All user reviews for the Rocktron Metal Planet Distortion

it is a distortion pedal, it does nothing else! this is the analog I think, with one input and one output jack (super basic)

UTILIZATION

where it thickens a bit! good to begin with, there is a level adjustment, distortion (gain) so far so good! now turn to equalize .... 4 bands! it takes time to adjust but once you understand how it works, it works bah! then the settings are High, low, mid and mid freq, and it is very easy to get different type of sound, saturated exclusively.

SOUND QUALITY

This is a very powerful distortion, no complaints about that.
I play it with Seymour Duncan active, it takes a very, very big sound!

OVERALL OPINION

it's been 3 years since I use it, no complaints!
I love his power, just under his stripper side acute.
it is a robust pedal, good price / quality ratio
I do not think changing any time soon but I do not know if I would reiterate.

I play everything, man. Metal, Blues, Classic-Rock, Modern-Rock, pretty much everything.

I don't really have a band, but I like jaming with my friends just about every weekend and it would be cool if we got a recording unit... but we don't

I bought this pedal from Musicians-Friend,
and I paid $70 plus tax and shipping charges.

I like the 4 band EQ a lot. You can use it for any kinda style that calls for distortion. The bright blue LED looks cool. Pro quality distortion. And built liek a tank, man.

It's KINDA bulky. And theres no included AC adaptor, but it comes with a 9 VOLT battery so I geuss its ok.

Built like a tank, man! And not a crappy Korean one! HAHA!


If you like pro distortion that can get from bluesy sounds to insanely distorted death metal and everything in between, than this thing is for you!

Pedal complte trs, trs versatile distortion trs a pallet wide, effective: a knob for gain, for an acute one for the serious one for trebble and one for the pr presence, the Basik what! 9v battery power or adaptateur.boiti metal indstructible! and small blue LED to indicate when it is running very practical in concert!

UTILIZATION

Even if to find the sound you want it you must to spend some time its use is intuitive, simple knob trs argl

SOUND QUALITY

The most importantly, I was playing forward on metal master and all that I saw the difference, we make the metalica, the deftones, the slayer, the ac / dc slipknot or nickel is if we understood the fawn of rglpar against a hard shot low volume of sound that big a 15wat dchire therefore the room is not the foot but in concert ad Chire! However if you want a little crunch of his pass your way, but hey if this is called: Metal pedals planet is not for nothing good on the other hand I wonder if the button is used to gain some personal thing because I always put a background, I use it on peavey bandit 112 prs with the pedals Tremona SE and brought a lot to my sound.

OVERALL OPINION

I have a year and if I had to ratchet pedals I would take a 100 hundred times that the ci.pour mtal c'tai really what I needed for some time even though I realize that she allowed me to approach some of what I like but it's not big parfait.en ComenC to you if you tired of your rotten amp distortion pedals that can be a good choice but it will not turn your amp squier in mesa boogie, so if you want a little more to add to your sound is saturated THE PDAL for you but if you're looking for rvolution obtez sound rather a multi purpose amp simulator or better a new amp!

Distortion pedal.
Heavy distortion but still rock'n'roll in spirit.
Versatility (I'll explain ...)

UTILIZATION

A knob for volume
A double knob for treble and bass
A double knob for medium and EQ which allows you to vary the colors of the distortion
A knob for the level of distortion
It may sound complicated, but you get very quickly!

SOUND QUALITY

Do not rely necessarily on its name lil metal planet! Yes, it is typed big sound, but if you push a lil bit of distortion (8:00 for example) it's still very rock. The variety of sounds offered no EQ is quite impressive! The distortion on top of that is relatively warm (nothing to do with MT2). In short it is very versatile, almost as much as DS1, but warmer (this is only my opinion ...). The distortion is well on fat easily if you push the knob a little, do not worry. For distortion, its versatility is quite impressive.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought just one week ago and I use it regularly. I was looking for a fairly versatile chaude.Je distortion is not metal, a little hard to the limit and it suits me perfectly. I use it with vintage stuff: an old twin reverb, a 1981 Ibanez artist and strato american vintage 1962. I use it to supplement my tube screamer, for solos sharper but trying to keep a certain subtlety ... In short his part rock'n'roll surprised me and seduced me. For rock, punk or metal, it really does. A try at least!

- What are the effects or types of effects available?
Large distortion.
- What technology is used? (Analog, digital, tube ...)
Digital. (It eats batteries too: BUY A TRANSFORMER!)
- Are they edited? Via an editor Mac / PC?
No.
- What is the connection? (Audio / MIDI)
ESG?
- Is this a rack or rack-mount model?
No.

UTILIZATION

- The general configuration is it simple?

Volume, bass, treble, distortion level, what the classic, so on this point here is simple but what makes the depth of this pedal are the mediums: a knob to indicate how often you want to change, and another to boost or decrease, this may sound simple but it's quite complicated to use but with that we will succeed in finding its sound.

- Publishing of sound effects or is it easy?

The sounds can be found can often come by chance (see above), so when we found it better not to touch the buttons without having noticed.

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

There is not much, he explains how the knobs and how to install, but there is no model adjustments.

SOUND QUALITY

- Effects are they effective, responsive and realistic enough?

While there, the interesting game. This pedal, if it is not good use of it, may seem only useful for base metal (and there is no exception), but if you spend some time dealing with this marvel, we realizes that one can have sounds for AC / DC and crunchy that will ring just as well. For metal, as I said above, this is THE pedal perfect: one can have any sound imaginable metal (I will not go into details), and each time, if we do not grow the knobs too, the notes are completely distinct (it c'ecrit like that? O_o) and the sound is clear. On the other hand we want the sound incomprehensible just push the bass and it is because of this that the scratch does not know to use it think it sounds rotten. It's all in the setting. : P

- Which instruments do you use?

BCRich Bronze Warlock Tête Widow on Marhsall MG30DFX

- Which ones you prefer, you hate?

Well me personally I play System Of A Down and Rage Against The Machine and mostly I get to have good sounds, so these are my favorite, but sometimes I play Metallica and as I said it sounds still good (I need to stop talking about the versatility of this pedal, I know). For sounds that I hate, it's easy to find enough to do anything with knobs, May most of this sounds perfectly suited me.

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?

2 months I think.

- What is so special that you like most and least?

+: Versatility (and yes again: p).
-: Consumes batteries too fast.

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?

Not really, I tried the Jackhammer a friend and distortion of my amp: p. But I can tell you that the samples of the Metal Zone are nothing compared to what this pedal is capable

- How would you rate the quality / price?

Excellent, € 79 on Thomann, what more?

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...

Yes, but with the money, not as a Triple Rectifier is always better for metal: p

Heavy metal distortion analog.
Nan editable, it's analog!
In pedal only.
It's good to scrap metal box, just think back a faudrat pick up the skates!
Otherwise, the main switch is not work all the shots, I sometimes need to press 3 once to engage the disto ..
No transformer supplied inpensable play on battery!
Above all, there is a huge hum! His disagreement when we play, but it's very annoying when you stop!

I put 6 to ca ...

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration:
Subwoofer
Acute-
-Medium
-Volume
Disto-level
-Button which changes the color of his (which probably more effect than any other buttons together)
From the moment we find the color of its button, it puts all the other flat and go! But it is unfortunate that the other buttons do very little module that sound ...
The manual is ridiculously small, a piece of paper that has no type of adjustable ...

SOUND QUALITY

Its levels, his mule! We go to the thrashy sound to the Crowbar sludgent fat by turning a button! It's pedal extreme metal, not very interresting to shape the sound of the guitar solo has a slight Maiden.
I use a Jackson JS 30 RR and a Fender Performer, and I out of the big sound!
Most I'm on a sound Sludge / Hardcore Generation in serious but not too runny, it's a pleasure! It is a distortion of the few that does not destroy the ears at high volume!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 months.
I like the scalability of the sound, you can really passed through all forms of music Extreme.Par cons, is this hum is annoying!
I try the Digitech Metal Master (it sounded too intrusive for my taste), the Rocktron Zombie (a species of the Fuzzy Extreme inaudible ...) and a Digitech Ultra Distortion (inaudible also the distortion when pushed. ..).
A pedal is € 100, as it is in most competitor, so no scam!
I would do this choice.

Analog distortion pedal versatile and robust
input and output jack
outlet or 9V battery (very tasty)
a LED Activation
a push button
look cool

UTILIZATION

knob a volume, one for low frequencies, two for midrange, one for treble and one for the rates dsitorsion.
the manual is sketchy (what normal!) must fumble for the sounds that fit!
Editing sounds is not obvious at first because you have to try different settings to be satisfied: we must tame the double knob mediums that colors the more sound and provides a wide range of loadings (from big rock to metal), it even has a little fuzz side (I think we can get closer to the sounds bigmuff)

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is relatively warm, dense, tight, clean and sends it to my grave tube marshall combo! However, the sound is still plastic ...
is a versatile pedal with little background noise when the branch with a good adapter. settings at the pots are accurate and effective.
in concert, a large volume, it provides ... Harmonics come easily!
I was looking for a good distortion to play the big rock, it fulfills its function!
on the other hand, no true bypass, or boost which is annoying to switch to a solo!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for several months before I tried the 2 mt is downright cold side! what I like is its dynamic (large potato); least, can sometimes be a little plastic (no lamp?). anyway the price / quality ratio is excellent! in retrospect, and with the same budjet, I think I would hesitate with the metal muff!

Analog distortion pedal
jack connectors, classic
or a 9v battery (optional adapter)
robust, with a nice blue led

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration, like "Boss MT2"
easy to find the sound you want
manual in English, very little use

SOUND QUALITY

Sound: metal should not expect a blues sound (whatever ...)
coupled with a tube amp, the sound comes into its own, heat lamps rajoutent missing, it must be said, this pedal.
the sound is clear and not runny, it says connected to a transistor amp does not enjoy the quality of this pedal.
then why would I give a small 7

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 7 months, what I like is the ease of use of this pedal as well as sound, which turns the rock sound of my amp rocker in métalleuuuxxx amp.
I tried it at the same time as the metal muff, and indeed, the metal muff reminiscent of the old Rocktron distos while the approximate sounds more modern.
you can listen to samples on the site Rocktron, but rendering is not the same in a tube amp

4 EQ pedal: level, low, high, middle, and freq distortion. The Freq is a filter that can dig the mediums. The knob are super efficient (do not turn to the bottom to hear a difference, just a millimeter).
The pedal is super light, despite a quite large. Of course one IN and one OUT and one AC power socket on the right side of the battery pédale.Si you prefer, there are a trap pedal (so no need to get out the screwdriver). This pedal is very are completed by the above EQ Freq very, very effective and can adapt to any amp (I use this pedal on a Fender Frontman 212R and freq me instead, gives you the rate of catch shiny fender) and cherry on the cake: a beautiful blue LED highly visible.

UTILIZATION

This pedal is fairly easy to use. I say fairly because you have enough play especially knob Low, middle and Freq to find his sound, but this is the case only a few minutes for someone who knows how to use an EQ. But as I said previously it will fit perfectly amp types. Access to the battery is also simple so this pedal should not be a problem on that side.

SOUND QUALITY

The is another story but what is extraordinary is that this pedal does not release any breath. If you use a guitar with double micro (such as TV with my signature John 5) this pedal you out of the big large metal (death, black or grind) with a very typical Slayer. The sound is to be as sharp as a razor and very cold, the sound of pantera or slayer, in this case forget the maiden or metallica (a hand if you're a fan of the album ... And Justice For All) personally I m ' not like any of this sound too aggressive, he became very rough inaudible even try all possible settings. This is my personal opinion but a fan of extreme metal or the MXR dime 11 will enjoy.
For use with against a single coil pickup, this pedal is wonderful (I use it with a TV and a Joe Strummer signature Stratocaster mex standard). This pedal is much more versatile to make hard (Black Sabbath) of heavy ( metallica, iron maiden) and even every other style of metal. I even used to play rock to the foo fighters and smashing Pumpking. The sound will appear much more accurate and clean with a warm side.
I put 9 of leaving one side slightly synthetic shame, but I will not be penalized for a personal opinion of taste.

OVERALL OPINION

I recommend this addition to using a single coil guitar equip even if ar is paradoxical for the metal must be double. but it will delight all the metalhead fan of Black Sabbath was one of mayhem. I definitely recommend this pedal. J'aiu all try boss MT-2, ml-2, Digitech metal master, Rocktron Zombie .... and I find my happiness with the metal planet (77 euros on thomann). Excellent value for money. The only pedal that rivals EHX metal muff is to be a bit vintage but I would do will this choice.
