Impressive.

I look at it like the transmission of a big truck.
Lots of range.

I wonder, if you bypass all three does it buffer your signal three times?
I sure hope not.

I could see something like that working - but not for stacking, for three different presets.
I'd build it with four footswitches: one for bypass, and three to select which is on at-a-time.
Like on the programmable loop switchers where the last footswitch pushed takes priority.

If ever a boss pedal needed presets, it's the Metal Zone. There are a few usable sounds in the thing, but there is an awful lot of terrible too. The knobs are VERY sensitive to position changes so ever finding a good tone a second time is very difficult.

This reminds me a bit of Craig Anderton's Quadrafuzz. Only it splits the guitar signal into four EQ bands, then lets you set the distortion level independently on each.

Yes, that’s my recollection too. There’s a reason so many boutique pedals have limited controls, pad the pots on both sides with resistors so basically all settings sound “good”.

I have a modern multiband distortion, the Source Audio Pro Multiwave that distorts 10 bands separately. A bit odd since it's digital (although certain modes sound like nice analog OD) but it definitely has some great tones in it, as well as some that are just plain sick in a usable way.
The coolest thing is that it has six presets arranged in two banks of three - and with an expression pedal you can morph seamlessly between any program and its counterpart in the other bank. Pretty wild results morphing between two presets that use completely different algorithms; some truly crazy sounds to be had in the middle ground.
The pedal includes the Source Audio programmable 7-band EQ, also with morphing. I have one pair of presets set up as clean EQ only, so I can sweep between two EQ settings.
Pete Thorn made a demo using this unit about a decade ago.

Coupla years ago Source Audio came out with a newer version called the Ultrawave.
Back in the day there was also a stripped-down original Multiwave, just the core engine with no presets or EQ,

I've had my eye on their EQs for a while... did not realize this pedal was this capable. Looks like it could probably replace everything on my board except the HOG and the delay. Not in the market right this moment, but still, super cool.

Just saw this as I was heading for bed, but will definitely check it out tomorrow. Looks like cool stuff.

Why start with even 1?
And shouldn't the mids all be set at -15?
Is that thing really real? Could be worth having just for excess purposes.
