All user reviews for the DigiTech Death Metal

Good distortion pedal.
However, as the name suggests, it is not polivalente (no level adjustment distortion, it is always full).

UTILIZATION

Pedal very easy to use.
The settings are reliable because the knobs are a bit hard which prevents them tounrent with the vibrations of the scene (near battery ...).
The pedal is heavy and does not move when used on stage unlike other brands that are light pedals. on the other hand it is less convenient to carry.

SOUND QUALITY

Good record to play metal.

OVERALL OPINION

Use for 2 years, it is his job.

pedal analog saturation

UTILIZATION

yeah there are only 4 buttons to rotate the rest is already done c ^ ^

SOUND QUALITY

I think that to use s know it takes a bit of experience, maturity and good amp refexion and all lights ...

OVERALL OPINION

I say that that is perfect, I say no more than that is the stew, for my part, everything but everything is so thoroughly on the "gain" of my pedals, so in a way it makes me completely agree on this side of.

my chaining is quite complex, I separate it into two loops via a boss ls 2, I enter the 535Q with my and my jpm jpm p1 p3 granted in D, then j attack the DM and then I go in and spend a MT2 in an mfx (Zoom 8080) for effect as the eq, delay, reverb etc. etc. etc. the and I finished (your choice) or guitar rig with a psycho delay; a custom eq 2 * 12 and a front and Another nifty trick or gadget in my valvking 2 * 12 in return for bombing the power amp

I use this pedal in 90% of cases to have rhythmic biting well in progressive (dream theater way) this side of the frankly I conquered.

Against it by missing a bit of texture to the lead for once I am back on the opportunities that mt2 more "soft" and therefore more enjoyable for something clean.

"color" of sound between the two pedal is substantially the same thanks to the equalo of my 8080.


All that to say that c is rather a very good pedal, but that we must think and think a bit more to try the exploited and realize that c is not crap unlike what some people say or think of way too subjective.

to tell you, I even tried to input the 2 * 12, with bass = 0, middle = 10; 0 treble, and all run on the pedal and frankly sends ca severe steak!! same volume was 5 (go ahead try you'll see!)

it; you say has the breast: a distortion in the input of an amp it "condemns" the clean channel and already changing the face of ca ..... his;

you have to play ....

Analog distortion pedal for extreme metal.

A-3 band EQ and a level knob.

-1 Amp input.
-1 Input mixer.
-1out.

-The construction of the pedal is solid.

UTILIZATION

-Very easy to use, the pedal comes immediately sound when turned on.
Configuration-simple also.

SOUND QUALITY

-I mainly cheeks'' death metal'', but the sound I was looking rather cold, although this pedal has a lot of bass I find the sound is a little too dirty and greasy for me.

-It is suitable for heavy metal as'' death metal'' etc. .. But not suitable for the more technical metal and clean.

OVERALL OPINION

-This pedal is generally quite good, for those who are fond of big sound that task: this pedal is for you! Those who prefer a metal cleaner, technically, I do not recommend it.

I paid $50 for this pedal at george's music. My amp's stock distortion just wasn't cutting it so i started looking for distortion pedals. I previously bought the Turbo Flange by Digitech and was very satisfied so i decided to get another digitech. I didn't want to pay $80 for the metal master so i looked at their new series.

I love the raw sound it gives perfect for any type of metal. I currently use a 10 watt guitar package amp with it. When i go out to stores and try out the world reknown marshall distortion/amps and a guitar that costs double mine i still prefer the death metal pedal over it. Can't wait till i get my marshall 50dfx then itll be even more amazing. Sounds amazing with downtuned strings and is great for rhythm as well as doing solos. Also an incredibly versitile distortion. Has as many if not more different tones then the metal master and costed much less. Amazing deal.

Hmmm....Not much really that i don't like...it takes a while to control the feedback. When i first got it i'd have to keep clicking it off to prevent terrible feedback. Once you learn how to control it the feedback can actually be a very good thing. I use the treble setting and the tone at 0 to create the least amount of feedback.

My brother dropped a ten pound weight on it...it still works as great as ever...also the digitech stompbox design is very comfortable.

One word to completely describe it - Lethal. Most amazing thing i've ever bought. I highly highly recomend this distortion for anyone whos into metal

- Distortion pedal "extreme"
C ******* not break with only 4 knobs (3-band EQ + Volume 1)
Between Exit 1 + 2 (1 + to amp to a mixer)
Operates a 9V battery or adapter (we also regret that the adapter be not provided, damage)

I put 9 because the characters' suits me well but I trs does not 10 because of the adapter

UTILIZATION

ARCHI use - simple !!!!!!! (That's why I have chosen other)
There is a volume and what I call the 3 knobs magic! 1 1 Low Mid High and 1 and go!
The small changes that are felt can be obtained and contains up to his heavy acute disto has a limit of the unbearable (yes I did too: p) is obtained whatever you want, in terms sounds are heavy course (do not think by having a versatile pedal hands if you make a mistake and I recommend you all see the cot Hot Head Digitech also home ) made no attempt at gain adjustment, as there are always a step it back !!!!!!
As he advises against having the micro ffective and not otherwise infamous stews gard to feedback!

Well I'm going to not even put 10 because it is a pedal trs trs typ that does not suit everyone.

SOUND QUALITY

As I said disto extremely effective when you are a child of metal (I prne peace and tolerance on this subject so I speak for all metals ranging from Pantera to Slipknot)
The bass is heavy and has prompted sharp-edged'm even too much for what are the medium I could not given an objective opinion on this subject since I hate the mediums, business got.
I pass this machine has a decibel drop in LP C all springs in Studi in Peavey Pro (yes I have no tube amp but the one I threw the stone that gives me the amp ) and ca demonte see if we push it flows a little paint paper: p

So I put 10 because when you search a metal sound is really perfect!

OVERALL OPINION

I use this beast for only 2 days and I already love wow!
Physically I find it terrible red on a black background making wickedly ca
Report quality / price trs interresting considering the simplicity report / ffective.
For a little more sousou You also have the Uber Metal Line 6 of which is also terrible in this area that is the metal with two knobs and more, and further detailed settings you can get excellent sound also.

this choice I would do 100 times I'm really a fan of any small Digitech pedals I plan also to make me my total Digi chain effects' can be so else tries.

The next and scratches you good (I mean the guitar: p)

SATURATION PDAL of asses extreme, indeed, the name "death metal" is well suited to the craft.
It's numrique (well so says the record that goes with it)
There is an originality to what input and output, more output console simulation with 12 hp 4 * british.

1 level equalization and bass, middle, trebble ... rglage and no gain, it is the max and stays there. Any fawns when achte pedals with a crit "death metal" in red blood on it is that has not be used for a blues crunch to Popuri: p

UTILIZATION

We can not RVer easier if you turn a knob means the diffrence right away, it is EXTREMELY prcis a real rgal ... Can be gathered both have dug in his ultra mdiums to the nag, with a powerful sound and sharp mdiums ptent that the head (in a good NSIS the term) for solos.

Little less on some rhythm, if not quite the legalization RULES can do a draft, when I tell you that it prcis is that of bte ncssite rglages quite thin in terms of what we want exactly ... and combinations are important, a real rgal in the end, when even.

SOUND QUALITY

As adj t say, it's pretty extreme saturation as it was easy to make a big palm mutting dcollent that the tapestry and make a whistling harmonics to double pter glass ... A rgal for thrasheux that will have power to spare, and for blacks and other deatheux mtalleux that have a saturated sound you back the guts ... The grain is relatively tight for the "made in United States," and both my j'apprcie PERIOD Black metal, the pedals it lends itself well trs.

I use it with a Warlock and a big combo transistors 100 watts with 2 hp 12 ", as that was spitting hard with the disto trs buttocks ... big sound, a bit cold, normal j ' did not in my loupiotte bte, but I like a. APRS there's no secret, the more your hp will be bigger and you will have more watts and the distortion will be expressed, in short:

SPITTING CA SEVERE this stuff !!!!!!

(I am biased, I know but I want him to 10 especially for the price drisoire!)

OVERALL OPINION

My having been 8 months, never had problems with.
I love the sound, big, tight grain a little cold tit ... if your ports on the black you'll love, and thrasheux navigate, even when the sound is pretty standard.

my having paid 70 euros in Paris, I love my girlfriend is jealous. In addition, compared to 120 that costs a boss MT2 (which I hate her, personally, I, ego) there's no photo, I would do this choice rather than a double!

(I almost put around 10: p)

Distortion pedals to the metal.
4 knobs: level, low, mid, hi
an output amplifier, a mixer + a mule that type tube amp 100w marshall
I put 10 for the mid knob that allows to easily obtain the sound you want (more or less hollowed that are not found in many pedals ...

UTILIZATION

Using super simple!
low midrange and treble super simple adjustment.
Manuel very clear, it can be used for start-up sound, and possible transformations tt!
Infinity sounds (metal of course)

SOUND QUALITY

Super sound!
terrible distortion, thanks to the gain pushed tjs has his!
I use a Jackson RR5 and a Marshall amp MG100DFX .... oops ...
I love the bass and treble (js mediums like the middle too).
In short, ITS TERRIBLE FOR METALLE! a killing ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one month and I still Be tjs mouth because:
- Report qualitprix excels, t! (65 a Pigalle)
- Distos good "beef" (excuse my language)

I do it again this election at least 100 times.

I tried the master digitech matel because everyone speaks of good and j'tais very disappointed for the price.
TRY THE YOU will not be disappointed!

Oriented metal distortion pedal (as the name implies)
4 knobs: level, low, mid, hi
an output amplifier, a mixer + that emulates a tube amp 100w marshall type
I put 10 for the mid knob that allows to easily obtain the sound you want (more or less hollowed out) that are not found in many pedals ...

UTILIZATION

Operation is super simple, it connects to the pedal, you plug the pedal to the amp, pressed, and it tears right now!
the knobs are one of the highlights of this pedal, they are super accurate, and can easily reach to the sound you want. more presets given in the manual are good starting points pout shape their own sound from the different sounds available.
the battery is easily accessible, it is far from the wah dunlop where you have to disassemble the bottom of the pedal.
Here, you press one of "hinges" of the pedal with the tip of a jack and it's good.
my only regret about this pedal conserne abscence of the knob to adjust the gain, but at the same time if you buy a pedal with written on death metal in red on a black background research is that not too versatility ...

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is mortal, very large saturation, depending on the settings of mediums, we can move from one type Canibal corpse to his sound ac / dc with a little more saturated than normal, to metallica, soad ...
However, it lacks a little heat, but I have not yet tried it on a tube amp ...
accuracy of the sound is remarkable, the grain is tighter than the dod death metal, seems generally more anoint means well all the strings without ever having to spray infamous s'échape of the amp.
thanks to specific knobs, I can even make it sound very large palm mute heavy with (only) humbucker bridge of my guitar, not to mention tearing solos within the meaning of the word, try you will understand ...

addition of 20/04/2006
after more than a year of use, I come back after the test to confirm other distortion pedals (mt2 ds2 ds1) and this pedal really all tears, for against, having been able to compare the sounds with models race condition, I return to say that for the old school metal, this pedal has a grain too tight for my taste, and not enough sustain, is a pedal that I use primarily forthe rithmique, because I find the sound too "clean" for my taste.

Let me explain, the sound is super saturated, either. but it lacks the side "filthy" that I like during the solos, it is probably because the grain is very tight ...
So I remove a point, no more, because I found it sounds great on a big amp (good quality) here ... it equals certainly not a distortion of tube amps, but compared to other pedals on the market, it is worth 9
I'll be back in a few months since purchase of a compressor and a delay ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two months, and I can not get enough, it leaves a very distinctive sound very heavy metal, tearing solos ...
I imported from the United States for 54 dollars (I live in Morocco and the course of the euro hurts c. ..)
So taking everything into account I had at 40 euros.
I would definitely do it again this election, in part to the ridiculous price but also for sound.
I might be buying a boss ds1 for versatility.

CF: other opinion, everything has been said ...
Bcp Gain, Noise gate recommended.

UTILIZATION

It could not be simple: hop in the clean channel, turn the knobs and go! SETTINGS st very simple, you can easily find desired sounds.
Damage to the gain knob missing

SOUND QUALITY

I wanted a well raw (true black) and no problem, it perfectly fulfills this goal. Equa V, hmm ... it sizzles nickel
Somewhat synthetic sound good but ca not mind the style. For other metal sound it makes tt did the trick.

OVERALL OPINION

I have not actually used, I had an Engl Fireball with V30 shortly after, and the picture is not happening very easily from the raw ...

If not for the price (really cheap!) And a condition that looks very typical of sth is a very good pedal, you just have to believe it can replace a good amp!

4 potentiomtres: Volume / Bass / mid / high (no gain)
What is of note is that this ct rglages of legalization can go from one extreme to another (probably because the pedals uses filters). I hear you can by, for example turning compltement low or, alternatively, add a max. It has a ct INTERESTED.

Note that the pedals has 2 outputs: 1 FOR the amp and the other between prvue to live in a mixing desk (and simulating a 4x12 seems prsence it). Trs honntement, the output line has little intrt
: The sound is not enough and I cram (question of taste and can be SETTING THE lack of me).
In résumé: efforts made (+ knobs powerful dual output), but lack of adjustable gain. Well ... 6 / 10?

UTILIZATION

The usage is simple: one connects -> we play!
L o a plot thickens (and given the comments of aa previously laisss dgouter in more than one!) Is rglage ct. Attention, we understand well: there are only 4 knobs so it's really not complicated to run and listen! But ... ilfaut time to find a sound that is in line with its skyscrapers, its style of play, the amp etc. ...
The manual provides many rglages but the names are not explicit and, like all pre-rglages facts, does not ring with the gear they utiliss them and especially c ... is based on the feel of each!
In résumé: no head-taking the logical but a little good will ncessaire. 7 / 10

SOUND QUALITY

This PDAL filled out its rle my opinion. It dlivre much much gain but just grate the amount of gain over the volume of pickups guitar. If there are knobs for volume and good performance microphones has posed no problem!
For example, I play in a hardcore punk band (with a lot of parts mtal). I have a universe (UV777PBK), a bandit 112 in a 4x12 marshall branch (rather marshMal) and a Boss DD6. My guitar volume knob is never above 5 or 6 except for the solo (10/10 particular because of the tapping and sustain!)
My rglages:
- On the PDAL: Volume = 3-4, Low = 8-9, medium = 5-5.5; Aigues = 5
- On the amp: Canal clean => Volume = 3, Low = 8; Mediums = 4 6; Aigues = 5 6.5
resonance = 7.5, T = Dynamics August 7
Without EXAGRES, what adlivre bury a lot of people (it's pretty violent!).

The note is quite personal and adquate comes to style, but to have it tested in solid areas (HxC, Punk, Rock, Trash, Death, Prog and even for solos funky pieces!), provided we know the master ca balance so well: 7 / 10

NB: only 7 because it's true that it causes a lot of feedback.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been 2 or 3 years now I use it ... I had a t I o PERIOD dgout left unchecked because I had enough and I found her draft. I test a lot of other distos (MetalZone, JackHammer, DS1, HeavyMetal, those in GT6 and stuff of all kinds), but the one for me a lot in the end.
Ct qualitprix I think we found there carrment well. it's worth to have it below the elbow for its price (compared to a MT2 frankly that costs more)

I do it again but I confess that choice prfrer my other pedals: a Guyatone MMX Metal Monster (which is top but ... break! Sniff)

I also want to dnoncer a certain attitude of the guitarists who have tried and dclarent "pedals this is rotten ... it is worthless ... the sound is dirty." Once again I gots the BPS and the colors do not discuss the quality of play ... a little dj!
Sr is the pedals do not forgive but must first question before proposing to hold one might almost be described as defamatory (ah. .. if I was working with such people Digitech I tell them ...)

In résumé: a frankly honnte pedals that provides a big big sound

- Distortion pedals of extreme Metal.
- Good old analog technology (heureusement. ..).
- One input and two output jack classical guitar (output amp 'and exit' mixing 'with accumulation of cabinet).
- A 3-band EQ and a traditional knob level.
- The construction of the pedals is quality.

> In DEFINITIONS, CHARACTERISTICS classic a good ide for the exit 'mixing', for there is a point against black: there is no gain ... SETTING THE

UTILIZATION

The configuration is more than simplistic, the edition of sounds is a breeze!

SOUND QUALITY

Whatever you use for tuning the little that you are in Mount humbucker, the sound is rather rough and imprcis, I think this is because there is no gain adjustable. .. I think the problem vritable of the pedals is l. Rhythm, one can find good sound, nanmoins still fat enough despite the EQ trs effective. Perfect for the old school death in fact (Carcass, Nihilist, Pestilence ...). Solo, the pedals is not exactly the height and the grain is not really hi-gain short, you can feel the limits of the gear.

OVERALL OPINION

I had the opportunity to test the pedals from every angle, this is a good alternative for beginners on a budget guitar for the price (in nine or OCCAZ). Much better than the Behringer copies, of the same rank as the Boss MT-2, worse than the Guyatone (Metal Monster) or T-Rex (Bloody Mary), this is largely sympathetic PDAL anchor in the 80's, perfect for an old school style if you search a well prcis. Nanmoins it is not because of lack of versatile SETTING THE gain, compress the sound too. The sound is not breathing. Guitarists looking for sounds and dynamic prcis will be due. In short, a PDAL plutt orient beginners or for those who love distos pourritos.

Saturation analog pedals ...

Well, in those who accuse raction not be able to change the gain, I had our answer to that, there is Metalmaster trs etc are good! The death metal targets the extreme bottom mtal brutal neglect the usefulness of having a dictionary and ignorant until the existence of philosophy (like Schwarzenegger in Predator) ... I did not say that all mtalleux taient idiots, just to play that solo satriani, not rely on the pedals, that's all ...

Otherwise, 3-band EQ, 1 between 2 outputs and a volume knob

UTILIZATION

Sounds great thanks ISSA change qualisation the three bands on the manual, which manual?
the only usefulness of the manual are examples of "trains pedals" provided in this catalog dguis manually ...

SOUND QUALITY

I would say that the pedals is allierve sadistic ... While digging the grave, is monstrous ... ke its Personally, I'm a fan, I keep my tubeking for solos, did a great ANIB

OVERALL OPINION

Nothing wrong, I got it, I'm buying a spar Jekyll and Hyde from Visual Sound to me in the back for its grimey sounds to which I am so attached ...
