As I get less hair and more tattoos this is a concern I have some times.

At least Nazis don't like baseball hats.

Metal Zones are the fucking best.

1. In stock form they slay. Gain on zero. Volume max. Then use it as a semi-paremetric dirty boost.
This into a Randall head is the entirety of Crowbar's tone.

2. If you control the treble and play it into a good clean amp it sounds fucking awesome live.

3. this pedal is totally ILF.
It is cheap and you can dial in an insane variety of both standard and weird ass tones. It has Line 6 Spider Insane Channel levels of gain.

4. It's easy to mod.

It is the fucking best.

There are very few reasons not to own a metal zone. If it only had a second output to run into itself. I guess that can be achieved with a splitter cable

I told my friend that this thread was a brilliant project & potentially as cool as Pete Frame's 'Rock Family Trees'.
She said: 'Pete who?'
This made me feel old.
Here is a Pete Frame Rock Family Tree from the days when dinosaurs stalked the earth.
Your fuzz tree could look like this!

I was needing to feel normally obsessed, thank you

This has quietly been happening for a couple years now with the FX86 and exploded with the Jason Lamb episode of the JHS show.

I have been stockpiling them for years and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to pick them up used, even the 86B. I think at this point a MIT HM-2 is easier to buy on reverb.....

Metal Zone is a damn good pedal with lots of EQ options. I don’t buy the hate. I love it on bass.

Definitely those Yamaha distortions look really cool and I’ve been eyeballing a few used ones.

Back before I couldnt afford pedals my favourite sound in guitar rig 4 was two micro synths and two metal zones in parallel with some delay and lfo on the mid frequency. I blew my interface doing no-input mixing with that

That sounds very cool actually

More digital fuzz!

wait who the f is this now

John Malkovich obviously

I want a second BitQuest so I can actually use the dirty side, that's some tasty digital nasty. I only wish the bass trimpot were an external knob :/ I dream of a custom BQ with that knobby and another footswitch or two.

wait, wait! there is a bass trim pot? I never realized that

Yeah I totally forgot that!

i went and checked and mine seems not to have one. is the dark artwork one another revision than the pink one or whats up?

I think mine was in the first run or at least a very early one; it's acid-etched. I think the bass trimpot works only for the dirty side, and I mainly wish it were external cos the distortion sounds good beefy, but you can really hear glitchy digital artifacts the more you take the bass out.
