Product Description

The DigiTech Metal Master has arrived - head-bangers rejoice! The Metal Master Distortion pedal is a full-featured pedal that delivers DigiTech's exclusive multi-distortion technology, offering users seemingly endless distortion types that can be morphed into a variety of combinations. There's also a normal signal out and an output for cabinet modeling, for use live, or in the studio. Every day more and more players switch to X-SeriesTM stompboxes. Perhaps it's because they are so versatile; it may be because they're the most powerful stomboxes in the world, or maybe it's just because they sound great! Whatever the reason, Korn, Stone Sour, Nickleback, Disturbed and many other top bands are all making the switch. The DigiTech Metal Master is the world's most advanced heavy metal distortion pedal. DigiTech's exclusive AudioDNATM technology is what makes the Metal Master more than your standard distortion stompbox. Rather than working from a single distortion type circuit with tone controls, the Metal Master features a Voice knob which morphs between three totally different metal distortion types. This gives you a wide variety of different metal distortion sounds that can be dialed in quickly and easily.

DigiTech XMM Metal Master-Distortion Guitar Pedal Review

In short, this pedal's does exactly what you should hope it does, given the name. It produces high-quality heavy metal distortion tones.

As I progressed as a guitarist, I kind of skipped from the very low end of guitar effects to the high end (a Line 6 Guitarport/Toneport kept me busy in between) and missed the middle. I only came back and grabbed this pedal because it was the most appealing DigiTech pedal I could get in a buy 2 get 1 free rebate offered by the company. If I could go back, I would definitely buy this pedal earlier in my career.

One thing should be made clear, this pedal has no distortion level (misnamed "gain" on some pedals) knob. Your only option is to stick with the gain it happens to provide. You are stuck with a gain (as in actual distortion-free volume electrical signal increase), low eq., high eq., and "morph" knobs.

From the manual:
[The morph knob] morphs between the three different metal distortion voicings...
"smooth high gain tone" -> "scooped midrange sound" -> punchy mid range heavy metal sound that really cuts through the mix."

This pedal is focused in the realm of Judas Priest, Metallica, Megadeth, etc. You may not be able to go all the way to Panteraland with it unless you have some hot pickups and do some amp tweaking, but you can get some pretty brutal sound (at least Testament level) all the same. I find that I can pretty much spin the knobs randomly and get a nice sound. I have tube-based equipment and nicer modeling pedals that are more tweakable and can deliver better tones, but this one is just perfect if you want some excellent sound with minimal effort. It will likely become my main distortion pedal except for when I need something really special.

I've played using this pedal with Seymour Duncan JB and Air Norton pickups and Lace Drop & Gain neck and bridge pickups as well as a Lace Hot Gold single-coil bridge pickup. It sounded excellent on all of them played through a Peavey solid-state half stack. I also have JamMan, Expression Factory, and Synth-Wah pedals from DigiTech, and they've all treated me extremely well. (Yes, I know you can get the Expression Factory to get a lot of the Metal Master's distortion tones, but I prefer to just stick with it's expression sounds and leave the distortion to designated pedals.)

I do really wish they'd include the DigiTech PS200R power supply with these things, though. It's a pain to keep having to deal with batteries or add to my already convoluted power supply scheme.
