Boss Hm-2 - Swedish Death Metal
Boss MT-2 - New Orleans Sludge Metal
I liked my old Digi tech hot box. That thing had great thrash distortion and a delay pedal on it too.
Yea but with thrash you need it super gated wirh emg81 mid scoop. Palm mute higher up. I get to much trail with metal zones wen playing thrash. Sludge you can use about anything as long as you have those big cabs. Thrash is a hard tone to get live to get your mutes to crunch.
@@MRSludgedude idk it just depends on genre like a JC800 could not really keep up with modern metal. You would need something with as much gain as like a Recto or SLO
@@fatboydashredder9877 might,as well use plugs for modern metal tones.
My metal zone is from the 90s and still sounds great.
Same
THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO EVER
So cool of Sammy to explain this shit
It’s a great distortion pedal, a great pre-amp that pairs well with the power section of an amp, and even as a clean boost, it can provide a sharp tone with shaping options to a high gain channel of an amp. This is quite possibly one of the best and most versatile pedals around.
It's a shame that people have no idea how to use it properly....
Sammy is the nicest guy. Real genuine salt of the earth guy.
Acidbath has been my favorite band for twenty some yrs ..25 maybe .... appreciate your videos !
The Boss Metal zone, Heavy metal,super over drive,and Blues driver pedals were a staple for all of us metal heads back in the day lol.
Acid Baths albums and first 3 Crowbar albums have such a heavy guitar sound. Also love Eyehategod's In the name of Sickness and Taken as needed for pain guitar sound. Heavy, flithy sabbath style riffs.
The Metal Zone rules, dude - piss on all the morons who dis it because they don't know how to set the EQ right.
I bought my first one in early 1994 and it lasted until around a year ago when I accidentally spilled beer on it - lol. I ran it through a Marshall JCM 800 set on clean and then a Laney LC-II 50 watt combo also set on clean, and I played my 1989 American Standard Strat with EMG SA's. A lot of people told me my tone was killer. I could totally get a Master Of Puppets or Vulgar Display Of Power tone.
i suppose gain on max
im a relative newbie to all of this so this is rlly helpful also helps that you can still find models online for relative chips yk
Metal Zone is THE pedal to have. Pretty much all you need really. It's that good
Amptweaker tight metal is superior
That pedal plugged in on a Randall rh200 sounds awesome!
I've used the Zone into tube amps,as a preamp in the loop and I swear it is the basis for a lot of new high gain amps.
Man, the MT-2 is the only pedal that I've rebought multiple times. I don't get the Mt-2 hate. Dude, what's your Discord?.
The Metal Zone is simultaneously famous & infamous. I've met guitarists who adore it & abhor it.
Nice REVENGE shirt, Sammy! ;)
Mesa cabs are THE BEST!
I'd second that and add that for me the 90's era Dual Rec heads are the best as well. 🤘
Absolutely. They crush balls like grapes.
Randall amp: checked (it's a thrasher Fortin tube model but whatever..)
Boss MT-2: Checked (the new one)
Turbo tube screamer: Checked (for EHG)
EMG's on guitar: Checked
Mesa Cab: I have no kidneys left for the Mesa cab yet but i'm working on it..
Now i need a band godamnit... cause my stupid friends don't play me..
That's the first peddle I ever bought, it was great, it just stopped working one day. Now I use the Metal Muff pedal. I can get the same sound and more out of it.
My friend busted one of these out and I plugged it into the fx return of my mesa MarkIII. I ended up with a very similar readout on the pedal with an emg81.
I had 2 in the 90s.. All tryin to sound like old school swedish deathmetal.. Cranked to the max💥
Just bought one. Playing it in C standard and it sounds great.
That's the pedal I use but it has some hiss issues because I play wit humbuckers "...Acid Bath was the shit 🔪
I need to understand this shit more
I took notes from the Crowbar tone because the tone in those albums is great
Equilibrium 🤘
Kirk says the exact same thing in the gear masters interview, Boss mt-2 with distortion 0 level cranked and eq all at 12 o' clock.
@@AFXSnares yup, I saw that one too!
Still have my mt2 it was my first ever pedal!! I always thought this had a lot to do with the acid bath sound! Friends used to say I was crazy it’s acid bath they would never use that lol but fact is I was right!!
what strings does sammy use
he uses dunlop strings
@@gavin6666 thank you gavin!!
What speakers were in your cabinets for acid bath? Just stock randall cabinets?
Holy shit I still have one of these. 🤣
I'm telling ya though man that
Amptweaker tight metal ain't no fucking joke. The pedal to end all distortion pedals
I had a couple different ones of those, I haven't thought about that shit in years.. lol Good brand
Oh we we have the secret formula
Love you Sam your REAL!
It is what it is
You csnt diss the metalzone pedal
Ohh ok the mesa cabs is how you get that huge crowbar tone.
I lent mine out last year to a band recording with Scott Atkins. He told them it was the best cab he's heard.
Very cool I have it to
He seems high
If you were able to turn Kirk out on the metal zone you know it’s a good ass pedal.. hard to believe they go for a hundred + on eBay now
Got mine when they were like 40

I think I paid around $70 for one in 1994.
100$ at guitar center
Nice Revenge shirt 👌
I used one of these to play bmao this morning and now I've found this video 👍
I use my Metal Zone on the clean of any amp I have. I just don't like the sound of the dirty channel. I EQ my cleans then I EQ the pedal. It's nasty if in the right hands but ugly in the wrong hands
That's pretty cool. That was the 2and pedal I ever got. My 1st being a D.O.D. Metal X pedal did you ever use any type of Muff/ Fuzz? How about flanges, phasers, or delays? Take care Man!
Nice man. Clean channel, EMG 81 and metal zone. That's what I've been doing for years. Nice hearing it from the riff master Sammy duet big inspiration for riffs!
I’ve tried a bunch of distortion pedals over the years and the metal zone I bought last year for $35 is my favorite.
💯💯💯
I use a signal blender to stack distortions and fuzz in parallel. The MT-2 cuts through it all like a fucking ban saw. Hell yeah, dude!
I love that his Metal Zone is dusty as hell
🤘🤘🤘
damn what shirt you got? looks awesome
i habe a couple of those. im over here like how the fuck does this dude get that sound. through a behringer bass amp i got it lmao
I still use the metal zone plugged into the front of a clean amp. I love it still. I have tried a few others but I always go back.
Dust adds heavyness to the tone
Love acid bath \m/
Oversize Mesa's are the best cabs
My favorite pedal.
found it
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I saw Acid Bath in , I think, 1996 at the Mirage in Minneapolis and Mike and Sammy let me come on stage after and check out their equipment and settings. I have it all written down on an old flyer somewhere but I do remember Sammy was playing through a Hughes & Kettner Attax 80 that I think he said was a recent purchase at the time. I forget what year his Gibson Flying V was but he said he added the EMG 81's, which Mike also had I believe. I also wrote down his settings for his Boss Metal Zone and Flanger.
Actually it might have been 1994. I saw them twice at The Mirage and the first time there was no one there except some bar fly chicks who didn't even know who the band was. I had ran all the way from my work to see the show, about two miles, and I missed the first couple songs. I started yelling out "play The Blue!" and Dax said "we already played that." So since I was the only one there I said "play it again!" and they fucking did! lol That was so awesome. I'll never forget that.
Then I saw them there a couple years later and the place was fucking packed. I think Sammy might have been playing a Jackson that second time, I'm not sure, but I did go out and buy one around that same time so that was probably my inspiration.
was he using the hughes and kettner amp as a backup for his randall rg100es?
@@sonijam sammy probably was playing a jackson, for acid bath (live) he mostly used whatever charvel's and jackson's he could afford. On the first album he used an ibanez v and a gibson v on the second.
@@gavin6666 Nope, just the Hughes & Kettner. He said he just got it and the Gibson Flying V.
I use a dod death metal and sovtek mig100 = next door neighbor of the acid bath tone
I use it with my bass love it
So do you recommend a tube screamer with it? Like a Ibanez or something
Yes
