Hi guys! I'm searching for a distortion pedal to play american punk rock (nofx,offspring,lagwagon) and found no pedal yet; could this be a good one? did you try to get that sound? or something else is better?
@TheRealSwrobmeloz This pedal is one of the most versatile pedals out there, I say go to the Guit Center and try one out if you can.. it's a great pedal!
I am not the biggest fun of distortion pedals but this one can make me believe that there are some good ones if you search for it. Zvex has some good pedals but i personally haven't heard any better pedal than this. It doesn't sound like a pedal actually.. It's weird
It works great with all pedals that I've come across.. anything pre distortion works grea (i.e. comp, wah, envelope filter)t., and it sounds fantastic w/ all post distortion effects as well (i.e. modulation, delay, etc..)
I have owned a metal zone, there is absolutely no comparison.. If you want an EXTREMELY versatile pedal, then go for the DistX.. The metal zone, in my opinion is more of a one trick pony, it does an ok job of metal, but a little too fizzy and one dimensional.. This pedal however cleans up, and does a very decent job of replicating JTM45 tones at the lowest gain setting... I generally keep the gain at about 12 o'clock, and there is plenty of headroom.. good luck on your decision.
True, not as massive, however I was just using the cam mic... The sound however is simply fantastic... I can't say enough good things about this pedal.
I agree with marshall199! I bought this pedal recently and its absurd the amazing tone this has and the versatility it offers. Obviously its a one channel -serves as a preamp- thing but MAN! You can get many tones out of it, especially if you put an eq after it to color the sound a bit.

@topografer - I completely agree it doesn't sound like a normal pedal... It does respond like an amp would..

@topografer You should check out the DIY pedals along with the wamplers. They dont sound like pedals either and more like amps that they model

Now this is how a pedal should sound with lots of mids! It's too bad I cant find somethin like this used in Canada or atleast brand new :(

I guess it sounds pretty good with a valve jr. But not as massive as other vids i've heard.
