Pedals

[Shreddie]

I'm looking for a cheap heeavy distortion pedal that sounds pretty good on a Marshall MG 30DFX amp (not tube). I'm thinking of getting either a Boss MT-2 Metal Zone, Digitech Metal Master or a Digitech Death Metal. Suggestions?

Re: Pedals

The MT-2 is the industry standard for heavy metal.

Re: Pedals

My son had the MG30DFX and ran a Metal Master through it. It kicked some ass considering the amp. In fact, the pedal was able to add some low end thump that the amp itself lacked.

I'll take that into mind. Thanks

Re: Pedals

I use the Digitech Death Metal. The bottom end is great, still articulate notes well, doesn't just go to mush. I have heard great stuff about the MT-2 but that you have to really tweak it to get it right.

Re: Pedals

How do you guys use the distortion?

I normally used the distortion pedals on a clean amp and ODs to push a distorted amp, but have come to the conclusion that that didn't work for my BOSS HM-2. You have to distort the amp and add the distortion on top.

I never did that when I had a DS-1 or Rocktron Rampage and now I wish I had. I probably thought they weren't too great because of that mistake.

Put me down for the BOSS HM-2 and you can't go wrong with the MT-2 for sure!

Dude, I am pratically giving away a DOD Death Metal pedal in the Clasifides with Box and Manual, very good shape, I hardly used it. $25 Shipped. Jack.

Re: Pedals

I highly recommend the Hughes and Kettner Warp Factor pedal. It's quite affordable too. Very good low end and great boogie-ish sound.

Well, considering my amp is SS with one preamp tube (Marshall AVT150H), I just run the pedal through the clean channel; puts the amps built-in OD channels to shame. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] An OD pedal wouldn't do too much for me, would it?
