For very heavy tones, Danelectro vs Barber Dirty Bomb vs Digitech Hardwire metal vs.?

[Pott]

Well right now I use a Danelectro Metal I for my heavy tones, but I also really dug the Barber Dirty Bomb sounds from the PGS demo and the soundclips (though I usually don't trust soundclips mind you). The Digitech Hardwire was also a serious contender... Which would you guys go for if any?

 

I have tried as my metal sounds so far:

Seymour Duncan Power Grid (Dark, uber thick sounding, not bad)

Self built Crunchbox with Blues Pro as boost (Very, very nice)

Danelectro Metal I (A bit thinner sounding but cuts well and sounds good enough for

For the ultimate heavyness (for me atleast), i have not found a more slaying tone than two Death By Audio boxes stacked together !

 

 

SG -->FUZZ WAR --> Interstellar Over Drive -->Bassman (cranked to 10) into two Marshall 1960B's.

 

 

Try it . . .

Ibanez Tube King maybe?

I don't want to recommend a metal zone, but the clips I've heard of the Keeley modified Mt-2 sound pretty kickass.

A crunchbox always will kick ass.

I'd check out the Subdecay F-bomb. It's all J-fets, which should clean up fairly well when you back off the volume. Otherwise, a high gain silicon fuzz face might suit your needs.

Digitech Hardwire TL-2 for Tool and other heavy tones

It is a killer lead tone too

I Reckon the Barber, but it's debatable whether or not it will cut through the mix or not....

Another combo that i am GAS'ing to try, is :

 

Pigtronix Polysaturator into a Mudhoney T-Rex

 

 

But i do not have the Pigtronix box yet !
