I think I narrowed it down to these:

1: Digitech Death Metal
2: Boss MT-2 Metal Zone
3: Line 6 Uber Metal

If you read the names of the pedals it's probably pretty obvious that I want a death metal sound! Now I went to the websites of these 3 pedals and heard a sample of what each sounded like... I liked the Digitech the best but it's also the cheapest of the three pedals, so I was wondering if maybe the sound sample may have been a little... misleading. have any of you guys tried these pedals? I'm also open to suggestions if you think you know of a pedal better than any of these.

I'm not into death metal..however I've played the BOSS Metal Zone. I like the fact that you can blend in modulation which I think adds alot to the tone. I'd stay away from Digitech..never had any good experiences with them.

out of those three?I havn't tried the line6 distortion,but would throw any amount of money down,that the Boss mt-2 would give a way better sound.

I actually have a question to whomever can answer...ive ran an mt-2 through a solid state head,but was thinking what running one through the clean channel of a good tube amp would be like...Would the mt-2 completley 'take over' the sound(as it does on a solid-state clean channel) or would the amps tubes shine through at all?...I think that setup(MT-2 and a decent tube amp)would create a ballsy tone.
Try once,fail twice...

hey im glad you asked i ran my **** guitar with a mt-2 metal zone through a cheap tube practise amp and it sounds like huge tone when compared to my $600 212 solid state. because of this ive recantly decided to get a tube preamp to enlighten the tone to be the same as with the tube practise amp. :cool:
