Best Death Metal Pedal Either New or Old or Not Made Anymore

[mismas1]

Thanks man.  I'll be picking up a tube screamer today.  There is a cool family run music store that just opened up down the street from my office.  They rock.  I go in and play guitar with the guy who owns it just about every day.  I love supporting local businesses, rather then the big giant mega stores like Guitar Center.

Also, I have never been a big fan of using really expensive pedals.  I like to use cheaper pedals and mix and match for different sounds.  I know someone is going to blast me for this, but has anyone ever used a Boss MD-2 Mega Distortion Pedal?  Does it suck?  Anyone like it?  What kind of sound does it give you?

If you're after a tubescreamer-type pedal, and you don't want to spend too much, you could try the Joyo Ultimate Overdrive, which is a TS clone – I got mine for about £30 – or a Boss SD-1 (which behaves slightly differently, but serves much the same purpose, and lots of places seem to offer a mod that converts it to TS specs). At the cheaper end of the scale, I've also heard good stuff about the DigiTech Bad Monkey, although I've never used one personally.

I'm still yet to buy a Tube Screamer but I was looking at a Boss SD-1 or OD-3.  I do like Boss pedals and I have a Boss case near full of them including HM-2, MT-2, ML-2, GE-7 and NS-2  :lol:

I would use it as a clean boost and try it with the HM-2.  Don't know much about them so best find more info on them.

I really like the SD-1. It's not quite as smooth as the TS clone I've used, but sometimes that can be quite nice.

I find the SD-1 sounds good on rhythm, but too artificial on the treble strings. Against the Digitech Bad Monkey, I'd always choose the Bad Monkey.

We used the hm-2 in my bass setup today.
This is: A cheap washburn bass, tuned to A. Boss Hm-2(everything on max), Orange Terror bass(bass 10, mids 0, treble 10, gain 10.) through a marshall jcm800 2x15 cab.

Monstrous bass sound!

Super cool!  Has anyone tried the boss MD-2 Mega Distortion pedal.  Just wondering if it is totally lame.  Even though it isn't an ancient pedal like I am used to using.  Just wondering if anyone ever gave it a try.

Ok, so I splured today and bought a Pisdiyauwot pedal.  Thats right its made in Denmark, and is downright evil.  If you haven't check this thing out, go over to youtube and check it out.
