My most favorite pedal. Don't use anything other. For a good Bodom tone (mostly what I play) I set mids to "9", scoop at half, treb down a bit, bass at half, and distortion around "7". Amp is leveled out. Kick ass pedal though for being digital \,,/
@j2guitarjon82 it's because he has it in the metal setting with the scoop high as fucking balls. if you stick it in pulverize, crank down the scoop, flatten the mids, and turn up the gain, you got some fucking Lamb of God or CoB shit. hell yeah!
Well I'm that typical 80's old school metal fan. Heavy metal, thrash metal, death metal you name it. I want that TYPICAL 80's early 90's sound and NOTHING else
@Symblotic i'm more into 80's glam metal hard rock sound -so i guess we're talkin about similar kinda tone! pedals i'm talking about may sound like not high gain enough from the begginning but you gotta give em a chance: you kbow the heaviest sound doesn't mean you have to turn gain on full! so for 50 bucks i would recommend boss hm-2 - legendary [pedal used by Entombed! might sound like not high gain enough but actually it has enough gain to make some cool riffage!
@Symblotic 2nd thing is Marshall shredmaster - but it costs a lot. the good thing about HM-2 and Marshall shredmaster is that these pedals act like real analogue mini amps.
You won't believe it but BOSS ds-1 is really good thing gets really heavy on max! and i would definitely recommend marshall jackhammer - and don't listen what people say about these pedals! believe me they are way better than line 6 digital crap.
oh and one more is (more boutique one) sansamp gt-2 -!
@joelrain, When you want to play something heavy and you want a strong sound you can buy a distortion pedal to boost your tone and sound much heavier, normally your better off just using the normal gain channel on an amp but unless your using a decent sized and quality model it can sound a little weak. You also get more control of the levels of your distortion like high gain, low gain, mid and other types. Although it normally depends what type of distortion pedal your looking at to be honest.
Are you setting your mids and scoops right? Different guitars have different sweet spots for that good mid-range scoop. For example: for my stratocaster with a humbucker pickup, I usually have the mids past 12'00 and adjust the scoop accordingly.

Way to much Treble! You need a fuller tone by adding more bass and middle.

I know about the boss HM-2, I'm from Sweden myself so it's kinda typical for me+death metal hahaha.
I'm using a Line 6 Spider IV 75W amp right now but I'm planning (when I get money) to get a Marshall Valvestate 8100.
So good pedals would be niffty!
