MT2 is enough. no need anymore

 

[ikilledkenny!]

yeap.. cause mt2 is a standalone pedal.. its all u will ever need for a metal dist tone, dont need to stack..
and it wont really work that well with modulations cause of its fuzzy tone.. maybe the thing u need next is a pedal tuner?

Sorry to hijack this thread.

What pedal can I use to stack with:

-Ibanez TS-9
-Boss SD-1

 

[superpotato_30]

Lol. hijacker! its ok la.

The DS-1 isn't necessary right? then why put it with the mt2? ?

 

[superpotato_30]

Hey whitestrat. You stack yours with?

Guess you should just mod it instead of stacking it. Send it to Seekz, awesome modding tone. http://www.seekz-stompers.com/services/reanimation_mod.html

What would happen if i mod it and still stack it with a DS1 lol

 

[mus]

sorry la I hijack your thread. =D

Ya, what happens if you mod and still stack it?

So there are not pedals to stack with TS-9 or SD-1?

MT2 doesn't cut well in live band settings that why an EQ or an overdrive in front of it is needed.

MT2 = Can of Bees BUT with EQ ---> WIN

What exactly are you trying to achieve with your sound? Gain or Volume boost? You have like at least 500 ++ OD/ Distortion pedals to stack with your Ts9 / SD-1. If I were you I would set it as a gain boost.... medium gain Distortion then stomp the TS9/ SD-1 when I need to be heard when playing solos

Something like this -->

Guitar --> Crunchbox / OD3 (insert your preferred pedal here) --> TS9 --> Amp = TONE

Hey whitestrat. You stack yours with?

I stack it with a Tubezone Overdrive that I use as a contour/boost pedal. The MT2 is meant to be a chugga chugga pedal ONLY for rhythm... The TZOD comes in as a solo boost.

P.S. My MT2 is only at half gain or less...

When i had Metal Zone, i used it with Boss GE7 Graphic EQ at the back.
I'll set the MT2 to the tone i liked best and used the GE7 to boost the mids/highs just a little bit for "solos/noises".
The level of the GE7 still set at 0.

I tried putting the GE7 at the front, but it "don't sound as good".
Before i had the GE7, i used a Korg Parametric EQ stompbox the same way too. :mrgreen:

Kernelspy: You're right! I didn't mention what I wanted to get from the pedal. PAISEH!. But what you said is what I wanted (gain boost) for solos.

If I put the TS-9 first instead of the distortion will it make a diff?.
Guitar -> TS-9 -> Crunchbox/DS-1 -> Amp

Which one is worth getting? TS-9 or SD-1?.

There are other methods to do this without another pedal involved!

 

[superpotato_30]

gsonique care to share ?

 

[gsonique]

Sure...what i do is ... first>>get the "solo" tweaked, where the volume knob on my guitar is at 10(max), pedal and amp gain/volume to desired level.
Now roll down to 9~7 on your guitar ....you get rhythm gain/volume.

This method gives better control and reduces pedal "tap dancing" & noise you get from cascading.

When you cascade, pedals are in "half ass" mode with their gain and volume lowered and may sound impressive but lack lots more in character and feel....all that mush!!

Do i make sense ?

 

[thor666]

YES.

Stacking is overrated. Guitar volume knob FTW!
