the DS-1 is a very mild distortion pedal, better off as a booster. the Metal Zone is a popular intense distortion pedal.

try a RAT 2 or DS-1 and boost with tubescreamers.
Put an EQ after that to scoop the mids and you can get pretty heavy.

Hey Mjollnir
relax man. Those aren't shit, those are valuable information from helpful ppl.
Don't you get it, this is all subjective. And there isn't any beginner's pedal in the first place, cos they're both different, as explained by the helpful ppl. A beginner can use any pedal, or can do without one.
Go to www.roland.com to read up on each pedal in more details.
Ppl try to be helpful and u think they're shitting on ur face. If you don't understand, trying reading it again. If you still don't, try taking up some english classes. It isn't abt being a noob at all. Can't even tell the difference when you're being helped... or shitted?... Try put some shit on your own face yourself and see if that feels different. I can volunteer to help you. :roll:

OK....info MAN!!!
MT2 - For hardcore, trash, most metal music, you play Metallica, this is the pedal. But very versatile, can of course tone down the distortion and gain but the sound is different from DS1.
DS1 - For rock, punk, modern also can. Except it's original tone is somewhat lacking body, very popular pedal to mod for warmer and fuller tone.
So you playing what, is what you get. DS1 is much cheaper pedal, so you can just get it anyway.

it also depends on your amp. if your amp's job is to accomodate a good, intense distortion type pedal, the DS-1 is going to disappoint you. the metal zone on the other hand would fit this role well. if you think you like the mild distortion of your amp, & it just needs a little beefing up, then the DS-1 would do well to boost it up. 8)

the EQ is a gadget which helps you refine your guitar's tone, the frequency selection helps to boost/ cut certain bandwidth which you prefer/ detest. a useful tool this one...
wah is a tone manipulator, it accentuates between the high/ low freq of your guitar as you manipulate the pedal with your foot.
