Digi-Tech Death Metal

Good metal distortion pedal. Not good for much else :P Hence the name, "Death Metal." Has no gain knob, as it is "all the way up" only, though it has a good EQ, and even a separate amp emulator out for plugging direct into a mixer. Has good saturation, and decent tone.

On the down side, it tends to be noisy at high volumes (line noise/static in between playing), and with some amps gets feedback-happy. With my dad's Peavey amps (a bandit 112 and a 212 EFX), it feeds back like a beast, but with my Marshall/Hartke half stack, it just makes quiet white noise when not playing. A good compressor and a noise gate would fix that in a second.

Oddly enough, my band uses this pedal for a bass guitar... Sounds sick :D Good for metal or punk distorted bass.

At $50 USD, it isn't a bad bargain. If you are a budget metal player, I recommend it!
