Members murch33 Posted February 27, 2007 Members Share Posted February 27, 2007 I've got both DOD's in that list, not the Digitech reissues. They're definitely what I'd call "heavy", although I don't know how the new versions compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members CapnMarvel Posted February 27, 2007 Members Share Posted February 27, 2007 Black Sabbath: Marshall/Laney/Orange/Hiwatt style all-tube head SG Dallas Rangemaster or Clone Metallica: Boogie Amp or similar Boost pedal humbucker-loaded guitar (doesn't really matter which one). Iron Maiden: humbucker-loaded guitar (doesn't really matter which one). Boost pedal Marshall JCM800 stack Pantera: Dean Explorer or similar (doesn't really matter which one). Some godawful distortion pedal (whatever's on your list is fine). SS Stack (what...Gallein Kreuger? I'm not a Pantera amp expert.) See a pattern here? It's about LOUD AMPS pushed by HUMBUCKER-EQUIPPED GUITARS, with maybe a little BOOST, not flat-out dirt-pedal sound, with the possible exception of Dimebag, who sounds like assmeat anyway (though I do like his riffs).

Members metalhead666666 Posted February 27, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 27, 2007 I think I'm probably going to get the digitech death metal and I do need a better and bigger amp but until I get a job or something thats going to have to wait and I just want something now that will give me more distorted sounds through my little amps. I do have the humbucker loaded guitar thing all my guitars except my strat (with a humbucker in the bridge and overwounds in the neck and middle) are humbucker loaded and I got the sg for the black sabbath already. I will have the superstrat for the rest in about a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really all about the amp, man. I didn't really get it until I got a full tube amp, and I was lucky enough to have that be a vintage Marshall half0stack on the cheap. Seriously...save up about $1000 and get a JCM800 and a 4x12. Until then, get a few Black Sabbath tab books, 'Kill 'em All' through '..and Justice for All' tab books, and a good Iron Maiden and Judas Priest tab book (I've not seen one), a scale book, and a chord book, and practice every spare second you can. The Death Metal through whatever amp you have is fine for practicing. Then get your REAL amp and write your own songs based on what you know. I wish I had the discipline to be a good metal player. I respect those who can (meaning folks like Kirk Hammett and Dimebag, not mile-a-second classical assholes like Y. J. Malmsteen). Just remember it's 90% in the attitude and the sound, not how fast you can sweep pick. (Though sweep picking is nice to know as a skill.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members metalhead666666 Posted February 27, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 27, 2007 Thanks CapnMarvel I have a Peavey TransTube 258 EFX its got an 8" speaker its actually pretty nice it gets load (almost load enogh) but no distortion so I have been using my brothers little behringer that has distortion but is really quiet and I want to use the better one. I'm on school vacation this week and I'm going to learn all the songs I can right now I am learning how to play metallica's one and I need to switch the distortion in the middle of the song on that and thought it was about time for a pedal. and someomne already had 666 so I needed to add more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have the superstrat for the rest in about a week. I honestly think anything besides the DS-1 will be a bad decision. The Death Metal is awful as is the Grunge. I think it's safe to assume whatever that last one was will be awful, too. The DS-1 should have enough gain for you. Try them all out at a store.

That's really surprising. Ask if they have any in the back that you can demo next time.Give the Grunge and Death Metal a try too, if you want. I find that the Grunge has an unusable about of gain and fizz. Even with the gain knob way down, it's over the top. The Death Metal is just.. ugh. Maybe these reissues are different from the DOD versions. They may be just what you're looking for, too. The only way to know is to hear them in person. You can probably find all of these for super cheap on Ebay, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members metalhead666666 Posted February 27, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 27, 2007 The music store that I go to is horrible on pedals they have a few I was suprised when they didn't have that I asked if they had any and they wern't out yet but they didn't. I'll try to find some adio clips of the grunge and see what I can find on ebay too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
