« DOD FX-86B Death Metal Distortion »

I bought this pedal for £50 and as i was looking for a heavy distortion pedal the fact it was called 'DEATH METAL' made me buy it.

I dont like much about this pedal, it looks cool thats about it. Oh and its quite cheap!!

I was expecting a heavy metal sound what i got was a weak cheap metal sound. This pedal is crap for palm muting and playing heavy chords/riffs. Originally i had the BOSS METAL ZONE PEDAL which has its limits but it is still alot better for playing metal than this. Im yet to find a decent heavy distortion pedal but the digitech metal master heavy metal pedal seems to have good reviews.

Its metal and feels solid enough, you wouldnt wanna drop it, but when you stamp on the pedal to go between clean and distortion it feels a bit weak and you have to be accurate when doing so, sometimes, it doesnt activate at all.

Overall this is a misleading pedal beacause of the name and i wouldnt recommend it for metal. Although its cheap dont buy it!!
