A particular high-gain capable pedal.

[subversion]

is there any difference with the one of another colour?

which other pedal would that be?

 

[believe]

look at AMT line of pedals..good for metal. DuHast, Dist Machine, Fatal Tube, California Sound and a lot more to choose for metal. Try all of them. Won't disappoint u.

 

[astaroth]

which other pedal would that be?

This one. its a different colour

Beta Aivin HM-200 Heavy Metal. Natural tone, but still heavy metal all the way. I just love how it squeals with pitch-harmonics, and gives my chugga chugga that much needed heaviness. Its a full analog pedal, it can be modded.

I've tried the tubezone. not enough gain for me.

Krank DM. Bloody Mary. Landmine. yucks. Dist was either too thin or scooped for my liking, or rather nasal. I had a germanium modded metalzone too, din like the picking dynamics on that thing.

It was a close call for me between the AMT and Sansamp GT-2. I eventually chose the AMT Distortion station over it, having a touch more bass and very defined midrange. clarity was what i was looking for and i got it. I wanted the "thuk" in the midrange and somehow the AMT sounded more full, and it was very sensitive to picking dynamics and pickups.....you need a humbucker if you wanna play metal with it.....soloing wise, stack a tubescreamer in front for more saturation and clarity.....

BOSS Metal Zone MT2. Heheheh...

If you have come to know what you want after you little "tour de gain",
i bet you can find the next...

The first approach would be deciding on amp type, coz for a clean amp it's easy to suit a dirt pedal of your fancy. 'Unclean amps spit's out dirt' imo

A versatile widely used dist would be the humble RAT ....

 

[Ized]

i like the rat too, the tonal options with the filter is wayy to limited for metal......use an eq pedal for tweaking! yeap......

get a foxrox Zim with a TAR+ card.

em.... modded mt-2. cheers.

Toneczar Openhaus.

It sounds very huge. It can make a vintage strat go into linkin park wall of gain. It still retains the nuances of your playing. It just makes the neck pickup sound beautifully sweet.

Basically, instead of having 2, 3 pedal stacks to obtain that saturation (which also dampened my playing dynamics), the openhaus just replaced them.

I know it costs a lot. But dude. I'd invite you to try mine. I was convinced when I tried one. Saved me a lot of cash having to jump from pedal to pedal - and I have no gas for any high gain pedal now.

Toneczar Openhaus.

Believe it or not, I preferred the MT2 to your Openhaus...:mrgreen:

 

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

seem like each and every of our definition of hi gain sounds pretty different, hope the thread starter wud be more confused about alternative high gain pedal to replaced TZ and decide to go clean and play with no gain at all

 

[edder]

I rikes the simple and tiny Pocket Metal Muff. Enough CHUGGA CHUGGA DJENG DJENG for me.

To quote unquote a particular member of soft.... "MY PERSONAL RECOMMENDATION....."

If you had an MT2 there.... I don't think so.




Now for my statement of immunity!
IN MY OPINION (Ta Da!!!!) the openhaus is the rockings bestest!!!!!!!!

na na na na - you can't touch meeeeee

 

[Phil]

Thanks for all the recommendations. I'm sorry if I fail to address them all.

The Metal-muff and a modded-MT2 seems pretty appealing. But I'd pass on the Rat and the Openhaus.

I'm don't need a do-it-all gain pedal. I already have the lower range of gain-ness pretty much settled. I need a good all-out gain-spitting metal mayhem of a pedal!

Anyway, thanks for all the recommendations again. Cheers!

hey shred.. if the openhaus has that kind of saturation, is it a noisy pedal?
dont think its available locally right??

well i just got my hands on a fulltone gt500, has great lead tones man! but i think its rather compressed..

Its got noise but in comparison with the amount of gain - its not only expected but pretty low already!

Nope, not available locally.
