« DigiTech Hot Head Analog Distortion »

Published on 07/30/04 at 15:00
I have bought many distortion units in the past, such as the Rocktron Rampage, Dunlop MXR Distortion Plus, Dano Bacon and Eggs and, Ibanez TS9. None of them did what i wanted so i decided to go out and but a differnt one. I went to guitar center and played a bunch of different ones. I played a dano wasabi overdrive and a digitech tone driver and hot rod, a whole lot of em. But I decided on the DigiTech Hot Head. I paid 40 bucks.

This is definatly a very very good pedal. I dont know where to start. MY problem wiht pedals was that if i wanted the distortion to sound good, the clean would be all muddy. And vice versa. But this one handled it. It sounds way better than the DS 1 and it's so versatile. YOu can get like Those cheesy "raging metal" sounds and like a marshal-ish stack sound or a softer type mmore bluesy sound. It sucks that this pedal is so new. If it were older and had been around longer, everyone would have one.It rocks.

Not really anything. The battery life is short, but thats life. Nothin major.

Its a freakin tank. It weighs a ton and if it fell of a building and hit you on the head, you would be dead, but the pedal would be just fine.

Cure for the common distortion. Kicks ass. Get it. At 40 bucks, whats to lose?
