Anyone looking for the BOSS MZ (Metal Zone pedal), forget about it! Take a good hard look at the new line of DigiTech pedals. See for yourself. Do you wanna sound like everyone else, or do you want to be different? This pedal blows the doors off the BOSS distortion pedals.
They have better features & better tone too!
All of the new X-Series pedals from DigiTech are worth looking into. I have played them all, and the sound quality is awesome, not to mention, they offer sounds, tone, & features not found in "other" brands. |

Price: $80.00 (new)
Where Obtained: Putnam Music (NY)

Features:
Battery power or Wall adapter (Not included)
Some people mentioned that it needed a "GAIN" knob, but, it's a heavy metal distortion pedal, c'mon people! Get a GRIP! "Gain" on a distortion pedal should be set at "10", anyway! :)
Can be plugged directly into a mixer, and used as a Cabinet-Simulator pedal.
2 Output jacks. (Amp & Mixer)
The "Morph" knob and overall tones make this pedal shine high above all the rest.

Sound Quality:
WOAH! The minute I stepped on this pedal, I knew it was what I had been looking for! DigiTech really outdid themselves with their new X-Series pedals! This sucker can emulate any metal style you crave! Judas Priest, Maiden, In Flames, Ozzy, George Lynch, Zakk Wylde, Jag Panzer, Sinergy, Pantera, Progressive Metal.....etc
Best thing about the distortion in this pedal, is that leads & solos sound excellent! If you have ever played thru other distortion pedals, you'll know what I mean....On other pedals you'll notice that your lead tone could be way better. Many of the "other brand" distortion pedals have good distortion, but when you play leads & solos on them, they sound like absolute crap. (tinny, processed, weak..etc) Other pedals' lead tones are just cheesy sounding, and many other distortion pedals just simply sound alike! NOT THIS ONE! The DigiTech breaks away from the others. Go from rhythm chunk, to "true" lead tones all at once! No need to do anything but play. Simply the best distortion pedal I have ever had the pleasure of getting my hands on. No need to use EQ's & all kinds of other pedals to get this pedal sounding good, it does so all by itself.
Morph knob enables you to dial-in 3-4 different cabinet tones. Goes from a Marshall/British, H&K, to a Mesa Boogie-type sound with just a slightest turn of the Morph knob. Or mix 2 at once! Excellent feature!

Ease of Use:
If you can't figure out a simple distortion pedal, then you probably can't walk & breathe at the same time either.
Extremely easy to install battery. Push a button, and the whole top comes off. |
|
Durability:
Built as sturdy as any BOSS pedal! Sturdy steel construction. |
