"100% pure DEATH \m/"
Sound:
don't be put off by the fact that it doesn't have a GAIN control - if you're even considering buying this, you'd have the gain dimed anyways! LOL I LOVE my Death Metal pedal - I traded in a BOSS DS-1 and a Digitech Grunge pedal on this at my local Guitar Center. If you're into heavy, HEAVY metal tone, buy this NOW. The 3-band EQ is EXTREMELY responsive, more than I expected. You can really get lots of differnt tones with the EQ, no problem.
Feature:
level, low, mid, high... all you need really. The EQ is VERY responsive in shaping the tone, giving you a wide range of possible sounds. It COULD come with a gain control, but WHY? It also has 2 outputs, one for your amp, one for ditrect recording, which really does give a good tone. You can plug in your guitar, then run a line from the 2nd output right into your computer's soundcard "line in" and it records beautifully!
Ease of Use:
very easy to use
Quality:
like the saying goes, "built like a tank" and it is! The pots are nice and snug, staying put where you need them. The switching is completely silent, and Digitech gives a SIX year warranty if you register on their website.
Manufacturer Support:
never needed them for ANY Digitech product I've used. PLUS, they have a 6 year warranty, just in case.
Value:
it's half the price of the BOSS Metal Zone, which is an awesome pedal, but again - twice the price of the Death Metal...
The Wow Factor:
if you wanna nail that BRUTAL Death Metal tone, this is THE pedal. As with any effects pedal, if you use a crappy guitar and a crappy amp, you're gonna sound like crap. Use a decent set-up and the rest is in your fingers.
Overall:
I don't plan on trading or selling this pedal. I'm sure I'll buy others, but this one isn't going anywhere!
