Metal dist pedal??????

[TheBozz]

Yep, another rookie question. And I bet that I could find a whole bunch of similar threads all over the site if I started to look. But you know what? I'm just too lazy! :barf: So, what dist pedals should give me a good, warm metal tone? Not looking for versatility... just what works best IYO.

While it's not my thing, I actually kinda like this pedal;

Check out the sound clips.

Tone Bone Hot British Distortion , it`s got a lot of knobs but it sounds good once you get it dialed in . I should be getting mine back from my nephew anyday now.

Keeley Modded Boss MT-2. I've head good things about that pedal. Wish I could try one out for myself.

For metal, Get either Boss MT-2 or Digitech's Metal Master. If I were you, MT-2 does the job amazingly. The Digitech sounds fake after a while, and it has way too much feedback. Also, the mt-2 is more versatile. I own it, and I got a punk sound from a metal pedal(Really hard to get, but it's thick and warm! Marshall style)

are u looking at cheap, or expensive? cause pretty much anything that has "metal" written on it would do the trick.... and pretty much any distortion should be good for metal. u should go to ur guitar shop and test some dist. pedals out.

Metal Zone is king, as far as affordable pedals go. The Ibanez Smashbox is pretty fun, too.

the metal master is a horrible horrible pedal. Its more just a throaty buzz that kinda resembles other pedals

metalzone, not stock, check out keeley & inyguitarist's mods

If you can spare the cash go for the G2D Morpheus. I used to have an MT-2 before this but IMO it blows it away...

Get three mxr 10 band eqss. Plug them in series. Crank the first two. On the last one the signal goes through, scoop everything from 250hz-700hz or so and crank everything else.

i reccomend trying the pedal thru your amp with your guitar, taking notes on what you like & don't, e-mail him with the list, and ask if he makes a mod that will fix that but keep whatever else. Be VERY specific

Now there's an easy and cost effective solution j/k

Indyguitarist MT-2. I have a link below, if you have any talent with a soldering iron at all, you can DIY for $10. Maybe like $12 after parts.
