Hey guys long time no see. For those of you that remember me, how've ya been, for those I've never met hello, pleased to meet ya. In anycase, in my few years of playing metal guitar, I've hardly used pedals or any effects whatsoever (kinda odd I know, especially considering the metal guitarist thing) but I went ahead and bought a pretty basic/bare bones digitech death metal pedal. I scooped out the mids and most of the gain on the amp and the pedal itself, which gives me chunky distortion as well as control BUUUUT it picks up every little iddy biddy sound other than what I'm picking regardless of palm muting or how cleanly I pick things....in other words waaaaay too much sustain. I'm wondering if this has to do with the settings on my amp/pedal, is there any mod or booster I can buy to help sculpt this, or would a noise gate be suficient? Thanks for the advice guys
