Members decrepitbirthed Posted October 26, 2010 Members Share Posted October 26, 2010 I am new here and have been looking for a pedal that will Death Metal/extreme metal type rhythym tones. I normally use high gain amps for this, but trying out some new things. I am looking for a well built pedal that has good tone. Not looking at cheap Boss Metal Zone type pedals. Suggestions?

Members ChuckNorris1982 Posted October 26, 2010 Members Share Posted October 26, 2010 I'm a firm believer that pedals don't do death/thrash/tech/etc metal tones well at all. No pedal will ever sound as good for death metal as a guitar plugged into a high gain head and a 4x12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kayzer Posted October 26, 2010 Members Share Posted October 26, 2010 +1 on the High Gain Head but there are a few very good pedals that work well for death metal. Here are a few clips i made: No Waiting Time, semi expensive and very amp like (warm) with a brutal amount of Low End[YOUTUBE]tkPWbXEMRho[/YOUTUBE] Long Waiting Time, expensive but probably the most brutal pedal out there, not as warm as the Dominator and offering more extreme settings[YOUTUBE]tiXeErk4bas[/YOUTUBE] The Cheap alternative to both above mentioned pedals at 140$[YOUTUBE]ErFYxScnfU8[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few pedals that are "good enough" for practicing but I've never played anything I would gig with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ambient Posted October 26, 2010 Members Share Posted October 26, 2010 What kind of amp are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RUExp? Posted October 26, 2010 Members Share Posted October 26, 2010 Well, the classic death metal pedal is the Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal. Totally different than a Metal Zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members spentron Posted October 26, 2010 Members Share Posted October 26, 2010 The problem with saying pedals aren't good enough for death metal, is that's what a lot of death metal is made with. It can't sound too good, too pleasant, gotta be ugly ... a lot of it is getting the notes to come out while still covering it all in distortion, which does depend on how you play. The trick sometimes is a sound where no matter how muddy the guitar signal is, it will pull out some attack. Other than that there are no rules ... Morbid Angel uses Rats, right? I think the Digitech Metal Master, and the Metal amp in the RPs and the Boss Metal Core, are decent, didn't like the analog Death Metal pedal near as much. Although I only messed with a Metal Zone once about 15 years ago, that was enough to see a lot of possibility of user error with the controls. There was one thing I heard, some death metal in the MOD tracker format which is multitrack, you can remix it yourself. It was brutal all together but take away the bass and drums and it was the tiniest little thin guitar tone you've ever heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
