How Do I?

hey anybody , i play the guitar (hardcore metal) and i have a band but how can i give the hardcore metal sound on the guitar or what pedal effect should i use?

I recomend that you buy the Digitech RP80. It has 40 preset and 40 user made efects. It simulates other amp models. And you can get just about any sound out of it with careful programing and it has a very easy to understand manual. It only costs around $70 so not to break the bank. It also has built in effects and tunner and drum machine to practice with. Unlimited things it can do.
If you want something a bit better then look into the Digitech GNX series.
Hope That Helps

a nice metal stomp box should work

Hey there,

If you use Hardcore Power chords with a Metal Pedal, You can easily make awsome songs and usually bands use more than one to make different sounds. For example 2 metal and a wah wah=SLAYER in the Bloodline solo. Just keep that in mind, more than one.

Check out the Boss OD-20. Great distortion and very versatile.

Line 6 ToneCore Uber Metal Distortion pedal gets the job done!

distortion pedals is what you want. you could also get compression, flanger, eq, or noise reduction, but they aren't as important.

You want a distortion pedal or a amp with a nice overdrive channel then crank the gain....

The line 6 Uber Metal pedal is supposed to be very good...I use an Ibanez Turbo Tube Screamer and I get plenty of dirt when I kick it in. I am currently looking at the VOX COOLTRON BULLDOG DISTORTION PEDAL AND THE RADIAL TONEBONE CLASSIC TRIMODE PEDAL but those are pretty expensive as pedals go. You'll want some kind of noise gate though (MXR Smart gate or Boss Noise reduction pedal)....There are alot of distortion pedals out there - no shortage of choices; you just have to pick what fits your needs and your budget b/c some are very pricey, but pricey does not always mean super thick distortion so do your homework.....

If you can afford it, a couple of top of the line Marshall and MesaBoogie amp heads, Fender guitars and rack mount system... Furhman power conditioner, preamp, EQ, Eventide midi harmonizer, Rocktron switching system....

ok i play hardcore for a band called a letter of distress look use up on myspace, but anyways i play a vamp2 it works awsome if u want a mesa sound but cant aford one i cant and the line6 podxt have the same features but $200.00 more then vamp2 your can change cabs heads and all and get your sound but 100.00 cant beat that and well as i lay dying, or it dies today play a mesa and a pevy but vamp2 has those heads :cool:

and if u put squells in your music use the mesa youll geta metal but a hardcore metal not just crunch i try to stay away from power cords inless a course but thats me i also recomend a fernandes guitar they got a sustaner built in its awsome

get some humbucker pickups in ya guitar n a distortion pedal

I have a Rocktron Zombie, it has more distortion than I will ever need and it has a setting on it that is almost like a bias control that lets you pick solid state or rectified type distortion. 59.99 Musicians Friend, great pedal
