Not a single Mid was harmed in the making of this video.
jamie c that’s the best comment I ever read 👍👏
HAHAHAHAHAH, PERFECT!! I had so many thoughts regarding the mids, you have encapsulated them all perfectly!
c
Really? Sounded to me they were all killed off once Lee stepped on that first pedal.
or heard
I don't know why but 16:11 had me dying laughing.
"One, two, three, four."
*plays one note*
"AAAAAAHHHHH"
The Diezel VH4 is the pedal version of the VH4 head they brought out a while ago. For me though the 5150 wins all the way sound wise!!!
Metal Muff was my first pedal and I have no regrets about it, it's great for a modern metal OD with a ton of bottom end and tightness.
Wow. 07:51 - The Captain's face when Rob said no to the Keeley. Kinda my face too.
Isn't 5150 referencing to the police code 5150 which means insane/crazy dangerous person? That's what I always thought though.
Yes, you're right
it's the name of EV's studio and i think it's street no as well :)
Thierry Driessen no, the reason it’s 5150 is because it’s an Eddie Van Halen pedal and that was the title of a Van Halen album
Ean Bruette Well duh, but that all stems from the police code
Actually it's from 5150 studio which was/is Van Halen's studio and refers to a section of the California legal code related to psychiatric detention
The Metal Core pedal is my distortion pedal. I use it through a clean jazz amp from the 60s and get a pretty good sound. Could never really get a good sound out of the Metal Zone or DS1 Distortion.
Bandit Keith King of Duel Monsters Right on bro, I think it gets spillover hate because of the Metal Zone. I put a Jim Dunlop Wah in front (toe down) for a buzz-saw-esque tone which reminds me of Appetite era Guns 'n Roses.
I bought the Blackstar HT-tube drive distortion pedal- through the front of my amp it sounds all muddy and - just not good. Put it in the fx loop- put a compressor pedal and a boost in front of the amp- put a 10 band eq pedal after the drive pedal in the loop= bad ass setup. The boost gives me all the saturation I could ever want, it doesn't increase volume because it's in front of the drive- it increases saturation. The compressor, which is first in the chain, gives me all the sustain I could ever want, and it increases the strength of my signal which also increases saturation. The Drive pedal of course does what drive pedals do- and the eq, being at the very end of the chain, allows you to tweak the overall tone anyway you want. I'm telling you- if you try it- you'll never put a drive pedal in front of your amp again. It sounds way, way better.
Lee, you should really get in touch with Peter Diezel and stock some of his amps like the "Lil' Fokker". They are immense!
I don't own any pedals and use amps and preamps, but Boss has been a decent pedal company since I can remember, they keep a standard form factor, the Metal Core sounded unreal. Fairly decent results here. No one other than Lee makes videos fun, he is 100% of the boyish curiosity that makes Andertons videos more fun than anybody. He IS the modern day Benny Hill. He just makes people smile. Japanese engineering is not to be underestimated. Boss.
Man I'm sold on the EVH 5150 pedal. Can't wait to demo it myself!
9:53 best cover of mouth for war
The Pinnacle only got a no in the second round because it was in "vintage" mode instead of "modern" in addition to other settings from round 1. Fun game though... you guys have the best job in the world.
I had all of them, and without a doubt the Mega Distortion Md-2 cover all of them, even from the Blues Driver to the Metal Zone, try it, this is a good video but you have to use them all to realise that the range of the MT-2 will give you a lot tools to work with, may be not so specific inside a type of music, you can play blues, crunch, hard, punk, metal, rythm and lead, if you dont have room for a lot of distortion pedals this one is a no brainer, if you are going to do always trash, ok the metal zone is may be the best option, but if you play diferent styles for sure you"ll be happy with the Mega, i repeat i tried them all, i had them and use them individually for a lot of time (not so the metal core, with that one just played a couple of hours) so at list give it a try if you can, may be you find it cool, versatile and at the end save some money buying just one pedal instead 2 or 3...
Please do the same for pedals over a already distorted amp, for metal tone!
I am buying a pedal and looked at all of these on various sites. I watched entire video, thanks. I will most likely order the EVH pedal. I honestly hated all the metal zone pedals. Diezel was really nice.
Diezel is the best without question. Definitely go for that one if you have the cash. I've tried them all and nothing comes close to the vh4 pedal. 5150 is pretty good though for sure. Probably would be my second choice or the new waza MT2 if you have an fx loop on your amp. It's actually very very good.
If you want an "ampy" sounding distortion pedal, try the Jetter Gold Standard!! It is absolutely worth every penny/shilling, whichever!
I was shocked that the Dracarys didn’t make it into the top 5! Felt like a bit more “tone fiddling” could’ve been done... but I guess that’s the point, can’t get a good tone out of it instantly, then jog on!
What are like the key factors in telling whether a pedal is designed to go over a clean tone or crunch tone?
there's a company called Triton lab they make a pedal called Caravan so I got the pedal from a recommendation. So when I got it I did a shootout between amptweaker tight Metal Pro and the Caravan and much to my surprise the Caravan completely demolished it no comparison whatsoever. Mind you the amp tweaker is considered one of the best High Gain pedals for metal. Caravan is half the price and so much better! There may be a few pedals that are as good but none better
This is my favorite channel now.
So they create a barrier to remove the sight bias, however lee says “this pedal needs to win for best use of LEDs” but I guess it didn’t really sway his judgment as he didn’t say yes anyway, just a thought
HAHAHA 16:11 probably my favorite part - but I loved the whole thing. This was fun!
That ds-1 looks and sounds amazing I want one
Would have loved to hear the Diezel straight into the tube power amp, as the Diezel has a separate output designed exactly for that setup. VH4-2 adds a clean channel but is a few more $$$
+Richard Williams you should watch the review of the VH4 that we did then!
I do remember watching this video now th-cam.com/video/IYV38t-jDUA/w-d-xo.html Some very funny moments. Captain Lee has been a bad bad boy, lol
5150 is or atleast was the LA area police code for a criminally insane person
I don't believe I've found a distortion pedal that I've said "Best distortion I've ever heard"Revv g3/Amptweaker tight metal and Marshall Jackhammer are pretty damn good I'll hafta say though.🤘😎👍
Need to make metal pedal shootout #2
Sounds to me if the fizz is tight and compressed it sounds good. Maybe add a little presence or reverb. ?
There is an amp called the Hot Rod Deville "ML 212" So playing a chapman ml2 into a boss ml-2 through a ml 212 would be interesting...
people talk shit about the metal zone but it's a pretty sick pedal when you mod it.
28:38
Thank you sososososososososososo much! this really helps me with pedal buys, because there's not that many great stores around to test cool pedals so this helps much so that I can look up stores that have these 5 pedals :)
Should try the Riviera Metal Shaman pedal
I like the Diezel hv4
Few pedals you gave up to soon cause they had so many adjustments you could tweak with.
He hardly tried dialing in the MXR Fullbore, and I'm sad.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on an AMT Legend M1.
Would you please do a video with these kind of pedals on a valve or digital amp to see which one more closely resembles the amp/gain sound?
Thanks for making this video. It helped me ALOT! I agree that... for MY needs.... the Metal Core is the winner. Great sound and not gonna make me sell a guitar to be able to buy it. In all fairness the MXR Fullbore Metal is great for pissing off your neighbors dog.
My favorite metal pedal is one that is no longer made. Hardwire TL-2 by Digitech.
I think it's only appropriate that Chappers dove into the Mesa with ...And Justice
Mega Distortion my arse!!! epic fail on that one.....Chappers played a few thrash riffs which are my forte...i'd like to know what you guys think of the BiYang metal End or the Akai Deluxe Distortion??...i'm pondering on these!!!!!
You need a splitter pedal for that EVH because its not foot switchable...which is a shame!!!! overpriced imo
Metal zone runs better in the effect loop. Some pedals are made to be used in the effect loop...
Each pedal should have a time stamp in a list here (like a concert or album video).
Here's a story. I went into a guitar shop young and naive, wanting a pedal I query the fine man behind the desk "Sir, I need a kickass pedal." fucker hands me a Metal Zone MT-2. "Aw yeah that sounds awesome!" I exclaim. Little did I know I was suffering from Severe Dumbassatitis
Are you running the pedals into the front of the amp?
digitech metal master!!! mxr dime distortion??but turbo rat pro co the best!
Destruction Overdrive - solid Zakk jam!
Dunno if someone wrote it.. but you missed one "more gain" in the count
My favorite ? Evh. But i need to buy a guitar before.
So let me get this straight...
You let an admitted non-metalhead try to dial in a high gain pedal
for a dude that can't keep a guitar in tune?
Interesting takeaway, is something most of us already know about "metal" dirt boxes...
we all try to DE-fizz the gain texture by turning down the 'Treble', then realize it doesn't work.
You can't change the nature of clipping diodes.
More gain! ALL THE GAIN! Scoop the mids! Get a mids pedal and, SCOOP THOSE! LINE 6!
SLAAAAAAYER!
If it wasn't obvious before guys ---CHAPMAN DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO GET GOOD HIGH GAIN TONE lol Lee could probably get a better metal tone TBH IMHO.
Now RABEA on the other hand knows how to dial in good tone.
Love videos like these... So creative and fun!
EHX Metal Muff into a nice tube amp 🤘🏼
Anyone else notice at 16:59 Rob isn't playing anything. Really informative video though.
This video type and format is awesome!
“It’s not defined enough, it needs more ............ definition”
Chapper's new nickname should be "More Gain Freeman".
Chris House More Gain Friedman! 🙂
lol
Aziz, gain!
How about "More Gain Friedman"

They missed the one I'd have liked to have seen tested, VHT's Redline V-Four. Pre-Amp guts of VHT's Redline 20R/40R/60R amp in a pedal format. Has 4 modes OD/Distortion/Metal/Redline (Djent Hi-Gain Metal).
_"If you got all the wasps in the world, they wouldn't sound as bad."_
_"So, can you make it better, Lee?"_
_"Nope."_
-The comprehensive Andertons review of the MXR Fullbore Metal pedal.
Sahil Londhe actually it isn't that bad, i have one and it's awesome
enrique sabbi - please post a video. I've never heard a fullbore metal sound anything less like all the wasps in the world.
I didn't own one for long, but the EQ is pretty flexible. Turn the gain and treble waaaaaaay down, then find a sweet spot in the mids and push to taste. Basically, don't use it as intended.
The NotSoGuitarGuy To be honest if you don't know how the Eq section works it will sound like a fuzz but try it yourself, take your time and you will find it very versatile when it comes to heavy music, no mild crunch with it
You'd be surprised, treble at 0 turns it into a monster. Whoever designed the treble range was on crack, but the rest of the pedal sounds really good, you just need to know the treble trick.
The problem here is that you should've put someone who can dial in a metal tone in those pedals, because Lee can't do it, as it isn't his style. You should've put Rabea or someone else to dial the tones. Great video tho.
Azekiano was thinking the exact same. Could have helped for the more "option paralysis" pedals like the filament
great point - but I do like the non bias (WTF factor) that Lee adds to the mix otherwise you end up with comedy only comedians will appreciate
I somewhat agree, however, in my opinion the best pedals should sound good with almost any settings. I actually own a metal zone (stupid impulse buy from my early teen years) and I can get a good sound out of it.......but there's really only one or two sounds that are even usable. So I consider it a crappy overall pedal, that has it's uses occasionally.
Lee drove me crazy. Random turning and pushing.
yeah hes not all that great at getting a metal tone tbh
Glad that most of you have enjoyed this video! I know a few of you would have chosen different pedals, or might have set them up differently, but I guess what this video really does is show that different people like different things & there is no such thing as the "best" anything - only what you like & what you don't! These videos are shot completely honestly - the pedals are simply picked based on what we had available on that day & the person doing the playing (in this case Rob), genuinely has no idea what the pedals are & is under no pressure to pick/like certain ones. If you like this style of video, we have already made 3-4 to cover other styles of pedal & our intention is to do more to cover more pedal types. Cheers all!
Good video concept. Itd also be interesting to try robs favourite pedal In front of different amps from cheap to expensive
Or trying to get opposing tones from amps, cleans from a diesel, dirty fender etc
Would love to hear which metal amps actually produce good, sparkling cleans. A lot of guys need versatility, these days but most amp reviews for high gain amps focus on just that, high gain.
CaptAnderton If you have one or can get it, you should put the Digitec metal master against the metal core. Pesonally the metal master sounds better than the metal core to me
Yo rob, Nice video! I'm surprised that the Filaments drive didn't quite stack up. The only pedal I think was sorely missing (and that Rob may really like) is one you've probably been hassled about a ton: Precision Drive by Horizon Devices. They sound killer for metal and has a built in gate if you're into that kinda thing~
Go to Andertonsmusic.com for info about "5150". I hope this helps.... this amp is much better for USA VS UK gear shootout.
Now do it with Rabea cause he has a completely different high gain sound
YES. Guarantee his pedals would be totally different. He has a much more modern sound.
Hear hear!
Not Real Yes please!
Didn't they do this only about a month ago?
Berserker26 - Video or didn’t happen!
Metal Zone, Miku, and a hot pink Ibanez plugged into a potato. This is my dream rig.
No no no....plugged into a Crate solid state stack from the 90's. Potato goes in the loop.
I own a hot pink Ibanez 👊😎👊
@@JInfinity7 tater in the loop, and using an ABY to go to a Crate stack and a shitty tiny bass amp. Also make sure that Ibanez has a Floyd on it, but it’s set up incorrectly.
Its hilarious because Chappers is like 'can you please do X, increase X' and Lee's like 'erm yeah' - proceeds to randomly twist knobs.
In every. single. blind comparison video, Lee is absolutely atrocious at using pedal knobs. 😂
@@devinftf Random example: Rob hears the BE-OD, asks for less treble. Lee turns down the treble, then IMMEDIATELY turns up the gain for no apparent reason.
Miku should appear in every video
John Osborne Top 5 Gibson guitars:
#1: Miku
(This is so funny bc my name‘s Miko... hehe)
+Jack Williamson that gave me a good chuckle, especially because I hate that thing.
One into one would be even worse. No offense to anyone that likes them.
Jack Williamson I want to hate it to but the original Miku video was hilarious
@ Jack Williamson: What happens is you break the Internet.
I would say like what they're doing is just right. A little here and there so it doesn't get old too fast :)
The Captain spins the knobs so fast he goes right past the sweet spot. Am I wrong ?
Yeah, it is frustrating to see him doing that.
Wishful thinking: A good dist pedal doesn't have a sweet spot all the sounds should sound at least usable
You got that right, sir.
@@captaindelculo1731 well said

Who else watched the whole video because of their undying love of metal?
And the fact I just purchased a Metal Core pedal and am waiting for it to arrive.
Not me.
I did!
I did
I watched it for my undying love of the Anderton's process
Rob: "Make it less bright please" - Captain: MOVES ALL SWITCHES AND KNOBS
LOL! So true! With ML-2 "Could I get less gain" *Lowers gain then raises it again so the drop is about **3:30**-**2:30* (which is next to less than nothing, this thing sounds metal at zero.)
Less treble! Less treble!! -
- TWIST TWIST TWIST TWIST
Less Treble!
...Oh dear......
TWIST TWIST TWIST TWIST
-NOPE.
AHAHA
Lee's fiddling induces massive anxiety.
lol - trigger warning
I'm sure he knows what he is listening for and he can do that very quickly, but for the rest of us, yeah, it just is like,,, for f sake stop already, haha. Just let us hear a second of that before you turn another knob. He's not the only one guilty of this but it does kind of make me want to just run in there and pull him off the thing. I think he's also just operating at a faster gear than most of us are in when listening to these. So it seems as if he's in panic mode until you get to know him. Then it's just Lee, haha. I know I do that sometimes at work when I'm just in a higher gear and moving more efficiently flying through things and slamming things around a bit. Everyone else thinks I'm panicking and royally pissed off. From my perspective it just seems like everything else is in slow motion. At those moments no one else can understand anything else I say until I down shift massively so I can speak clearly with room between words and such. Maybe Lee should just count "one one thousand, two one thousand" lol, or something between knob tweaks. He's still my favorite though of everyone there, great guy.
The A Team riff was worth the price of admission.
It's called the 5150 because 51 people out of 50 will enjoy this video
Of all the pedals, I personally loved the 5150 all-around best.
great pedal along with the Friedman be od
5150 refers to the California law code for the temporary, involuntary psychiatric commitment of individuals who present a danger to themselves or others due to signs of mental illness. It has been more generally applied to people who are considered threateningly unstable or “crazy.”
Van Halen Album, and add or grossly disorganized to loss of your custody... Adults only, then by law you visit a court of law and a judge before 73 hours passes to see if the judge will increase the time you don't have custody of yourself... 5185 for minors back in the day...if memory serves... A year late...
Honestly the 5150 pedal is goddamn killer.
True about the Metal Core. I actually was planning to get Boss Metal Zone on 2011. Luckily they were out of stock so tried giving Metal core a try. Honestly one of the best Distortion pedals I have got. Truely underrated.
I pumped my fist so hard when the Metalcore was in the top 5
It’s on my birthday list, can’t wait! 😁
I would love to see Lee do the same kind of test with “blues-ey” pedals and Chappers at the controls
Ola Englund recently put a Metal Zone in the effects loop and OH MAN it made an incredible difference. The pedal went from unusable to wheres my credit card I need one of these!
Yeah I saw that, sounded killer
Yep. Now because of ola’s vid I’m getting one
yes,but Ola is unique.I saw him make chug anything!
Makes me really wonder how much better some of these could sound given the same treatment
The Metal Muff is just a clone of the Metal Zone with a mids control, fixes it entirely
A metal pedal shootout and in the pile of pedals you can see the damn miku, you know the video will be a fun overload.
Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal championed by CSG!!!
And every Swedish melodic death metal band ever
[Insert "ALL THE GAIN" joke here]
Brad James z Gold.
They should do a similar with CSG but all the pedals are metal zone and modded metal zones
NO MIDS!!
MORE GAIN!!
First metal pedal I bought was the fullbore. I was drunk and ordered it online. At the time I thought it was a good decision.
We are living the same life
Replace “drunk“ with being “high on crack cocaine” and you pretty much have it,,.looks like we’re cut from the same cloth gentleman.
Let’s see MG Marshall mini stack, Boss Metal Zone .At the time it was such a great idea, Affordable Marshall stack, A Boss pedal for high gain metal distortion? how were we supposed to know they would become NOTORIOUS?! awarded for sucking the most **** OF ALL TIME. Ahhhhh.....
5150 is the name of Eddie's studio, the first album they recorded with Sammy Hagar and it's the California law enforcement call sign for crazy person on the loose.
jonny j eddies studio is more important
The Friedman and the Diezel crushed everything else. Chappers, you have some odd taste in tone man.
Also try the Empress Heavy. Would've been an excellent contender in this shootout.
The Muff made it but the Filaments and Dracarys didn't? That is highly unexpected. Also I'm pretty sure sou can tweak the Palisades to do the job even though it's a 'TS' type pedal.
I don't use distortion pedals so I really don't care whether they are worth the asking price tbh.
I have some arguments to refute your points but in all honesty I'm only still here because of how amusing I find your utter lack of chill.
Wampler Dracarys should have made the cut
Aight at this point I have no idea wtf you are trying to say any more.
All the FIZZ, None of the mids lol ear strain
Caloss2 Channel I could hear so much mids in some pedals.. and they're really good too...

You would have saved a lot of time if you had turned down the treble on the amp
“Let’s turn the mid off” said every young high school metal kid with a Roland cube
I don't understand why almost everybody dislikes and laughs at Metal Zone.
I'm using this pedal to even play Jimmy Hendrix, Dire Straits or bluesy tube tunes, but for most I'm able to make an awsome metal sound!!!🤘😈
You need to know how to control it's immense distortion capabilities, high trebly tones and complement it's sound with adjusting tones on your amp!!! even adjusting the volume of your guitar makes a huge difference.
This is not one of those pedals which you plug in and expect to find a killer sound in 5sec. In my opinion Metal Zone can be VERY versatile, as long you know how to achieve it.
When I bought this pedal in the 90s I was very frustrated with it, I remember my ears were bleeding at the beginning, but in time I learned how to control that pedal and now I'm glad I never sold it.❤️🔥
Challenge for you Rob and lee. Can you tell the difference between cheap and expensive guitar cables. Loved the video 😜
I can't believe you cut the Keeley FIlaments and the Amptweaker.
Agreed. I have the Tight Metal Jr. and it is awesome but it does take some fiddling and the Captain didn't have the time.
kawikaphotography I have the original Tight Metal (the one that was replaced by the ST) and the BE-OD. I like them both for different reasons. The BE-OD sounds a lot like amp distortion while the Tight Metal is very versatile. The Keeley Filaments is on my list. It may replace the BE-OD.
And left in things like the metal muff
Idk why, but seeing Lee put both hands up like "Idk else to f*ckin do?!?!" when rob askin for more gain is hilarious everytime haha!
After you do this with every type of pedal can you make the ultimate pedalboard with all your favourite pedals from the videos?
Metal Muff is super versatile. A lot of folks don't even know its out there. I do hate that it says "
n/ METAL!!" on it... but eh.
Yea its very fuzzy but still articulate.
I'd be really interested to hear exactly what Chappers is looking for because he dismissed some tones I really liked and said he loved some tones I really didn't think sounded good. I'm not a metal guitarist so obviously we're listening for different things tonally but it'd still be interesting.
Chris Preece same here I noticed he hates the treble sounding metal pedals
As a death metal guy, I would look for pedals that are not fizzy or pronounced in their top end frequencies (bc that's just harsh) and got a lot of mid or upper mid bite for note definition with lower tunings and satisfying chuggs. And I think that (mostly) he went for that as well. Which is why I was incredibly surprised by the Metalcore bc it sounded very unpleasant to my ears. Not like the Metalzone but getting there.
Something is weird abut the video, no to the Filaments and Dracarys, 2 of the best modern distortion pedals around was a bold move, not sure if maybe Rob just wasn't keen on Lee's EQing?
I agree, i tend to play 80s metal and i would have chosen the pinnacle and diezel over everything else as they were far less fizzy/fuzzy.
I'm on headphones but I feel like I couldn't possibly be hearing what Chappers is hearing. But I'm also not a metal guy and I love fuzz pedals, so maybe I'm not remotely listening for the same things as him.
2:44 is a beautiful moment.
Where's that Maxon OD tho
bakerXderek I have the Maxon ROD/Distortion. Its basically the Ibanez tube King from the 90s with a boost switch. Love the pedal. Very versatile. But I love it as my lead tone. Sustain for days
Exactly, because Maxon was the ones that made them back in the day :)
I was so happy when I saw Captain pull out the Metal Muff with top boost. I was like "Ayyyy! I got that pedal!" then even more so happy when it made it into the top 5. It was the first pedal I ever bought I wanna say 3 or 4 years ago.
I was the same way hahaha
Lol me too
I love how Lee is trying to change the knobs on the Metalzone to make it sound good. You can only polish a turd so much my friend.
Apparently some people say that it's more or a pre-amp kind of pedal and that people who think it's shit aren't using it as such and that the tones are easy to mess up as well so that's a thing
