ok, I'm sorted for gnarly death tone but what about something tighter in the region of Pantera-style distortion. this would be into an old Marshall set totally clean.
suggestions?
:twisted:
-
I was quite impressed with the Electro Harmonix Metal Muff. Very cool pedal and not too expensive.
-
That Landmine pedal?
-
Demonizer?
-
I have a Keeley/Boss Metal Zone which is great - way better than the stock version!
-
I have a pocket Metal Muff. It's like the big one, only smaller and with no eq or boost - it has a 3 setting scoop switch to replace the eq.
I can get a pretty convincing Cowboys From Hell sound from it.
-
Maybe the new Blackstar pedals.

Or one of Krank's new pedals.
-
Krank pedalsssss.

guyatone mmx metal monster
www.guyatone.com
i use one exclusively for my distortion sound and i love it
it can do anything from 80s thrash right up to modern day necrophagist type sounds.
i highly recommend it
-
I had
Boss DS-1
Boss MT-2
Boss HM-3
Ibanez SM-7
Visual Sound Jekyll & Hyde
Rocktron Metal Planet
Hughes & Kettner Warp Factor
Questions about any of these?
-
For the Pantera cold, SS tone...
MT2
or
Uber Metal
I find the Uber Metal much better myself. But more expensive too.

they are quite gopod but a little awkward to EQ because you have no control over your mids.
I sold one for Ģ17 a week ago on ebay.
but you can get some decent tones.
if you have a sound control near you go there even though they are discontinued they still have them on there boss pedalboards in every sc ive been in
-
thanks for the replies - think I'll have to hit some shops and see what fits. I defo need bass/middle/treble to dial in the tone I want - swept mids would be cool :lol:
-
Check out the Pro Tone Body Rot II as well. Sounds sick. I can detect a little Dime in there and it makes down tuned guitars sound like they're gonna vomit. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

-
Krank Distortus Maximus.
There IS no other. :twisted:
-
Yeah, Or this one he recommended.
i didnīt play that one so i canīt comment.
-
hey WFD, what is the Behringer GDI21 like? i've been meaning to buy one for a while now.....
thanks!
-
Considering Behringer it's probably apalling.

my EQ pedal and my practice amp (GM108) are outstanding. that is just being snobbish.
-
I've never ever ever played anything good by Behringer.
Ever.
And I've played a fair bit, seeing as my mate has 6 of their pedals, and they use Behringer practice amps at Roundhouse which I've played through.
-

Like a MT-2 and Fuzz combined. Very big sound, not very defined, but fat. Reminds me of the early Stockholm sound (Entombed and the like).
-
yeah i'm with noodles pretty much...
apparently their mixers and stuff are pretty good for the money, but the guitar pedals are kinda shitee and break way too easy

rofl they're weak as hell, but why would you stomp incredibly hard on a pedal anyway?????? they sound fine, the components are fine, they are just weaker than their competitors.
i would never stomp on mine, i would only press it with my foot.
if you break it, that will teach you not to abuse your gear.
-
Gotta go with the flow, Behringer make some great ENTRY-LEVEL gear... but I would never, ever recommend it to anyone with a clear conscience unless they were a pretty recent starter to guitar who was looking for a bit of harmless experimentation with sounds and stuff.
I used to have a V-Amp, woah... that was a serious turd. Thankfully I had a dumb mate who bought it off me!

_tom_ likes his V-amp.....

Hahaha most definately. Where would we be without them? I got my money back on the thing... and to think, he actually wondered why I walked away from his house, stroking a bunch of twenties and grinning like a Cheshire Cat.
-

Indeed I do.. it just needs some tweaking, once you know what sounds good and what doesnt you can get some good tones from it. I only really use it for low-volume practise and quick recordings when I cant be arsed to mic up my amp and it works great for that :D

thats because the V-amp is the ONLY thing decent made by behringer. :crazy2: The durability of the rest of the stuff is sub-par. And i just dont like the tone of their stuff, but hey, tone is subjective, if somebody loves it then let them love it!
-
If you want a real brutal tone then I is recommedin an old Japaneze Boss DS-1 and crank up all the knobs and put it into a very dirty amp. As far as I know, Darrel Dimebag actually used a Boss DS-1 (MIJ) going into a Randall 100 watt head/4x12 stack, in his early 'brutal' days!
-
anyone got any clips of that krank distortus maximus?
-
i think Guitar One did a review on it and might have it posted on their website... that is... if the website is up yet...

so did total guitar, 5 stars.
although they do that too often.
i can get quotes if you want :)

thanks guys - read the interview on the gutiar one site - looks pretty tasty actually - nicer than i expected!

http://www.fulltone.com/stpframe.html - Click on Gt-500
I'd imagine this one to be quite good.
p.s. not sure if any one has mentioned it so far as i just scanned through the previous posts.
-
i doubt it'd be any good for metal...

Really, how so?
Here's the link directly to it http://www.fulltone.com/GT500.asp

Mike Fuller's not a very metal kinda guy - all of his pedals in the past seem to be tailored to vintage bluesy sounds.
-
Yeah, he's been hyping this one as a full on hi gain peadl though, ah well the spec on it seems pretty insane, plus it's pretty inovative aswell.
-
Cheap and good: the new Boss Metalcore.
If you're into this kind of 'Metaller than thou' sounds, this is the best out there.
It does NOT do subtlety in that it has an absolutely INSANE amount of gain. It should be illegal.
But it sounds thick, not buzzy like the MT2 at all. And the note seperation is strangely good. So it won't make your great axe sound like...bees.

it's funny you should mention that pedal, I spotted it on the Thomann website and will try and check one out in town this Friday (day off, YAY!!!)
