Good distortion pedal

I have a boss metal zone but im not happy with it. It sounds like bees pissed off. I want something fuller, louder and edgier. I like feedback, too. any recommendations?

The danelectro distortion it´s pretty dirty......

Adio

I was in the exact same dilemma as you. I had a Boss DS-1, which was too thin for my needs.
Sounds like you need a Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi.
I got the (cheaper) Russian-built one, and I love it.
Drawback: it kinda thins up your clean sound. One could adjust the EQ on the amp, like I did, but it didn't fix the problem entirely.

It also depends on what kind of amp you've got. I've found it sounds a bit more edgy through a solid-state amp.

Doin't buy any pedals with "Metal" in their name, because they will always suck. "Metal Zone", "Metal Master", "Death Metal", all crap.

I've found that statement to be more often than not true.

And I thought the DS-1 was tinny...

You have to turn the tone way down.

I can agree with that. I think im gonna go for the electro harmonix pedal, i've seen a lot of artists use it. im just not sure whether to get the american or russian, cause i heard one of them kills the original signal of your guitar. I think it may be the russian, like Shane said.

Sadly, it's true. Maybe I should shell out an extra $30 and get the American one someday.

I personally don't like Danelectro. They're very, very fuzzy and sound like something a grunge band would use more than anyone of the Pink Floyd taste.

Dave uses the Danelectro Big Muff, according to Gilmourish.com...

Personally, I've got a Marshall JH-1 Jackhammer, and I am very satisfied with it. I can get quite heavy disortion and nice, soft blues overdrive with it...

Hm, cool, thanks for the info. I guess Danelectros do work for Pink Floyd taste, as Dave uses it himself I guess I just have the wrong ones. (one of which has "metal" in it, that might explain it)

I'll have to make note to get the big muff. I just find it kind of odd that Dave would use a peddle I can get for 40 bucks at a flea market.

Yeah i can see that. I see a lot of garage bands using Big Fuzz, like Mudhoney and the White Stripes.

I also have a Marshall. It's the GV-2 Guv'nor. It's got the warmest, sweetest blues/rock tone. I mix it with some compression and I get an INCREDIBLE blues tone. I set my USA Strat to the neck pickup, set the gain to about half, and I fall in love.

Still wanting a big muff pi!

I've heard some good stuff about the Ibanez Tubescreamer, but have never used it.

Electro-Harmonix makes the Big Muff Pi, not Danelectro.

I've got a Dano overdrive, it's pretty good for a bluesy/rock overdrive. One can get a decent White Stripes sound out of it.
