All user reviews for the DigiTech Metal Master

I got it for xxxmas but my dad paid $125 CAD for it at Long & McQuade.

I wanted an awesome biting/rumbly distortion and this pedal delivers in spades. The 5:00 position on the Morph knob is kinda like a "High Tech" metal tone, the 12:00 position is a thin, piercing sound and the 8:00 position is a biting old school tone on steroids (f#ckin awesome for low tunings, you can practically feel the sizzle man!). You can make a low death metalish tone or a sharp shred tone and even a lo-fi tone (by scooping the bass and cranking the mids) and everything in between.

With the morph knob all the way to the right and the lows dimed, there is a huge low end feedback/resonance that is almost louder than the guitar signal and with the highs boosted theres some white noise but nothing that cant be fixed by a good noise gate. With the lower morph settings feedback is a serious issue since my pickups in my Ibanez Stagestar need to be potted. At low volumes this is not an issue though.

Built out of cast zinc or steel i believe. It has stood up to me pounding on it during gigs and im a relatively big guy (210 lbs. 6'1). It has a non-slip rubber base and foot pad which kinda sucks when ur using it on linoleum floors cause it gets covered in dust and is hard to clean but no gripes there. The knobs feel very solid and shouldnt break anytime soon. I use both the CIT and normal outputs at the same time to run 2 amps (a fender 15G for high end sizzle and a Peavey 140 watt bass combo for crushing low end and it sounds absolutely crushing through this combination.

I play thrash, death metal, industrial metal and even some detuned nu-metal riffs and this pedal has a setting for all of them. Worth every fuckin penny that was spent on it and maybe even more. Would be a little better if it had a built in noise gate like the Ibanez 7th Heaven but that pedal costs $300 here in Canada so it will cost me less to get a Rocktron HUSH or Boss NT-2 with this.

I got it from Sound Control for £75. It would of been £80 but I was a fiver short so the guy took down the price ¬_¬

I was after a heavy metal metallica sounding distortion and i found it in this. It is totally awesome! You can get lovley crunchy distortion or really cutting sharp attack. It has allowed me to emulate metallicas sound excellently and when doubled up with delay, the solos can sound just as good!

Yeah everyones been complaining about the battery life. I agree. I already had an AC adapter for my other pedal so I'm using that right now, so the battery life kinda sux. I would like to be able to switch between the different distortions without having to stop and turn the dials by hand, but sound wise, its flawless.

The unit is made out of Cast Iron. In other words, it is unbreakable. I have stomped as hard as i can like 10times in a row on it on stage and it just sits there smiling back at you! It comes with a 6 year warrenty so i think that shows you how confident Digitech are that their product WILL NOT break.

I was looking for a metallica crunchy high gain metal sound and this provides it excellently. I wouldnt mind a gain dial but its not really neccesary as the sounds you can get out of it really dont need tweaked much more. Most amps come with a gain dial anyway so its not all that important. It is a little pricier than other pedals but you get what you pay for. The sound and quality of this stomp box is unbeatable in the distortion pedal field.

I paid $80 for mine's at Guitar Center
I bought it bcause i wanted a razor sharp distortion with big sustain for leads and chunky dropped "D" rythim.



The best of this unit has to be the sustain and wild extreme amounts of gain. It has very quiet bypass and it can make any amp even a wimpy little one loud and mean

When i crank the volume on the unit, it looses some of the definition. The distortion tends to be very wild and hard to control at higher volumes. This effect is great for lead, but when two guitars are involved in rythim, it makes the song sound like mud. The left hand side Effect options on the pedal all sound like AM radio. The 12' o clock position is good, the best are 1 and 2 o clock. To take it beyond that is extreme, kinda death metal but horrible when cranked loud.

The quality is excellent but you definitely must conside buying the adaptor. One thing that pisses me off is that the control knobs esily shift positions when transportin the pedal in my pedal board. sturdier knobs would be nice.

The metal pedal is great for lead. Solos sound awsome specially when using a whah or a delay to compliment the distortion. However, if you have two guitars in the band and both are playing dirty rythim, the metal pedal will not be your best friend when it comes to clarity and definition.

I bought this pedal at a House of Guitars in San Antonio for $80.99+tax. I got a discount 'cause I was a student there. I got it 'cause I wanted heavier distortion than my amp's distortion.

NOTHING!!! No, I'm just kiddin'. This pedal is perfect for heavey metal and hard rock. Even punk if you set it a certain way. I really like the "Morph" knob. It can create abunch of different distortion sounds. It's really cool.

The only things I'd change is the color to red, and, I'd want a gain control on it. But everything else is good.

It's made out of metal, I think, so, it's made well. I haven't used it at a gig or anything, but it seems like it'd be okay.

This pedal rox. If you want a good distortion pedal, get this one. The BOSS MT-2 Metal Zone is a good one, too, but you can use the Morph knob to make the MT-2's sound.

P.S.
Get the adapter! It costs like $25, but if you think about it, you'll go through that much on batteries in a week!(it takes 9 volt batteries, and those aint cheap!) You might be wondering why you'd need to spend that much on batteries, well the pedal goes through a battery faster than you can say Hokey Pokey, a lot of times(about 2 hours). So get the adapter, it's worth the extra money.

I paid 100$ US for it in a shop in Nashville, TN

Damn this pedal has the most gain and the most attack that I have ever heard in a guitar stomp box, set aside maybe the DOD Death Metal, which is less gainy but more crunchy. The Death Metal setting has massive amounts of crunch and sustain and basically just kicks ass.

I don't like everything on the counter-clockwise side of the pedal, distortion just gets shitty and distant sounding.

Built like a rock, drained my first battery in like two hours. Thought maybe they were shitty batteries, bought some better ones, loaded it and they lasted like one hour and a half. BUY AN ADAPTOR!!!

This is a great pedal if you into out-of-control distortion, crunchy rhythm and great sustain for your leads.

I bought this pedal at Guitar Center cuz i wanted a distortion pedal that will pretty much do anything... It was like 80 bucks.

What I like is the wide range of sound you get out of it. This thing has a very wide variety of distortion. This thing can get your emo punk metal sound truly. Plus I like the 6 year warranty if you register.

The battery lasted around 2 hours then I decided to buy an adapter. The sound is a lil crunchy and heavy but due to its wide variety i can adjust it to where i like it.

I haven't tried smashing this thing, or tried stomping it in hard, but I would say its decent.

This thing is great and i havent bought another distotion effects pedal yet. I would recommend this to metal heads, emo kids, whateva this thing is great.

i bought this at my local store for 150 canadian.

i love how you cang et so many heavey tones out of it for anyband you want and youc an also get the tones of other brand name pedals. its also very reliable and strong so you dont have to worry aobut it braking on you

the pnly thing i didnt like was that batteries only last for roughly 5 hours of playing so i suggest you buy an ac adapter

the quality is very good and it is strng as hell. it wont let you down when you are playing and you can stomp on it all you want and it wont break

i suggest if you like heavey metal punk or rock buy this pedal you wont be dissapointed

This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

I order it through Musician's Friend and paid 89.99

I had only about an hour with it before it broke. It sounded very good with exacly the tone I was looking for while it lasted.

Like I said earlier I had it for at most an hour when it just plain stopped working, the battery was brand new and I tried others so it wasn't that. I think it had something to do with the switch mechanism. I was very disappointed.

JUNK

I would not buy another bases on my experience with this one's quality.

I got this pedal from a House of Guitars in San Antonio for about $80.99, not including tax. I got a discount because I'm a student there.

NOTHING!! No, not really. I love it. It's perfect for playing heavey metal & stuff. I especially like the MORPH knob. This pedal totally kicks my amp's distortion's ass. I also like that System of a Down uses DigiTech, and this pedal's DigiTech too.

The only thing I don't like about this is that it's not red. That's about it.

It's metal, I'm pretty sure. I haven't had it very long, so I don't really know how it would be at a gig or something like that, but it seems like it'd be okay.

If you want a heavy distortion pedal, get this pedal. The BOSS MT-2 is good also, but you can use the Morph knob to create the MT-2's sound. So get this pedal.

I bought this for myself at Guitar Center in East Brunswick, NJ. I paid $89.99 plus tax.

This is a stomp box with a bonus -- a morph knob. This feature takes the settings you have, and helps you vary them further. Through this pedal, you can range from light distortion that goes great with palm muting, a mid distortion that is great for high toned solo's, and then an amazingly deep yet crunch packing distortion reminiscent of 80's hair bands. This is an exceptional pedal, comparable to pedals that are 4 or 5 times the price. Digitech knows what they are doing, and this pedal proves it.

Well, with the great variables in tone and control this pedal offers, I constantly find myself wanting to be able to have presets. It make become more of a workstation at that point, but that would make it simply over the top.

This pedal can take a beating. I have not had one problem with this unit on stage or at home. The batteries last longer, and don't start to fade early as they tend to in Ibanez or Boss pedals I have used. Alone, the lever action on the pedal surpasses any expectation i had for such a low-priced pedal. I would have no qualms paying twice as much for a pedal of this quality.

This pedal simply blew me away. My faith in Digitech is doubled, and i highly recommend this pedal to anyone looking for reliable distortion.

I bought this at a Music-Go-Round (in KY) for about 90 bucks. This was my second distortion pedal.I went expecting to get a Big Muff distortion/sustainer but the salesman covinced me otherwise.

I had a Danelectro Fab Tone first, which was okay, but this is way better. It is a solid little piece of metal with knobs on it. I have banged and jumped on it soooo much, and it barely even has a scratch. I'm also glad the "pots" on it after 4 months are just as smooth and accurate as when I bought it, on my Fab Tone I had to replace 1 pot and re-seal another after only 1 month. It also looks cool on stage. And the bright red light is also helpful in dark situations!

I just don't like the fact that I have been trying to replicate that authentic Korn sound and this didn't really give me all the low-end rattle, crunch and thud. It tottally craps out if the bass is up! But if you just want a good bang for the buck (in distortion) this is the way to go!

Like I said, I weigh quite a bit more than itand I have stomped it, dropped it, even accidentally stepped on it at concerts. It looks like a high-end, studio-quality effect that costed 200 bucks!!!

If you are a new player, or if you want some good distortion (like Metallica, Pantera, Black Label Society, ect.) it is worth every penny!

I believe i paid 80 bucks at sam ash for this pedal. And am slightly disappointed in it.

Well built with a good metal distortion. Compact like every pedal should be and light. Sturdy nobs. Have had this pedal for a few years and not one manufacture problem with it.

OK the pedal gives you a good metal distortion sound, but if your like me and like alot of bass in your distortion then this will pose as a problem. Either its too much bass or too little bass. Ive matched it with a digitech 2120, behringer 21 band EQ, rane parametric eq. And still have the same problem. I shouldve stuck with the boss mt-2. Which im going back to. The morph nob is okay but compared to the mt-2 that lets you mess with the frequency of the mid this nob blows. The boss you can get a nice mid sound and then set the frequency. With the metal master you just get one mid sound which mid can either make or break your sound. So the freceuncy nob makes a big difference. And also the mt-2 has a drive nob incase you dont need full blown volume on the distortion and want some chrous or another effect to flow through the distortion.

Solid as every pedal should be. No problems with construction of this unit.

Its a good pedal and has a good sound. But if your looking to do fear factory, mesghuaga (however you spell it, NIN, Slayer or anything that might have a really really low end sound you should get an boss mt-2 cause that pedal can replicate the metal master plus add to the sound.

I bought this baby at guitar center for 80 bucks. I got it because i wanted a really heavy sounding tone on my guitar.

This thing kicks ass and then some. I have a 15 watt amp, and for 15 watts, it sounds real heavy. When you crank the treble, bass and morph all the way up, you get a real low and crunchy heavy sound. The morph knob is really cool. You can go from punk, to metal and lots of other stuff. When you switch from clean to dirty, there is no noise.

I love it. I might get a boss MT-2 or MD-1. I read the reviews and i guess they are alot heavier sounding. But for now, i am stickin with this pedal.

Built like a little tank. I could throw it off the roof of my house and it would be ok. It will take all the stompin you got in ya.

Its an all around great pedal. I am very happy with it and it was worth the money. If you are into metal or punk (or both) then you should get this pedal. I will destroy the world if you dont.

Bought it on musicians friend for $89.99 (US)

This thing is extremely powerful. It can deliver a huge amount of distortion, even on clean amp settings. The morph knob is great, you can get a large range of metal/punk tones. It is ideal for death metal, good for Metallica-style metal, and fair for Greenday-style punk (if you feel like wasting your time on that). If you are in to palm muting, than this is the pedal for you. It isn't too versatile because it has no gain knob, but it is called a "Metal Master" for good reason. Most of the components of the pedal are made of metal and it appears to be extremely durable.

First of all, this thing eats batteries like a fat kid eats cake. So I recommend buying the adapter. It can also be fairly noisy at higher volumes, especially if the morph knob is in a certain position. Power chords sound great on this thing, but sometimes you have to mute it slightly to keep the sound from mushing together when you are playing individual strings. You have to turn the volume knob on your guitar down a lot to keep from hearing your fingers sliding on the strings etc. This means that when you turn the effects off you can't hear yourself playing until you turn the volume on the guitar back up. It also has incredible sustain capabilities when the volume on the guitar is turned up. This can be extremely annoying, but can sometimes be used to your advantage.
This final problem completely cancels out anything good that can come from this pedal, IT DOESN'T WORK!

The pedal is made up of almost all metal, but by the my second day of owning it, it had ceased to function. I didn't drop it or anything, it just started randomly shutting off and then flickering back on and then shutting off again. I am currently in the process of returning it or exchanging it.

This would have been an awesome pedal if it had worked for more than a day. If you need a heavy metal distortion pedal, than go ahead and take a chance on this one. Make sure you register it because there is a good chance that you will need to return it. Since there is warranty on it, you really aren't risking much. If you are one of the lucky few that get a working pedal, you will be very happy with it.

I bought the pedal off of Music123.com and I paid $94.94..The shipping was $4.95 so the actual cost was $89.95 or so. I got this pedal because I was loving all my new guitars and everything but my old distortion just wasn't cutting it for the music I play. I wanted a total thrash, death, melodic sound and you can achieve all three with this thing.

The main thing I like about this pedal is you can get basically any sound you desire. It has thrash, death, black, melodic, hell...even Nu-Metal if that's what you want. It has such a wide variety of sound that it'll replace all of those multi- fx processors you have laying around.

hmm...My dislikes are...umm...? I'll have to get back to you on that one. I need to find some first...

It's totally reliable. It's around 1.3 Ibs. so you don't want to drop it on your foot or anything, you'd only end up damaging yourself. I haven't had any trouble with wire connections, defective equipment, loud humming, static or feedback... So it's very reliable...

It's great for metal. If you want to play metal, you'll probably already have this or have already ordered it. Get this thing, you won't regret it. I can't wait to gig with this thing!

I bought my pedal at guitar center(gasp). I WAS going there to buy a metal zone but the salesmen worked his stuff and i walked out of there with this pedal. It was the same price as the MZ $89.99 so i thought what the heck ill try something new.

Its awesome for the every day metalhead. It gives you a wide range of metal dis. you can dial in. Its perfect for stuff like Pantera/Metalica and maybe even some punk er i mean pop rock songs(cough Blink 182). If you need a good heavy dis. pic up this pedal.

Well.............hmmmmmmmmmmmm it would be nice if i could get a bluesy sound out of it but thats just me being over critical. There is not much i do not like about this pedal i just need to get myself a TS-9 fill that blues dis. gap.

You could toss this thing down i flight of stairs and it would still work. Like most pedals of its kind its built like a tank and i dont see it breaking any time in the future.

Ok the bottem line is that this thing is good for metal bad for blues(duh). Its made realy realy well and if you are looking for a good metal pedal you cant go wrong.

Clear metal type distortion, better not too nice to want to play (like rock) to be at risk of

4 knobs:
-1 Level -> What The volume lol
-1 Hi -> The rglage treble (nan srieux?)
-1 Bass -> The rglage bass (waaaaaaaaah)
-1 Morph -> then the person I find this very interesting thing, it changes the "face" (or color, I would not know what term to use) the distortion quite significantly, precise (its a knob and not a switch, like on a DS2 for example).

3 taken:
-Input
-Output
-Mix (presumably to go to a table or console)

There's lessentiel, morph button is original and especially it is useful (not like the stuff that some manufacturers rajoutent the pedal to distinguish themselves from the competition, and ultimately useless)

My friend has paid 140 euros I think should be ca 3 years 2 TFW

UTILIZATION

Bon ca is quite simple, I even tend to say more than a simple MT2 equalizeur seen that is smaller, there are sounds interesting pretty quickly.
Otherwise it is classic.

SOUND QUALITY

Well, tests on the clean channel of a Peavey Classic, a high-volume, is a small breath but it's still really lightweight compared to the volume.

Otherwise we can say that this PDAL has a range of sounds INTERESTED forcment not super tight, but the metallic enough to find their happiness without seeking rglage for hours.

Pass the 3 / 4 on the low, it begins to send a lot of really low so ca cest INTERESTED also for those who love

Morph the way to the right, the bass and treble fairly high and the level, by blocking the palm mute the strings run level, and one begins to scratch Pantera

Finally I find it quite versatile and good quality long as one remains in the metal sound

OVERALL OPINION

Well I note a bit harsh, I put not 10 everywhere (really need mimpressionne ca)
but I think we all fawn is his opinion on the comments and not the numbers we put.

It is a good pedal overall, good value qualitprix (y 'value for money), and fairly simple rule that stands out the button and allows dobtenir morph sounds DIFFERENT for distortion.

Well do not buy this if it pedals to play anything but metal obviously

say that I am very satisfied with this little thing

(Ouiiiiiiiiiin it is not me I must make)

A distortion pedals for heavy metal numrique, well hard, but up more sounds "nice" for rock.
Between one and two outputs (one MIX which also play with two amps in Stereo).
Powered by 9V battery or transformer (recommended) is a real bouffeuse batteries in use full rgime!
9 / 10 due to consumer lctrique.

UTILIZATION

Setup could not be more simple, four potentiomtres:
- Level RULES that the output level (volume).
- Low for the low frequencies.
- Hi for high.
- Morph that can change the "color" the sound.
The manual is comprehensive and provides examples of configurations, but there are all fawn quickly the sound you want, as the use is simple.

SOUND QUALITY

Trsralistes effects and gives an easy trs big sound (fairly typical heavy metal).
The Morph knob that really adds pedals, and we feel the Difference just by moving lgremment.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two weeks, I like the stability of the pedals (weight heavy enough).
I have not tried other models in this CATEGORY before you buy and with the exprience, I'll try before.
A little pricey, but worth it.

Distortion pedals metal. In mtal, it is quite versatile (from hard rock to death metal) but do not bother to buy it to play the small rock and grunge. It possde several knobs: volume, bass, treble and morph. There is no knob for rgler distortion because, in principle, it is at maximum. The morph knob can be very useful, it gives a kind of grain to allow the pedals to play hard rock to death metal. She rated $ 130 Can. I put 9 / 10 because the distortion is not adjustable.

UTILIZATION

It is very simple to use (in any case, it is better in this respect that the Boss MT-2). You can look in the manual to try to reproduce the configuration of pedals conccurents, whether the Boss MT-2, the Dod Death Metal or other pedals. The rglage is easy enough for a lightweight up his mtal sound with big bass. Here, I put 10/10 because its use is extremely simple.

SOUND QUALITY

It's a good little pedals, not CHRE. For cons, I'm sure there are better but not in the same price range. It's breath (unless some pedals, but even when it has). I use it on a transistor amp, so I'm sr it is not in top performance. I have used with several guitars (Fender, Ibanez, BC Rich, Stagg) and the sound does not change much, it's good. I tested it with two Fender amps, a transistor and the other lights, it sounds better with it but it is all lamps of the same good with the trs transistors. I find it much more hard than the HM-2 and MT-2 Boss. For mtal is THE pedals in this price range that I recommend. I know it's here that the fate of the pedals themselves shall decide, but I put 9 / 10 because of the breath.

OVERALL OPINION

I used 6 months. I love the morph knob that lets you change the sound. on the other hand, even testing the clean channel of my Fender, it's breath (actually worse on the channel distortion). I tried the Boss MT-2, Digitech Death Metal, the Boss MZ-2, Boss HM-2 and Boss MD-2. Personally, I have the Digitech Metal Master prfr. I think the report is good qualitprix. I paid $ 130 CAN. Good pedals for the metal, is the best! I sold $ 80 CAN and I sold all my other pedals distortion / overdrive to make a Boss OD-20 (more versatile) that I would not have to do ... The Boss OD-20 is much more versatile, but mtal, no doubt the Digitech Metal Master dchire 100 times!

A good distortion pedals like mtal from heavy to death. She is able to imitate several pedals (including Boss MT-2, Digitech Death Metal). 4 knobs: volume, bass, treble and MORPH (see .....). The area is not sold. It is better not to use batteries as it consumes a max.

UTILIZATION

The grip is super fast. But it takes a lot to turn the buttons on the pedals and the amp to find the sound you want. Too bad because there is no gain CONTRL, but MORPH button changes the "face" of the distortion ds one to touch and to explore all the sounds of metal. The manual is nothing ..... Use your brain!

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is good, if you want big sound, it's the right thing. This is idalie PDAL for riffs in palm-mute the low E well dsacord or two strings! It reminds the good death metal. Otherwise it is also a heavier mtal see same no. Check out the site for Digitech Listen to sound clips.

OVERALL OPINION

I have since November 2005. I have opportunity to buy 60. What I like most is his big powerful trs. As against it consumes a lot: Buy a sector or rechargeable batteries. I parked in any case it is better than the MT-2 Boss! If you hsitez, choose Digitech!

- Heavy distortion pedals of analog, custom made for the metal (if not a huge well trs typ metal you need, go your way! ^ ^)

- Casing trs solid metal (you can go freely with your foot! ^ ^)

- Possibility to connect on a table for use studio.

- AC adapter connector (highly recommended!)

UTILIZATION

- The use is very simple, 4 knobs: level (CONTRL for the volume effect), 2-band EQ (low and high) and morph (which allows Sets the type of sound distortion on a wide and without compromise!)

- It will not take long to find one's Huge! The manual will be absolutely no ncessaire, you immediately understand what is going on! ^ ^

No need to barratiner masses on the use of pedals has left a DISTO trs simple to use, more than others (I think including the Boss Metal Zone I had a time before the Digitech)!

SOUND QUALITY

Moving to this small APRS ITS prsentation succinctly the bte!

- Well what to say except that it is simply HUGE! We do not ask him to jazz, big sound while ahead! Warning ears!

- One might think that qualisation two bands would be a bit feeble, well Not at all! if your picky, dig a little amp on the mids ample enough I think! For the bass on the pedals are really great! Push the knob 10 is Low, play in a nice little mid power chord, all in Palm Mute, you will feel your candy to the lambada! Its a huge palm mute, really great! The bass sound so trs groove and send to the potato! Highs, they are screaming and well wishes prcis.

- Move to the Morph knob, which really got my asset to the pedals! We can cover virtually any distortions in the small world of metal, from sound british's premier big fat mesa correct, until his death metal a hyper saturated! Everyone will find his account, and the palette can be used on most of the band, except possibly to be two ends 1 and 10, which will be a little dirty.

- Breath is low trs, even high volume. Comparing the metal zone, the Digitech is a purring cat ^ ^

- I use the pedals with my LTD MH 400, and a body double TUBE WORKS RT2100 MosValve with prampli lamp. Needless to say, a fire-breathing of God, the EMG 81 in the micro chavalet of HD 400 for a sound and prcis overkill! A distortion of the mega huge big fat metal we like it!
If we play a little in the range 1 4 of morph knob and you put the neck pickup (EMG home a 85) it is possible to find some blues sounds of Gary Moore, just to dvier a little, but make no mistake, the field prdilection the pedals is the Metal ^ ^!

So the big sound in perspective trs, prs dcoller tapestry! Superb!

OVERALL OPINION

- I use the pedals recently prs one month, and I am fully satisfied! A used without problem in BPS or concert!

- I note all of the same two tiny default, which are not really actually!

Premire, one might regret the absence of the Gain knob to rgler it. Indeed, the gain is up to the original pedals, and is not contrlable. Anyway, since it's size for the metal, we do not really need ...
Deuximement is a vritable bouffeuse batteries! 3 or 4 hours enough you empty your 9 volts! The acquisition of the AC adapter is recommended!

- The PDAL is a butcher vritable sound for every ear mtallique! A great opportunist of the accder big sound for not so expensive. It's good stuff, solid and reliable! For me, it is far better than the Metal Zone!

Distortion trs bourrine more in the vein that pantera slayer (even if it is available as a) in terms of sound. mule trs output is good to register.

it would be great in a "big sound nomtal with an amp or 15W 30"

UTILIZATION

The sound is pretty hard to find the pots are trs trs effective and should be prcis
when you have the sound goes, is better not to touch the pedals ... sound standards are accessible, no one spends all the death and black. the heavy ncessite too mdiums

I do not like is the V-Scoop is impossible without a user of rglage mdiums and especially the distortion all the time at max ... can not be used to boost the distortion of an amplifier in the sound dig a little (or even in boosting the mdiums).

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is pretty good if you like the sound has no pais (gniale is in drop C). it compensates for the lack of great potato in my squier but do not meet all of the sound of my Ibanez RG ... it works even better with the Squier!

OVERALL OPINION

6 months.
with the exprience I would take a less distortion buggers with a gain knob and mdiums paramtriques but no longer the same price ... like the Rocktron silverdragon but for beginners it can be especially nice secondhand one can have a half price!

edit:
right now I sold it so it goes in from other mtalleux to fill their thirst for big sound ...
