The Blackstar sounded better to me.

I have the HT dual, and the Dist X, but not the metal muff.

I like the Blackstars, the HT Dual gives you a great range from clean all the way up to high distortion. The dist X is more limited and is really only a high gain pedal, but it does what it does very well (in my opinion). I also like the way they are constructed, very solid pedals.

But EH make good gear, so I wouldn't discount it woithout trying it. You might also like to take a look at Boss Metal Core, it's their new(ish) metal pedal and gives a pretty good tone, again limited in application, but worth a look if you can get to play with one.

It might just be my setup, but I struggle to get a "thrash" sound with my Dual.

I say that it might be my setup, because my Orange only has treble and bass tone controls, no mid to scoop.

Mark.

I have both.

I agree with MrBump, the Dual is better for anything up to hard rock tones.

The MM is better for thrash, metal, scooped mids type stuff. Which reminds me, I must get mine back from "Malcolm".....

Dunno about the Zvex but the Jackhammer sounded like a pile of shite through my rig...
