  • Metal guitar is weird, you boost the mids with a tube screamer and then you cut them with the EQ pedal/amp.

  • I found a pedal I really like, it's from PRS. Called Mary Cries. I use it as a second compressor, right after my Skreddy P19. Love the sound of it. It is not only a compressor.

  • Hey what about the Boss Metal Core it is worth hearing it sounds really good in tone compared to boss metal zone i think.

  • I’ve owned or still own all of these pedals or variations of these pedals. I gotta say this is a good selection to get you almost anywhere within metal.

    The mxr 5150 lead me to the purchase of my evh 5150iiis el34 100 watt head.

    I had the 10 band version of that eq. Which it was solid but I have since moved on to a boss eq200. But there’s nothing wrong with the mxr

    The boss mt2 does MUCH better in the fx loop as a preamp pedal rather than into the preamp section of your amp. And it is rock solid if used properly.

    The tube screamer really needs no discription whatsoever.

    I have the pitchfork+ and replaced my whammy dt. It does all the cool stuff. It takes an exp pedal. It takes a 3 button control pedal. It has in and out options the whammy does not. And it’s only 9v. It’s such a badass whammy alternative.

    I’ve never used that gate before but I can’t imagine it’s bad. I use the tc electronics sentry and it’s stellar.

    If you’ve read this far, you’re probably a total nerd just like me and you friggin rock!!!

  • Thanks for the knowledge! Just ordered this gear.

    I just got a Orange Super Crush 100 amp head with a Orange pro 4×12 240 cab with my Charvel HSS hardtail. ❤

  • So.. the.. shit I need to buy a book or something… the bypass mode with the preamp thing that goes through the something something and does a thingamajig… can anyone recommend a book of some kind that could explain guitar amp configs?

  • I just discovered the tired and cliched "my brother from another mother" in Dagan and he kicks major ass. First guy on YT that is a straight up metal head that I've seen. He plays what I want to hear and is literally chock full of the best info guys like me/us need. Dude is an old skool metaller man – pedal point, muted metal. What a pleasure after listening to a bunch of guys wank to Sir Edward riffs or those annoying, loud open death metal chords that I guess are supposed to be out of tune? 2 things really piss me off: bad camera men in porn and demo guitar guys wanking with leads instead of fucking power chords and galloping riffs.

  • So only have one amp, when he says distortion in pre-amp….is he saying that run distortion through the send/return effects loop?
