Need a(nother) distortion pedal

[3 cent hero]

I'm starting to get pissed at the MT-2, so I need a good dist pedal, preferably with a nice built in EQ, that can handle EARLY YEARS PASSIVE PUP James Hetfield type tones. Suggest away!

G2D sounds really nice but are kind of pricey brand new, also modded TS-9 sound good. :burnout:

I can come pretty close to that tone with a MT-2, what are your settings?

Yep, I replaced a MT-2 with a G2D Morpheus. Very big sound!

Send your MT2 to keeley. The sound clips sound pretty cool.

I keep moving them, trying to get something half decent, but they are at this currently:

High: 11 o'clock
Bass: Dimed
Mid: 1 o'clock
Mid Freq: Between 9 and 10 o'clock
Dist: 1 o'clock

Keeley's MT-2 sounds too, "nu" to me. It's being sent to Analog Mike once I have the extra money to spend.

I use the following settings and it sounds nice and fat for me:

Volume: 2 o'clock
Bass: 3 o'clock
Treble: 12 o'clock
Mids: 2-3 o'clock
Mid Freq: 8-9 o'clock
Dist: 9-10 o'clock.

Try this out. It sounds very nice through my BF Bassman head. :burnout:

I, like a lot of people, find that the MT-2 sounds good only when followed by a graphic EQ pedal. I can't seem to get a sound I like without it.

DOD Grunge. You'll need to get a noise suppressor though. That bitch is loud.

It's pretty transparent, and you'll have to tweak it just right to get that scopped mids/early Hetfeild tone. Keep everything about half way, a little over or a little under, and use your amp's controls more to shape your sound. The reissue is cool, but try and snag an original.
