Members Taylor704 Posted November 9, 2008 Members Share Posted November 9, 2008 Has anyone tried one of this, own one of these or have any experience with them? I know everyone says it's suited for heavy metal but the low gain sounds were excellent on the ProGuitarShop demo and i kinda wanted to use it as my main distortion instead of having to have more than 1 Any help is much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IRG Posted November 9, 2008 Members Share Posted November 9, 2008 This is one pedal I kinda want for my heavier needs too. Sounds excellent I agree from the clips. I would check out the Hardwire Metal pedal too, but I havent heard clips of it. The reviews, at TGP no less were quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pott Posted November 9, 2008 Members Share Posted November 9, 2008 I didn't think it was suited for modern metal. Think more the intro to Muse's Plug In Baby, with that fuzzy edge you can't really get rid of. It's a GREAT pedal with a real fun tone, quite versatile and cleans up great from the guitar. But I could never get a metal sound out of it. Too fuzzy. If that's your thing though of course, awesome! For some reason the clips sounded less fuzzy than it actually was through my rig.

No chance of a Metallica tone out of it? If not, my search for a distortion pedal that can do it all goes on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jules-RM Posted November 9, 2008 Members Share Posted November 9, 2008 This thread is not helping with my Blackstar GAS. I love the sound in the PGS clip, but wouldn't mind a little more fuzzy character. Makes it sound more like a Rat, from the description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr.Picklebottom Posted November 9, 2008 Members Share Posted November 9, 2008 ... Makes it sound more like a Rat, from the description. in my opinion, it doesn't sound at all like a rat. it actually sounds good. i have a turbo rat and i loathe it.
