Digitech Death Metal Pedal - Page 5

TehSakkredFlame · 01-01-2006, 09:38 PM

I have to agree, I demoed an Uber Metal at a GC with a Randy Rhodes Sig. model Jackson, and the thing sounded just sweet. It has to be one of the most versatile metal distortions I've had the pleasure of playing.

is anyone out there in the same position as me, or does anyone have any advice?

much appreciated in advance

the sounds are different than on the amp but like thw other guy said the whole sound of it is brilliant but it can eat batterys in about 3 hours =/

anyone interested in buying a metal master…???

k people .. ITs easy METAL ZONE IS ****, i bought it as my first pedal cause its what someone who doesnt know **** about guitar pedals buy, LINE 6 UBER METAL is the way to go, pfff , some people,,

how about...

putting your amp on that "overdrive" channel, and turning that knob up? and tweaking the EQ? that seems to work fine. pedals are junk, all of them.

onion540 · 01-25-2006, 02:06 AM

the uber metal does drain batteries but if you get a power adapter thing that you plug in then it saves you the trouble of getting loads of batteries only costs about £7 and it beats the metal zone my friend has one and it can sound nice but it takes ages to get the tone to sound good

just buy a head with good dustortion so you dont have to get a 40dollar pedal

Boss metal zone is better than this, this sounds grim, though. Good for darkthrone like distortion.

I am not a guitar player, but my guitarist used to use a Digatech Death Metal pedal, and I'm telling you, that pedal is TERRIBLE. It gives far too much distortion, and its eq settings don't help very much. He's since switched to a Line 6 Uber Metal, and I've noticed a huge improvement in tone.

The digitech death metal pedal is a really hardcore pedal. Geared toward 1 purpose, Death Metal. I didn't like because I don't play death metal, if you do, try it out, you will probably like it.

A note on te metal zone. I think it really depends on what amp you have. I have tested it extensively through my practise amp and my gigging amp and i can't get good enough tone out of it. My RP200 sounds way better. That being said, I have heard it sound good. I dunno what other variable it could be. I have JB pickups on my ibanez so its not pickups, i would live and die by those, they have improved my tone a lot. Anyway thats my 2 cents on metal pedals.

that pedal sucks balls for pretty much anything until you like nothing but feedback

Metal Zone has better mids and less "razor" highs. Better construction too.

I dont know why anyone likes the death metal pedal. I think it sucks personally. I like the boss mt-2 or the digitech metal master better. I think the death metal sounds like solid fuzz. Of couse if you have a decent amp it may help the overdrive boost, but for just a main distortion I dont think its that good. Not tryin to bash, that is just my review on it.

HazMan · 03-06-2006, 09:50 AM

I have this pedal and think its pretty good. I bought it after reading a number of five star reviews and having a play with one at the music shop, i must say
its served me pretty well.

I've never really sampled any other distortion pedals as to compare it to anything though. I am under the impression it is good for its price though, as every other brand stompbox i seen was $100 more expensive.

dual rec · 03-06-2006, 08:20 PM

i'll give you that, it is a cheap way to get a high gain.

Noiseterrorist · 03-15-2006, 07:57 AM

I Used To Have The Dod Death Metal Distortion But After Years Of Abusing The Poor Thing I Replaced It With The Digitech Pedal
Way Better Then Any Other Distortion I Ever Used

Dancin' Man · 03-15-2006, 08:32 AM

Stick with the Metalzone kids. I've been using it for over 2 years now and it is great. I actually turn the distortion almost all of the way down and then EQ it nicely and it turns into a phenomenal pedal. Take in mind I play in a hardcore/grind band and an alt rock band and use it for both. That attests to it's versatility I think.

Noiseterrorist · 03-15-2006, 09:57 AM

i play in a old school raw as hell grind band and while i like the soud you can get with a metal zone, for what im doing the death metal distortion is the best
