I just bought a blue box.... couldnt resist.

My next pedal is officially a pulsar. Going to get it for my bday. It's what I asked for. :D

Then I'm going to learn how to play tremelo by Mission of Burma and play it again and again and again.

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a metal/distortion pedal that has a good "brutal" and "jun jun jun" sound. I don't know a whole lot about all the different pedals out there, so I was hoping that y'all might have better first hand knowledge about what is out there and that you could point me in the right direction.

So far I was thinking of:

Digitech Death Metal Distortion (has a good sound from the samples)
DOD Death Metal FX86
Boss Metal Zone
Line 6 ToneCore Uber Metal (seems like it does a lot, but is it any good?)


Again, I don't know much about these so if you have any suggestions about any of the above pedals or ones I didn't mention, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

^ nice.

I need a goddamn looper of anything fun for noise, electro, shoegaze... any advice?

CHOUT 12.03.2007 03:06 PM

I used to have the boss PS3, never tried the PS2. It was pretty fun and had a lot of features.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 12.03.2007 03:31 PM

I asked for a trem for my birthday from my sister but instead got a hamster and a habitrail. He's a pretty cool hamster.

I've got a Stereo Pulsar in my amazon cart with all my xmas shopping as well, but I gotta wait a week or so for some more money to come in to hit the buy button.

i've also been looking for a looper.

from all the ones i've looked at, this would be my personal choice.

digitech pds-8000

I think I'm gonna order a effect pedal (first one) for christmas. I'm looking for some spacey/delay effects.
Any recommendations?

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 12.03.2007 05:46 PM

There really isn't a pedal looper that is quite the whole package yet. All of them have their drawbacks.

Mostly in that you can't manipulate them as well with your feet.

mostly the type of transistors used, either germanium or silicone?, op-amp or IC (Integrated cicuit design), and true by-pass switching are the major difference between the early versions of the bigmuff and today's reissues...
