, caus allthough it dose cool ditortion sounds, it wont do evrything and might not do the sound your hearing in your head.
its boss which is good caus that means itll last forever
