Extreme Metal : Extreme Metal - My favorite distortion pedal!

11 years ago

I bought this pedal because I was looking for a distortion pedal that gives me a modern and powerful distortion tone and doesn't cost too much. This pedal was perfect!

The tones that this distortion pedal can produce are just incredible. It took me about 5 minutes to find a tone that I loved and I've been using that same tone since.

But thats just my preference, this pedal can do much more than that.

This pedal can produce almost any tone, bright and crunchy for rock or dark and powerful for heavy metal...

The Boost switch is a frequency boost NOT A VOLUME BOOST!

It controls the frequency from 3.5kHz to 4.3kHz (according to the manual)

I use the Boost to get a more digital sounding tone because thats the only thing I found it useful for.

This pedal is made of metal so it should be able to survive almost anything.

Theres a nice little door-like thingy (I have no idea what it's actually called) for the battery so you dont need to have a screwdriver to change the battery. Or you can just use a 9v power supply.

Overall I think this pedal is good for producing almost any type of tone. The only bad thing I can say about it is that I would be nice if the Boost swich was a volume boost instead of a frequency boost.
