I have a mesa original mark 1. The distortion on it baRELY counts even for overdrive. Will I be able to milk pantera, testament,slayer out of this pedal if I put it in front of a clean amp?
I think what you're looking for is the Radial London Bones or the Tonebone Hot British Tube Distortion for that metal sound. I have the Tonebone Plexitube Tube Distortion. If you can spare the extra cash get the Plexitube it's worth it for the extra scooping features. All 3 pedals sound similar and will give you the sound you're looking for if your guitar has relatively hot pickups. The London Bones is solid state and is half the cost of the Plexi but it's kill sounding.
You might also wanna try changing your v1 tube (first preamp tube) because if that one is weak the lead drive is going to be weak. If you want pantera tones get the dime pedal (it emulates his solid state distortion sound) or get a a higher gain pedal than this one demoed.
WTF is "Fullerton?" I clicked into this after searching for "Hollywood Bones." I didn't even know this thing existed.

The color of this thing makes it easy confused with the 'Hollywood Bones". Guess they ran out of colors to paint their pedals?

Since it's named Fullerton is it supposed to be like a Tweed sound?

More general than that, simply Fender tones. Mainly due to the scooped mids and smoother distortion than Brit amps.

The Texas seems more SRV-ish and this more "natural"
