Members dmhi11 Posted January 5, 2013 Members Share Posted January 5, 2013 Looking for a metal distortion. Something with good muscular thumping low end that can get in engl fireball territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sparkfriction Posted January 5, 2013 Members Share Posted January 5, 2013 my personal favs.Mi Megalith - just a great pedalOkko Dominator - very amplike, from smooth to heavy.Railhead TUA - great low end, strange EQ and a bit fuzzy in the high end.

Members Jisatsu Posted January 5, 2013 Members Share Posted January 5, 2013 A Mesa dual rectifier or a peavey 5150 will do the trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or for a little less money, I'm sure a single rectifier, maybe with whatever dirt pedal you already have, will SOUND a lot better than ANY silly pedal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KRAA!! Posted January 5, 2013 Members Share Posted January 5, 2013 I have both of these: They both are low noise. The Dominator is really good and its EQ is extremely versatile, especially the midrange knob and the mids switch. The Pisdiyauwot is just as good but is voiced differently with more highs. Actually the Emma has a wider gain range and I use it not only for high gain but also for low gain sounds, it produces a chimey overdrive at low gain with the right EQ (!). I have also used them together on at the same time for an interesting blend, that sound is still relatively noise free. The Okko sounds really good boosted with a treble booster for a midrange heavy lead tone also. I have not used them at a gig so at high volume they might not work.

Members Minning Around Posted January 5, 2013 Members Share Posted January 5, 2013 I've got one of these arriving Tuesday. Cannot phucking wait! Notice anything wrong with that pedal? The switches are not labeled. One is for off/on, the other is for Boost. And why aren't the LED's above the switches? BTW, I've run across a number of peeps who pronounce Wampler as Wham-plur. It's supposed to be Whom-plur, FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ben_allison Posted January 5, 2013 Members Share Posted January 5, 2013 Had the Pisdi and Dominator. Spent a bunch of time with the Openhaus. I've spent time with plenty of other high-gain pedals, but those are the best for metal that I have tried.They all sound good. They're all worth a gander. Two things:1) A Riot + EQ can outperform the Okko; just better mid content2) Nothing will really be able to simulate the weight and "thud" of a 4x12 can. One of these pedals, into a Fender clean, into a 4x12 should get you there. Into an open back 1x12 pine cabinet? Naw.5150s can be had cheap but they sound like {censored} unmodded.

Members notjonahbutnoah Posted January 5, 2013 Members Share Posted January 5, 2013 Plus one on a 412 helping a lot.I use the elements into a sparkly fendery clean into a 412 and though I don't go for metal tone, it's well within my reach.

Members SonicMayhem42 Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 I have the Triple Wreck, Barber Dirty Bomb and Boss Metal Zone. Metal zone was a 20 dollar buy that I keep around for rare occasions when I want that sound. There is a hundred dollar difference between the Dirty Bomb and Triple Wreck. The ditry bomb is a great sounding pedal with a 3 way switch for the mid control and an internal trim pot to control the tightness of the low end which is very useful . The triple wreck has alittle more gain (not really needed Imo), a boost built in, and is a little more twewkable. Both are great pedals it just depends on your budget.

Members The Interceptor Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 I've had the Metal Zone, The Elements and the Hardwire Metal Distortion. I still have the Wampler Triple Wreck and the MI Audio Megalith Delta. I favour the Megalith - a little quieter, but I could live with the Triple Wreck too.

Members 3volved Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 Blackstar HT-Distx is basically a triple-rec in pedal form. I highly recommend it for any type of metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
