Ironically, for death Metal this pedal sucks. Better suited for thrash from the soundclips I heard...

I 2nd that

I have had the metal Master for a long time with my little 15 watt Fender after 2 years finally got my Marshall AVT 2000 50 Watt (not the best but good enough for my price range) and i say i like the distortion on the amp better then the pedal

And is it just me or do most of these (Metal master, death metal, etc) pedals from digitech change your tone alot?? Like totally wipe what your tone was just add some distortion?

I think whatever your pedal is the best sound you ever gonna get is depending a lot in your rig. Good equipment equals good sound add up a knack and good understanding about sound waves, dissonance and acoustics. What I mean with good equipment is its not necessarily an expensive one to die for but a really well taken care of piece of rig. That means a well maintained equipment can really pay off when the moment of truth arrives. To cut short getting rid and doing something about equipments that sputters, a not well soldered electrical joints or something, bad cables....these things could really every guitarist in a middle of a song in a fowl mode..lol :

This stomp box is good for the beginning guitarist or if you are really just starting to get serious with blowing someones mind out with ya guitah playin...lol :

This is an excellent Pedal but i have found one problem. you cannot use it with flange. because of the distortion it causes the flange to make a weird kinda, 80's sci fi UFO sound. but other then that its my favorite pedal in my line up

maybe try switching the order you hook it up. like guitar > deathmetal > flange > amp.

and i like how the whole page is basically reviews. lol.

now about the pedal, how do pinch harmonics sound with this beast?

You're probably not into metal because it gives pretty nice distortion....and I'm playing a B.C. Rich Warlock..not flashy but not horrible..

BC Rich Warlocks are shit.....Shimmy Shimmy is absoleutly right....I play a Ibanez RG with a 100 Watt Triple Rectifier and 2 Celestion Cabs...The tone is amazing...But I do find that I need a bit of a boost...I looked into this pedal and it is crap...I hated it the second I pluged it in and even if you do adjust the knobs...It never sounds better....If you want a cheep Digi-tech pedal then go with the "Grunge" Pedal...Analog is analog so its not gonna sound as "Real" as the tubes but it really does give you great tones as long as you know how to program it...Which really isnt hard at all. lol

yea if ur relying solely on a pedal for ur distortion then ur obviously tone def, but the pedal is good when ur looking for a boost on the dist u have through ur amp, i do not recommend using any pedal for distortion if its ur only source of distortion.

You obviously dont know what youre talking about. Alot of amps can have weak distortion compared to what the player is looking for. Therefore youre gonna need a distortion pedal to get what you need.

lol i thought i had a shitty guitar..
the warlock is a piece, that might be a huge reason you dont like the death metal distortion.
its good for at home use but when its mic-ed it sounds a little thin but other than that its worth the money.

Great black metal tone when mic'd from a distance.

BUT once you get a decent amp you will regret buying this pedal as it doesnt actually sound very good.

Tip to all People: If you have a Vox Wah-wah Pedal turn on your Death metal and the Wah and turn of your guitar... go slowly up and down to get a desert Wind Effect! VERY VERY COOL!

Not the best pedal made by Digitech thats for sure. It makes a buzzing noise when you have your volume cranked. Not bad but seriously there are way better pedals out their. I'll sell anyone my death metal pedal for 10-20 dollars.

Firstly, the pedal is called fricking death metal . If you despise metal, or copious amounts of distortion, you've been looking into the wrong section, and thus your points of argument are essentially null.

There are different pedals (and amps) marketed towards different crowds. The Boss DS-1, for example, is a more general piece for the gamut of guitarists. The Digitech Grunge is, well, rather obvious in terms of intended market. Same with this one.

Please, don't do the whole "omfg dis petal iz ghey" or "OMG LOLOLOLOL I LUV DIS PETAL IMMA CRY IF I LEWZ IT" thing. The polarization is rather annoying, about how it "obviously" is the best/worst pedal ever. Form a balanced opinion, insert a coin, and try again.
And the reviewer obsessing about cow rape has something on his mind. Weird.

As for my personal opinion, it's great for my band's style of music (doom/death metal with Vedic overtones), given our tendency to employ extreme amounts of distortion and harsh dissonance. It does as advertised: "we turned the gain to 11 and ripped the knob off". I noted a bit of buzzing, but that's fine by me, considering the overall intentional noise and feedback of playing in my band.

Hence, I say a 9/10 for me, 8/10 for most other people.

I played it long enough to know that it was a piece of shit. there's no distortion knob so you are stuck with heavy heavy Death Metal distortion forever. The low, middle, and high knobs don't do anything other than change the tone at an unnoticable amount. It is very easy to use though, because you don't have to do anything other than set the volume 'cause there's no use tweaking the other knobs, this pedal only has one sound. // 10
Sound: This is the perfect distortion pedal, if you like distortion with so much gain and so little life that it sounds like a digital cow getting raped. The sound is digital, feedbacky, and retarted. Yes, it is noisy and there's nothing you can do about it because you can't control the pedal's gain at all. I played it with a Epiphone Zack Wylde guitar and a Marshall TSL. Again there is only one sound: super Death Metal that sounds like cow getting raped. If you are not human and like the sound of a cow getting raped, then get this! // 2


Reliability & Durability: I wouldn't even bring it to a gig because I wouldnt've bought it in the first place, it's way to heavy to be lugging around, and it sounds like pure shit. No musician who wants a good tone will rely on this at all. I can't write anymore on this topic because I didn't buy it. But it weighed a lot for such a small pedal, a lot more than the Boss Mega Distortion (better than this too). // 2

Impression: I already told you, don't even look at this anymore unless you like the sound of cows getting raped (maybe you like animal masturbation music, I don't know). If it was stolen, I'd find the thief and tell him he has no sense of tone. My favorite feature is that it works perfectly in movies where cows get raped. If you're not gonna save up and get a new amp, get the Boss Mega distortion which still isn't as good as a good amp but is a lot better than this. I also have a review on the Boss Mega Distortion. // 3

My and is a solid state Peavy transtube Studio, I run the pedal in the clean channel and it makes it scream even in volume 1. Havent tried it beyond the 5 frontier.

Also it runs great into a chorus, but my cry baby wah is not exactly for it

You're probably not into metal because it gives pretty nice distortion....and I'm playing a B.C. Rich Warlock..not flashy but not horrible..
i got this pedal man.
i liked it when i had a crappy strat rip-off. but as soon as i got my new gear( schester sunset deluxe fr. and a marshall mg 100 dfx) i never touched it again. marshall built in distortion kicked digitechs ass. i tried plugging it in and all there was a screaming feedback and insane buzz. i couldnt hear my guitar!!!
i give this pedal an F- when used in real gear setup.
a B when you got a not so good to crappy setup. there are better distotions out there.

i suppose you could say that about any pedal, i hated my first distortion pedal when i got it, but now i always use it. and i wasnt that impressed with the marshal regen padal but after a while i started to love it.
