New Strymon pedal

[Jwar]

On the note of the Metal Zone, I really want to try one since there's so much shit talked on them. I bought a Boss SD1 today and it's the shit, so I dig my Boss stuff.

Someone has one for sale on Facebook right now but they want 60 bucks shipped and I've seen them go for like 25-30 LOL! So no dice.

Do the GC used site. Ton of them for $29, just scroll past the overpriced ones.

[odontophobia]

if i wanted a metalzone i'd just troll craigslist until somebody who was selling their first guitar, pedal, and amp was selling their FX PEDAL and snatch it up for a cool $25 or whatever.
i really want to try the anarchy audio metalzone hm2 mod. seems interesting.

sick new boost pedal brah

[coupleonapkins]

The namesake, possibly?

Sadly, it's also a "city" in "California"

just needs a seedy meth'ed out underbelly.

For anyone on the fence about a Metal Zone, pay no more than $30 & try to enjoy yourself

Also,

I refer you to my 4 $75 fuzzes thesis

I think this OD pedal needs a perfect compliment:

Only one of those four would rock a big yellow Riverside dildo.

Riverside is a "city" in "California" that the "Beat Farmers" wrote a "song" about, which sounds "pretty much" like the Strymon's "tones" but without a $300 "pedal".

Dudes, gain down the metal zone is in effect an insanely powerful parametric eq with a fuckload of gain on tap.

Crowbar use/d them that way as a boost/eq as well.

Recommended.

Crowbar are the fucking best.
Edit: I've never given a shit about the MT2 before in my life and I just did some quick reading. I think I want one to stick in front of my 1984.

Yeah, for the most part, I think Strymon produces quality stuff. I love my El Cap. But the absurdity of a $300 normal dirt box with one preset that people are fawning over before even hearing it, like they were earlier this morning, drives me a little crazy.

Granted, we do the same for Montreal Assembly and Smallsound/Bigsound on this board. everybody's got their thing, but it is fun to mock the other camps.

Do we? I love a good arbitrary straw man as much as the next guy but I'm prettu sure that's hilariously incorrect.

I think so, yeah. It's a matter of scale, but we're still drooling over stuff in the same way. Same process, different direction.

There you go with that "we're" again.

GOOSED. CANNIBAL CORPSE TOAN

I believe you are referring to Cannibal Goose, who are not to be fucked with.

Yeah, I don't see how this thing can even think about beating a Mini for example in terms of sound and versatility.
They could have at least modeled some nice bias/headroom/starve thing in there and I would have been interested but as is... meh.

This is what I was thinking, too. 3 band EQ is the only thing they could think of to use those three knobs for? OK...'drive/gain,' 'volume'....now what? Bias/starve/sag/grit? Pulsewidth? Contour? How about an additive dirt pedal that goes crazy on even-order harmonics? One that adds some 14kz crystal lettuce? SO BORING

LMAO

Deco seems interesting now.
