Damage Control

[ToneZone]

Anyone here that has tried Damage Control pedals? I have bought the Demonizer, but it hasn't arrived yet. Yesterday I had a discussion with a fellow guitarplayer which was a bit sceptical to the pedals. What do you guys think? Good pedals?

had one retuned it. good sound not heavy enough.

Not promising...
What kind of music do you play?

[Rich#6]

Metal(but no cookie monster stuff), I bought the solid metal pedal too. the demonizer I think is hotter. Some people have said they had to put a OD in front of them to get the right distortion. I was looking for something like the line 6 uber pedal but with a tube tone to it. If it wasn't so expensive I would have kept it.(they're really big pedals by the way.

I saw the Solid Metal video on youtube. It was impressive.

I had a solid metal for a very short time. It didn't seem very tweakable to me in that I didn't notice much of a change in sound with different settings. It didn't necessarily sound bad, it was just all or nothing. I had my main head in the shop and needed more gain for a show with my backup at the time being a Univalve. Used it for 2-3 rehearsals and 1 show and then sold it. The boost was a cool function, but I wasn't really that impressed. Hope your experience is better than mine!

I've heard good things about this stompbox before I bought it. Hopefully I'll like the sound.

How does one go about retuning these for heaviness?

returned. Hard to fix spelling mistakes when you share an office and you don't want to get caught on the internet.:ROTF:

I've heard mixed reviews about them and haven't felt the need to try them.
I did, however, have an AMT Extreme III pedal that was awesome and had plenty of gain.

My Metal Zone going through the EQ on my VOX is crushing. :-)

Call Dave Wireman at effectspedalboutique.com

I have a double sided SD808 pedal from him that kills anything else I have ever heard including the infamous Fulltone OCD

Tell him what you want and he will make it for you cheaper than most other manufacturers that I have seen.

Now I've gotten the pedal and I've tested it and I think it's a good pedal. I don't need more than this. I wouldn't pay the full price though. I got it under half price.
It gives you a decent amount of drive, but you need help from both the compressor and the "Nuclear" switch. But with a little tweaking, you get a nice metal tone, and it cleans down when roll off the volume.
New pedal in the house!!
