Boss MT-2

i really dislike that death metal pedal, i was unable to find a sound with it that I liked.

Abzu · Post by **Abzu** » 24 Sep 2012, 07:54

Lately, I've gone back to just using my amp's overdrive channel with some pretty minimal gain.

Those pedals (the digi DM and the Boss MT-2) only sound decent through a tube amp

jawn galliano · Post by **jawn galliano** » 25 Sep 2012, 04:47

you don't really need a distortion pedal with that amp, the valvetronix on its own can make some pretty decent tones. better than anything you'll get out of a DM pedal or an MT2 or anything, at the very least!

Holocaust · Post by **Holocaust** » 25 Sep 2012, 04:53

Maybe buy a noise suppressor?

after exploring my amp more i know i dont have a reason for a pedal now, i can get all kinds of crazy good tones off this thing. and i can save them on different channels as well

yeah those voxes are surprisingly good for the price. i considered picking one up a few months back for something to jam with in my room, but wound up deciding to save the money instead

neckred · Post by **neckred** » 25 Sep 2012, 08:16

some of those multi-effects Vox amps have great distortion built in

if you decide you want a pedal though, check out the Boss Power Stack, surprisingly very very good for rock or metal

i have no idea what any of this stuff means

shadowalk · Post by **shadowalk** » 27 Sep 2012, 07:04

It won't hurt to find out what this stuff means. You'd probably even enjoy it.

While it's no good if there's a lot of background noise happening, I use gStrings, an Android app.

what could be a good pedal for death and thrash sound with a practice amp ?

Ive tried the death metal pedal its total shit. The MT-2 sounds very dry on practice amps. The digitech metal master sounds good and there are similar pedals there, but i havnt tested the sound by myself. What you guys would suggest ?

Abzu · Post by **Abzu** » 02 Oct 2012, 04:56

What practice amp are you jamming?

Hallucinating dead · Post by **Hallucinating dead** » 02 Oct 2012, 11:33

Roland cube 20xl

M.Bison · Post by **M.Bison** » 03 Oct 2012, 01:49

You won't need a pedal, I've played the roland cube and it's got plenty of gain.

neckred · Post by **neckred** » 03 Oct 2012, 04:03

gain amount has nothing to do with grit quality and usefulness

guitarists even in extreme metal use less gain than you think

Hallucinating dead · Post by **Hallucinating dead** » 03 Oct 2012, 18:29

Gain is not what i need, its something else, i dont know what it is, the the tone is not much aggressive, maybe its more crunch that i need, dont know.

ah, i remember that moment of realizing my guitar didn't sound distorted or heavy enough... fun times.

Hallucinating dead · Post by **Hallucinating dead** » 03 Oct 2012, 23:30

I own a b.c rich jrv standard(rockfield mafia pups)

There is no problem with it. The practice amp is just not powerful enough to deliver death and thrash type tones.

Abzu · Post by **Abzu** » 04 Oct 2012, 01:30

:sigh:

zim · Post by **zim** » 04 Oct 2012, 03:00

well your first problem is your amp

Abzu · Post by **Abzu** » 04 Oct 2012, 04:26

Practice amp is for practice, man. Don't expect to get your dream tone out of it. Just practice your balls off.

Hallucinating dead · Post by **Hallucinating dead** » 04 Oct 2012, 19:37

Well i thought frendroid was asking if there is some problem with my guitar, thats why i told

And he was saying that the amp is good enough, but i am not saying that, thats why i asked at the first place about the distortion pedal.

the best advice I can give any new guitarist would be the wise words I've heard previously

"the really good players, it doesn't matter what gear they use, the really bad players, it doesn't matter what gear they use"

chops are the most important thing by a mile
