Quote from: the_bleeding on January 04, 2009, 06:21:09 PMhahaha rectifiers were designed to play grunge just as grunge was dying out. Mesa got lucky when some heavier players discovered they could be used for metal. And yes, they are great for metal. Look at bands like Skinless, cannibal corpse, satyricon... they all use rectifiers, and are definately NOT rock. Not all metal is tight technical stuff.To be fair, Satyricon are pretty much a rock band now, albiet with more aggressive vocals - ever since they decided to be a black metal version of Entombed's modern tripe - plus still have pretty horrid guitar sounds. Then Skinless and Cannibal Corpse aren't exactly awash with awesome tones :lol:

this thread raises an interesting point. usually stuff marketed directly at the metal market tends to be a bit gimmicky and low-end... eg Boss Metalzone etc etc. Its true you don't need that stuff to get a metal tone.. I mean, you can easily be metal with a plexi style marshall or whatever.
Rectifiers are win for metal.All the old thrash bands who are coming out with new releases use them and it sounds brutal.
notice though. you dont REALLY get stuff aimed at indie or blues guitar players specifically.most FX companies make some sort of distortion effect called "t3h heavi br00talz kvlt overdrive!!!!11!!!' but you dont really get the 'indie topshop music pap in a box' pedal or the '1950's old black blues man' pedal...
you wouldn't use the meat knife on crusty bread but, equally, the serrated knife and straight edge knife aren't going to go through raw meat as quickly
on the actual subject of the thread...Cheap metal stuff is shitee.Expensive metal stuff is good.Isn't that the same with everything on the market?
