Re: Distortion pedal
The Metal Muff won't cut it for high gain thrash or death metal, it sounds HORRIBLE! It's loose and fuzzy and I have no idea why they market it as a "Metal" distortion, it's more of a fuzz. Look into an MI Audio Crunchbox.

Re: Distortion pedal
Hi mate . . .
. . . kinda busy these days, as i am NOT in SA any more, but in Galveston Texas !
I am trying to save and buy as much gear (pedals and amp) as possible, before i go home in October ! :beerchug: I am (if you did not know) currently working with Scott on a "custom" Edana (JTM45 clone) that is more Bassman than Marshall !
Problem is, i can not make enough money for the amount of stuff i buy every week . . .
. . . but that is live
Cheers

Re: Distortion pedal
AMT pedals are awesome! I've got an Extreme III that I really love. It's like a Recto in a box!! Very clear sounding pedal whereby you can hear all the notes in a chord.
I also had a Landmine pedal for a little bit but just sold it. It's okay if you like a little fuzz in your distortion; though, I really had to crank the bass and keep the treble and mids very low in order to get a smooth distortion sound out of it. Much like the Death Metal pedal, it's got no gain control, but I'd say it's still even better than that one.

Re: Distortion pedal
Save your money and get a good amp. After years of messing with distortion pedals and alot of cash, nothing comes close to a good tube amp with built in gain on tap!!!!!!!

Re: Distortion pedal
Rather than a backup amp maybe going with something like a POD?
I know that I loathe hauling a second amp to the gig. It's one of those things I just hate having to take space up with. But I know the one time I don't that it's going to be something I regret.
I toss the POD in and in case of emergency I dial in a decent tone and run it through the board. It takes up MUCH less space and is WAY more versatile.
Nothing...and I mean nothing....is going to make a Solid State amp sound the way you're really hoping it will.

Re: Distortion pedal
It's only a powerblock which is tiny. I am not hoping to make it sound like a tube amp in fact it's a really decent SS amp and I just wanted to know a good Dist. to kick in front of it. I would normally just use it's internal gain but it's single channel.
