The DISTORTION Quest hast Just Began. New focus needs new approaches. HELP Q: P

[WITH FULL DISTORTION]

Hello Guys
How are you!?!!?

COntinuing my UNholy quest for new taste and demand on effects and distortion, this time focus is on DIstortion, instead of delay.

The metalzone doesnt appeal me anymore. I sold it as well as the Line 6 Übermetal.
Metalzone was too dirty for leads, but good for rhythm. Line 6 Übermetal has something similar, but its the amount of Sterileness that bother me. Its like, too much definition in expense to Organicness. ahahahah No way.

Im wondering if theres any manufacturer that produces a distortion pedal that has meaty, tight, deep and crunchy distortion for Metal Rhythm Riffage without sounding sterile or digital. Organic is the word here. Of course it HAS TO HAVE Enough amount of Gain.
But for the lead channel it has to have a sustaining, singing, Warm and open sound. together with a smooth and velvety character to it.

Is there any pedal with two channels or even one pedal that can accomplishes both tasks in one unit ?!?!?!

Thanks in advance and happy new year again

I think this is the part of the day where you start hating me for my Mesa V-Twin, JP. :friday:

Seriously, angelic cleans and evil distortion.. we all know what kind of damage I can do with one of those and a JCM 800. Just imagine what YOU could do... :newangel::firedevil

Hey man.
thanks for the input. i already checked some videos. i found the fullbore metal more or less digital. but never played it.
i also recently sold my metal muff. the highs were totally annoing. and for soloing i found it not warm enough nor fluid nor singing.

RIght now im borrowing a friends CRATE GT15 new generation thats crappy. but my next amp will be an Orange dark terror.

Metal Muff

MXR Fullbore Metal

The Fullbore takes some tweaking BUT it does have some sweet spots. Same with the Metal Muff. Even the Metal Zone has *one* sweet spot.

Seriously though, solid state amp. With the right speakers you'll get some crushing distortion. Throw a tube screamer (any of them, even the $30 Chinese copies) in front of it.

Tommy Victor, Dimebag, Chuck Schuldiner, Dino Cazares, Cannibal Corpse, Suffocation... solid state amps.

I used a Marshall® Valvestate 100 watt head going through a model 1960A cabinet with Celestion® Vintage 30s in it, and that was killer. For effects, I used a Digitech® Whammy, an old Ibanez® chorus, and I also used a Line 6® Pod Pro for a lot of my effects as well because it has a wide variety of effects that I really like. I used the Pod for all of the clean parts with effects. The dirty stuff was straight Marshall with the chorus and Whammy.

The ones I'd like to personally try are the new Bogner pedals (probably Ecstasy Red and Uber), the new Mesa Throttle box and maybe one of the AMTs. I don't have personal experience experience with them but if I were shopping for a distortion pedal those would be the ones I'd target.

The Bogners aren't as crushing as you'd expect and are pretty pricey. The new Mesa pedals are more towards the overdrive spectrum (and pricey). The AMTs are good pedals, I've tried most of them. The only thing I don't like on the x1 series is that you only get B/M/T controls, sometimes you need a presence or resonance knob for better tweaking, and the x2 series have an extra clean channel which just adds to the price if all you're looking for is metal tones.

A Landmine Pedal.. (If you can find one...)





Or for an earthy, dark, fat tone..



I've barely got the gain above 4...and it's going straight into the clean channel ...no other effects or anything in the loop.

Just get a Rat and be done with it, pretty much as described. If it's too flubby drop a TS in front of it. It's not rocket science.

That Fullbore pedal is about as nasty as they come, I didn't like it at all.

^^^^
For masive amount of gain a la Peavey 5150 or Recto, the Triple Wreck.
Consider also the cheaper pedals from AMT, it's Californian Sound is a Recto-in-a-box, but they have a better line with their amp-in-a-box pedals (and still very affordable)
