Metal Zone and an EQ, and learn to use the search function.

Twice I've heard you refer to the search function Jeff
Don't worry - I'm not too patient either.
Perhaps it should be put somewhere clearly prior to entering a particular forum.
But most of us have no qualms about answering questions more than once. Again, tastes change and people become more experienced.
I would have to disagree partly with DSS. I have a Metal Zone and have tweaked it considerably. It tends to cut out a lot of the mid frequencies, and ends up kinda buzzy. BUT I haven't used it with an EQ but that would be a second pedal.

Re: what is the best metal pedal?
This will sound wierd....
Prolly 15 or 16 years ago I was goofing around and ran my Boss Heavy Metal pedal AND my Tube Screamer used as a Level boost (level up, gain backed off most of the way) into the Clean Channel of an old channel switching 800 series combo. Oh my!....what a wonderful modded for serious gain Marshall sound I got with them. It was smooth and fat and yet cut like a knife. At the time I had my Ferarri Red Les Paul Standard outta the gibson custom shop (limited edition type thing) with stock pups and Ebony board and it was just a HUGE sound..and it was still "warm". Sounded much better than either pedal on it's own for warmth, AND better than the Marshall's gain channel!
But, I know that prolly isn't much help, other than to say sometimes try to goof around with a few things...most of the time it will sound like @$$, but sometimes it can be magic!

Pay the money for a Tonebone Hotbritish, Banzai Fireball, or Fulltone Dist. Pro
Or, Marshall Gov'nr or Jackhammer, Keeley or Spina modded Boss distortion/metalzone.

Re: what is the best metal pedal?
This may go over like a turd in a punch bowl, BUT, I use a Boss SD-1 (Spina modded..), and it does metal just famously thru my Marshall. I think the MT-2 works best thru a clean amp. I love the EQ-ing capacity of the MT-2, but the gain is just too much buzz, and not enuff crunch for me. But I take more of an old school approach to get a distorted sound, so if the shoe fits...

The MXR Distortion + is great for vintage Maiden, but for the excellent modern Maiden tone it's going to take some Marshall tube distortion and an Ibanez tube screamer, sorry man.
