  • Best Thrash Distortion

    WHat distortion pedal do you think gives off the best thrash sound/tone/vibe? I'll be playing through a 100W Marshall half-stack, not sure what kind I'm gonna get right now for an amp setup, pretty much as cheap as will get me buy. Anyway so basically I just mean in general, not I can get an awesome tone after putting it through a bunch of ****, I just mean straight into an amp what do you think is the best for thrash, and possibly some black metal.

    Thrash and Black metal are two very different tones really...

    An Ibanez Tube Screamer or Boss OD-1 through a Marshal 800 is THE sound of Bay Area Thrash...

    A korg 104DS through just about anything would be a prretty darn good black metal sound...

      Thrash is the most important element, anyone else?

          You will find 'pleasure' in the metal zone. I use it in my Black Metal project because of it's thin sound. With some patience you can get a [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] thrashtone too. (I even get Vai's "For the Love of God" tone out of this thing).

          You should get an OD or an EQ to thicken up the sound, even if it's not nescesarry.

          Remember that you get what you pay for.
