Need Opinions on Sound Quality

[bassmutant]

I've heard from friends that the boss mt2 distortion pedals are one of the better pedals around for that crunchy, grinding tone. I'm a bassplayer myself, and try to stick to just using my Mesa M2000's eq and comp for effects. G'luck.

protone's are nice and reasonably priced . . .

Boss Mt2 Metalzone, then a delay (I like Boss DD3 or 5), then a GE7 GraphEQ.

Massive.

I would prefer a sound like arch enemy or dimmu borgir as i love this insaine distortion and i LOVE the bass but i cannot find any of their rigs on the internet.

Can anyone reccomend a better pedal or equalizer setup to get this style of sound?

If you're getting distortion from a pedal, try running into the clean channel of the 900. Otherwise you're going to be conflicting with the incredibly shitty diode clipping distortion that's built in. Or have the amp modded.
