« Boss MEtal Zone Distortion PEdal »

I like the mid range sweep parametric EQ. I set the mid EQ to maximum negative, then sweep the frequency back and forth until I get a "V" sound that I like. Tons of bass. Sounds good to me in a transistor Peavey amp as well as in a Soldano tube amp (however its two distinctly different sounds). Ideal for palm mute distortion.
Be advised that the distortion is thick so your other equipment needs to be able to handle it; otherwise it can muddy out "weak" amps and speakers. (This is not a tube screamer or a pure volume boast to boast a lead section, so if you are looking for that, this unit will disappoint.) On the other hand, if you've got a 120 watt tube (or transistor) head with robust speakers to match. Whoa, this thing can do the "wall of sound with lots of bass" thing. Never tried recording with it.
Solid.
I'm giving this a five because when the EQ is "sucked out" or "V", it makes a great massive palm mute sound. Look elsewhere for a "cut through the band" lead device.
