Metal Guitar Effects Combo<\/p><\/div>\n

The MT-2<\/a> is great for metal guitarists because it\u2019s as diverse as the genre. The level of EQ adjustment allows the player to dial in a huge variety of tones with outrageous levels of distortion. Octave and harmonist effects are common tools for fattening up those big riffs or adding a huge three-voice harmony to a solo. The S-Bend mode arms you with the ability to “bend” the tone from -3 octaves to +4 octaves for extreme divebomb\/whammy action – add an expression pedal for complete control over your pitch mangling. A flanger adds that cold swirling sound similar to a phaser with a swept comb filter effect often administered by metal players. The FB-2<\/a> will ensure you have epic feedback ready at any time or any volume and the equalizer and volume pedal are a good idea because when you\u2019re playing at 11 you need to be in control at all times!<\/p>\n

Need to Know…<\/em><\/h2>\n

Noise can be a problem, particularly with high-gain distortion sounds. Pedals that can add volume — such as compressors, wahs, EQs, overdrive and distortions — will also amplify any noise created by the effects placed before them.<\/p>\n

Metal Guitar Effects Pedals: GE-7, DD-7, MT-2, FB-2, BF-3, PS-6, and OC-3<\/p><\/div>\n

The Sound of Each Pedal…<\/em><\/h2>\n

PW-10 V-Wah<\/strong><\/a> pedals alter the tone of the signal by sweeping the peak response up and down the frequency range to create the “wah effect.”<\/p>\n

GE-7 Equalizer<\/strong><\/a> offers seven bands of EQ ranging from 100Hz to 6.4Hz. This lets you completely control your sound and eliminate unwanted feedback, particularly when connected after a distortion effect.<\/p>\n

DD-7 Digital Delay<\/strong><\/a> provides modulation delay mode, classic modeled Analog Delay mode, external pedal control options, and more.<\/p>\n

MT-2 Metal Zone<\/strong><\/a> creates insane over-the-top distortion – with huge mids and lows and an ultra-saturated sound.<\/p>\n

FB-2 Feebacker\/Booster<\/strong><\/a> enhances the\u00a0mids\u00a0for high-gain solos, or the treble to lighten the tone. This pedal can also generate a natural amp feedback.<\/p>\n

BF-3 Flanger<\/strong><\/a> provides a thick stereo flanging sound for guitar or bass.<\/p>\n

PS-6 Harmonist<\/a><\/strong> provides intelligent pitch-shift effects and three-voice harmony in one. The effect modes include Harmony, Pitch Shifter, Detune, and Super Band.<\/p>\n

OC-3 Super Octave<\/strong><\/a> delivers high-quality octave effects with three modes: Polyphonic Ocave, Drive, and OC-2.<\/p>\n
