The hm is boss Heavy Metal right? I've also seen a Boss Hyper Metal of which I havent played.
My friend has the Heavy Metal one and it sucks ass. Metalzone is WAY better.

yes it does sucks, i used one with my 15 watt crate when i started.. it made me not want to play guitar cause the tone... or lakc of sucked.

which mxr? the dime one is unusable unless you only play fuzzy scooped out korn type music that needs no real tone... i like the clean distortion that comes from good amps, not cheap fuzz boxes that sound like you just stuck your head in a metal garbage can and had somebody smack it with a baseball bat. but anyways, the majority of gear that says dime on it is complete garbage(except the wahs).

that dime pedal sucks. But his wah's are cool... but i think their just painted 535 q's

I used to use a boss MT-2, Zoom Tri-Metal, Boss DS-1, and I have had various multi effects boards, and all of the boards blew, I used ot have to use an EQ pedal with the Boss MT-2 to get the tin sound out if it and I hated the other boss, the only one I liked was the tri-metal, but when you turned it on, to get a good sound out of it, you had to turn down the volume, and then it was far lower then the clean channel, it would be great if you had no use in a clean channel, but that was how I set it when I had it, but I could probably get a much better sound out of it now that I have had a few more years of playing... but amp distortion is far easier to deal with live, and there is no worry about a battery or an extra plug or cord or any of that bull shit that happens...

I dont know much about this shit but i prefer the multi effect pedals (GNX3) but if im wrong please tell me so...

at least its not one of those crap rp's.... but any decent, hell any half decent amp could still get better distortion. decent effects though imo.

The line 6 DM4 is the best distortion pedal ive ever played, and ive used lots of em

i mean its got soooo much range and heavey distortion sounds quite good on it

only thing about it is sometimes(not a whole lot, but a little) it lacks clarity

i use a rat, theyre the shit dude. ive ran it through a laney tt100 and a marshall jcm800 and it sounded terrific

when you ran the rat through a jcm 800 where you getting a good Morbid Angel sound??

I just got a shitty early 90's DOD preamp/effects processor for my guitar pretty hilarious. But here's a dumb question, can I use it with my bass too, or is that just a bad idea?

And to whoever said pedals are for noob's is actin' a fool, come on just think about what you said, how many band's do you listen to who use at least one pedal?

__________________

most bands you will listen to will be using a good amp or boutique pedal for dist... and their tone is good.

the only way i'd use a pedal was if i had a medium/low gain amp like a fender hotrod,peavey classic 30,ect.... but i'd use a good o.d. pedal, not some cheap digitech or boss metal pedal.

The Fatal tube sample didnt sound too bad... but that extreme three is buzzy as fuck. I myself use a peavey Xl Supreme, a BBE sonic maximizer 362, a 2 channel 32 band Eq, and a retrofitted ampeg Cabinet with V30s. i get my dist from the amp and the eq.

that setup sounds like it'd be pretty heav' sounding.... maybe a better head.... but good job on the bbe and graphic eq, huge help for anyamp. plus v30's rock my socks....
