Digitech Death Metal Pedal - Page 6

National chaos sam · 03-15-2006, 11:12 AM

Id dont acutally like Boss's distortion pedals at all! Analog or not, ive never liked them! dont get me wrong, untill i purchased an amp with distortion on it i was in love with my DS1, but thats when i found other sources. Digitechs newer range of overdrive/distortion pedals ROCK. but id never use them, however, all of Boss's other effects are by far the best, Ive never heard a better chorus pedal then the Chorus Ensemble, and some of the old DOD pedlas have thier very awesome moments.

It can sound good...if you have a compression pedal and maybe a EQ pedal too.

Or if you're lazy like me, hook it into a V-amp Pro and play with the settings

I like the Boss Metalzone. Though lately, I've been relying more on my Peaveys' preset distortion. It's got so much ****ing high end with a thick bottom end, too.

Hi guys would the death metal be a step up from my boss ds-1 in the distortionyness?

flubandlevo · 06-06-2006, 12:41 PM

you can do it with an equalizer pedal

Yes. Open it up. It uses a number of SMD op-amps. The metal-zone is one of the better pedals I picked up used cheaply. The mega-distortion, now that was total ***. But I roll my own pedals these days.

HELL naw the death metal pedal in my opinion is a piece of junk. Its distorion has no depth to it at all. I would much rather buy the metal master.

QFT. I mean REALLY people.

yea i bought a metal pedal a few months ago and it's great it blows a lot of the competetion away

Everyone's forgeting that these pedals can be modded (especially the metalzone) to sounds that are way better than the stock sound. I didn't think it could make a difference until I got my hands on a modded boss ds-1. Side by side with the stock pedal it makes the stock sound like supreme crap! And a modded metalzone kicks the crap out of a stock metalzone. Don't believe me? Check out http://www.kmdes.com/pedalmods.php He does pedal mods, and for cheap too, or you can just buy a brand new one if you don't already have one. Yeah, a boss ds-1 modded costs less from him than from the local radio shack. He doesn't have the Metal zone mod on his site, but ask him, and he'll do it for you. It's so great, I can't even play stock pedals anymore. Now if I had more money for a phase 90 mod.

And yes, both have their ups and downs, the metalzone is amore classic 80s distoretion and the death metal is for new types of metal. I'm not sure if the digitech pedals would be so reliable, but the bosses are built like tanks. They are both different pedals really meant to do certain things. If you put the boss mt-2 vs. the boss hm-2 then that';s a different story, the hm-2 sucks, but that was what the metalzone was before it became the metal zone, it even has the same colour scheme. Just remember, go with your ears, buy what you like, but don't just limit yourself to 2 pedals, there's more out there.

And if you're low on a budget, yeah even I'd go with a death metal. It is good for the price.

FAT BOTTOM END WITH RAZOR SHARP HI AND MEDIUM MID

DEATH METAL SETTING
BOSS MT-2
Level Max
Bass 9PM
Hi Max
Mid (outer ring) 12PM-1PM
Mid (inner knob) scooped
Dist (Max for quite playing), (2pm for loud playing)

Your Amp setting will be
BASS MAX
MID anywhere from noon to max sounds great
Hi Max

Meant specifically for b tuning (thick gauge strings. The better your guitar and amp the clearer and heavier it sounds. Some cabs have a very low bass heavy sound while others have a very bright mid rangy tone. I use a randall cab with 300 watt rocket 50 speakers and a peavey 6505 with i'm not sure what the speakers are. I used a 5150 head and it's pretty damn fucking loud. On top of that I use a sonic maximizer to add to razor sharp hi's and punchy bass low's.

Would not go any where with out by sonic maximizer. Gives a nivce punch to the gut. Oh yeah you can feel it. THE SOUND IS MASSIVE. !!!!!
