metal zone giveaway

[Jon Broderick]

On Tuesday, I am going to select the winner of the Metal Zone contest.

There is one more contest coming up. I can give away something up to $100.

What should it be?

[BadHorsie]

The 286 Sonic Maximizer is now $99 and it sounds great. It doesn't have all the functions of the higher models but it's great for bringing out harmonics and other sounds that usually aren't as bright on the guitar. If you need any more info. on it just email me and I'll find something for you.

BadHorsie, holdin' it down like Gravity!

Kramer Pacers (alder strat-style body, 2 humbuckers, strat style trem, bolt on neck, 3 way selector switch, etc.) are $99 at www.musicyo.com (http://www.musicyo.com) (the pacer is like a high end spec starter guitar, on par with stuff like $300 LTD guitars).

[iamthe_eggman]

how about some of these (or one) EMG-81 pickups that everyone is raving about?

------------------
ok, i'm not really the eggman

[Luke]

How about just letting the prize be the $100.

That way who ever gets it can get what they want for $100.

[BadHorsie]

NO DAMN!T! I said Sonic Maximizer! Sonic Maximizer! Sonic Maximizer! What's the matter with you people? Can't you read? No, really though, if you guys check out the specs on this baby you'll know exactly what I'm talkin' about. Not saying that any of you're guys' ideas are bad, though. It's just that everyone in here, most likely, already has a good guitar and EMGs' aren't the kind of sound that everyone wants, although I like them. But with the Sonic Maximizer it doesn't matter what you play, because it will sound a whole lot nicer with the Maximizer hooked up in your rig.

If one of us hosers in Canada wins eh...can we have whatever the value of $100 U.S. buys up here? Like...could I get the cool prize plus a weeks worth of groceries with the money left over from the exchange rate?

[Willdridge]

And what about us Brits?! (and Europeans)...Nah, make it another prize...The only that springs to my mind is the Zoom707...although I don't know if that's under $100...It's £99, I can't remember if that makes it about $75 of about $125....hmmmmmmm......Never mind, ignore me...so much easier

[trendkillah]

I gotta say that Sonic Maximiser sounds pretty good as a price here.

Giving away a 100$ guitar isnt what people want i think, neither does everyone want those EMG pickups, cause pickups are really a matter of personal preference.

[loner92]

Is the Sonic Maximizer a rackmount preamp? I'm not really sure what the thing is.

[jake sommers]

it's time, it's time, it's metal zone time

Its not a pre amp, thats for sure.
Since i cant explain what it is, check out http://www.bbesound.com/, it only has info on the newer models, but they fo the same.
Look for the 362.

[loner92]

Who is SJ?

[loner92]

If the BE is go enough for Marty Friedman, Dave Mustaine, Bruce Kulick, Steve Vai, and Joe Satriani, it's good enough for me(although I'm still not totally sure what the thing is, I just sort of know what it does).

[SJ]

SJ is me http://www.guitarforums.com/gtubb/biggrin.gif

havent posted much here lately.. been doing other things..

I got the email off Mr Broder this morning.. came here looking to see if it was genuine, it was!! http://www.guitarforums.com/gtubb/smile.gif
my RL address will be in "jbroders" inbox soon..
I'm in the UK so I guess theres some shipping costs involved? oooh and "imort duty" no doubt - still not bad for a freebie http://www.guitarforums.com/gtubb/biggrin.gif

[josh_underwood]

what the hell is a sonic maximizer??? And how do you win?

[Jon Broderick]

click the picture on the forum and learn all. basically, it is a random drawing for forum users. oh, and it makes things sound "brighter" "livelier" something like that...

[josh_underwood]

Thats A Fukin Sucky Prize!!!!!!!

[ekstasis16]

Nothing that shapes your tone is horrible. Your tone is your signature sound, and though this one probably won't do as much as a more expensive sonic maximizer, it's great for beginners.

[BadHorsie]

Well I guess if you win you can just send it to me then, huh? http://www.guitarforums.com/gtubb/smile.gif

I'd just like to say the Metal Zone stompy turned up safe and well at my doorstep this morning.
Big thanks to Jon Broderick http://www.guitarforums.com/gtubb/biggrin.gif

My ears are now bleeding profusely!!
this bugger is sharp enought to take your head head off, if not careful

I tried outt he setting as per the manual -- they sucked as expected - but a little tweaking of the Fuzz setting supplied leaves me with a sound/tone something between Vernon Ried & Adrian Belew

which is way kewl http://www.guitarforums.com/gtubb/biggrin.gif


thanks again

SJ

[ekstasis16]

I have a metal zone too, and while it's great for all sorts of distorted tones, I found it strangled the bass and ambience out of the sound, making it nasal. I'm not really talking about the tone, but just the amount of sound (not volume). It's like the difference between a huge explosion and a pistol shot. I've since switched to the overdrive on my Fender Ultimate Chorus, but sometimes I use the metal zone and the amp overdrive together. Nonetheless, it's a great, versatile pedal.

[Jon Broderick]

Glad you liked it, JS. I thought international shipping was going to be much more difficult than it was.
