line 6 uber metal and Boss DS1

Line 6 uber metal gives you 3 different kind of models, namely metal, pulverize and insane. metal is sthning similar to your metal zone. pulverize gives you mid rangey distortion ( good for riffing). insane is based on their award winning line 6 insane model. it's total madness.
The main feature of uber metal, in my opinion, is the "scoop" knob. it's a fliter knob which adjusts the mid and low range frequencies. it really works. i like it when i turn it to full. really mind blowing.
it costs $160 after discount. trust me, it well worth every cent :twisted:

bao- you read my review on the Uber Metal?
when you try the pedal out, lower the gain settings to see if it can mimic a mild drive like the DS-1...

tried it recently on friday. the pulverise setting is awesome for getting really thick chug for metal. the metal setting is similar to the pulverise but with the low end taken away. didnt really find the insane setting nice as it was too scooped. one thing which bothered me was the gain knob. at 1-2oclock there was barely any gain then suddenly the distortion would jump out at you real hard at 3oclock onwards. seems there isnt any gain taper on this and due to this i can only get really high gain or barely any gain. dialing anything in between is kinda impossible. but im pretty impressed with the built in noise gate function. but beware u have to get an adapter for tt monster. it consumes batteries really fast. i barely got down to trying it with a new battery when de light started blinking signalling low battery. also its heavy as hell.

I'm a BOSS fan, and I try alot of them out.
Here's my opinion on the DS-1, MT-2 and MD-2
The DS-1 is a classic distortion sound that u'll get. Akin to the old days Led Zep, Pink Floyd, UFO, Queen type of sounds... It's a little on the high side, with slight crunch. When set at mid-levels, sometimes sound like an OD. If u are thinking of this, you might wanna try the DS-2...upgraded. The DS-1 is really really old.
The MT-2 on the other hand is more modern. Nice sound with 4 adjustable eq levels and a overall distortion control knob. The controls mean you can get alot of contemporary sounds from this beast. Pump up the bass, lower the mids, you can pull off a linkin park. Moderate the highs and lows, and push the mids, you can get the 70s brit rock sound. So, over all, very versatile piece of metal.
The MD-2 is on another spectrum. It's no versatile. It's a very specific piece of machinery. It's ONLY for nu-metal or punk metal..or those linking park stuff. Very heavy low end, super chunk sounds. Some people say it sounds like MUD, but u need a good amp to pull this off...and a good guitar. If the DS-1 is a hot rod cadillac, the MT-2 is a modern Ferrari...this on is a 18-wheeler freight truck. All brute power and nothing else.
