Bobby Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 dont do it. get rid of the tri-metal. buy a better distortion pedal, something valve-based if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac Atom Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Thirded! Dude - if you want an eq pedal just go for the boss one, I forget the number etc now but its the one both Dan and I use and they are the bomb, usually get one on ebay in good nick for about 50 too Also, what amp head do you have? I'm a firm believer in getting rid of distortion pedals for your basic sound, you can't beat a driven valve head and it means there's much less chance of that disgusting over-saturated sound which is standard with most of those pedals, even with the gain rolled off a little.

Guest Gregor Ascension Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 get a boost pedal for a distortion sound. i recommend an ibanez tubescreamer. i think i have an old ts 7, and it kicks boss pedals asses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott! Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 What could possibly be special about a Kerry King EQ? Automatic scooped mids? Automatic shitty tone? Go for the Boss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tav Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Like Mac said think Guitar and Amplifier before pedals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.M Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 What could possibly be special about a Kerry King EQ? Automatic scooped mids? Automatic shitty tone? Go for the BossThe only difference between the standerd MXR ten band EQ and the KK sig one is that the KK has dual outputs. Would be handy if you were in a position to require the usage of two seperate amps, but otherwise, it's not worth the extra cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gasss Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 If you're dead set on an EQ pedal, I'd think twice about the Boss. I sold my Danelectro Fish n' Chips mini EQ to get the Boss GE-7 because of the fiddly switching. Unfortunately the GE-7 is really noisy in comparison, regardless of the settings. Lots of people who post on guitargeek and harmony-central seem to agree with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 for eq's the dano mini one is supposed to be brilliant, just as good if not better than the boss, and a fraction of the pricei use a MXR 6 band and it is an awesome pedal too, the 10 band should be just as good with even more control, and the only upgrades teh kk has is the second output (useful if you run two amps) and the paintjobDavid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chi 666 Posted August 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 i have a gibson voodoo V with a peavey supreme 100W half stack and a tri metal zoom pedal. the amp has ok distortion but not as good as the pedal through the clean channel. if i get an EQ will that improve the amps distortion?

Alex Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 It'll make the sound different, as it'll alter the harmonics that are added on when you distort. Go and experiment yourself. It's much more fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gasss Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 I think the other guys are right that you should be looking at your amp and pedal if you're unhappy about your tone. But if you want to experiment, rather than splashing out on the MXR I'd recommend getting the cheap Dano and having a read here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 I you are unhappy with your distortion sound then change the distortion sound not the eq. IMHO Kerry King has a horrible guitar sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
