      Early Florida Death Metal was mostly Marshall Valvestate or JCM with a boost/overdrive in front. Swedish Death metal started with the same amps but adopted the 5150 earlier. They also used the HM-2 a lot and the MT-2 on occasion. The thing to remember though is that you basically never hear pedal distortion alone, it's a multitracked mix of amp distortion and pedals.
