All user reviews of 5/5 for the DigiTech Death Metal

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.

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
