I think because it has the word Screamer in the name: Metal core is all about the perception of heavy.

In that case ...



Metal Driver is a TS808 with sweepable mids.

It's almost too perfect

On a useless sidenote: the label "metalcore" has changed so much over the last twenty years.

Hyup. So much.

Anybody ever use these?
They have a TS STyle Pedal that looks pretty cool (Who doesn't)

Has the term "metalcore" really been around for 20 year? Either I'm getting too old too fast, or these subgenres are subject to too much interpretation and come about in hindsight. Perhaps I'm just too brutal, and what most people consider metal/metalcore I just consider hardcore/emo. Oh labels, what a funny concept. Such a love/hate relationship I have.

You're right, I don't remember really using that label all that much when I first started going to shows. It was just hardcore that was very metallic really. From my memory, the term started becoming more prominent in the mid-late 90s when Victory Records was getting popular. Before that, the term was pretty fluid and described various types of bands, but it was always rooted in hardcore/punk. I can't say the same about bands that its associated with today. The same goes for post-hardcore/emo/screamo. Those terms have radically changed! A band like Shotmaker does not belong in the same sentence as My Chemical Romance!

Wow, annoying and useless conversation by me. Labels are a funny concept indeed.

It sucks that nobody that listens to that type of "music" and calls it metalcore has ever listened to Botch.

I tried playing with my amp getting banged by a friend's Maxon OD808 and the result was pretty awesome.

A tubescreamer is metalcore?

Bring Me The Horizon/Bleeding Through/I killed The Prom Queen guitarist Jona Weinhofen -Maxon OD808
Bring Me The Horizon's Lee Malia - Ibanez TS9
Parkway Drive- OD808
Bullet For My Valentine- Tube Screamer
...I could go on. xD

Klons and praise & worship? Doing things only because they're popular at the moment for some desperate attempt at fame and recognition and not due to a genuine interest in music?

[Here Lies The Fire]

All I know is that an 808 style OD pushes my and tightens up my amp enough that it will work for what I am going for...though flat out distortion pedals are rather convenient when switching from all out mayhem to clean with a single chan amp.

i was listening to some Genghis Tron earlier, and i realized that my $20 digitech death metal comes no where close to that heavy
