MGR/Anonymous « DOD Deathmetal Distortion »
Published on 08/09/10 at 15:00This pedal is uniquely painted in mostly black with blood spattered graphics on the sides. I play metal all the way but not necessarily Death Metal. However that doesn't mean this pedal isn't right for me. I've played on and off for about eighteen years but am now back in the groove of things and full out into band mode.
I actually acquired this pedal for free (no joke). My buddy gave it to me along with another when I started playing again this last time, they were no longer of use to him.
What I love about this pedal is its clearly designed to fill your sound with just pure dirty distortion. Its disgustingly rich with gain and has just the right amount of EQ's to mess around with. I hear some players complain that its too cheap sounding, which may be the case for certain types of playing style, however if you've played as long as I have you know that one pedal is never gonna fulfill all of your playing needs unless you buy something like the Digitech RP1000 or something similar, I don't rely on one single pedal I like to collect a variety. If its a case of needing to be louder during solo's than I suggest placing a Crybaby Wah behind it in your effects loop.
There isn't much I dislike about this pedal unless as I said your looking for a louder, cleaner sound, than play around with others. But if you want a ridiculous amount of distortion than this is the one for you.
Its built to last, it gets kicked around so much around here if it were built cheap I would've noticed by now.
In closing, I'd have to say if your starting out and don't want to break the bank but need something to play metal riffs; you'd be wrong to not even at least try one of these out. I have plenty of other much more expensive gear to play around with but I always end up playing a few songs through the DOD Death Metal Pedal....why?....Cause its fun Dammit!
