What pedals do I need to get Dimmu Borgir's sound?

right now I only have a DOD Grunge Pedal, Boss Heavy MEtal Pedal,
Envelope Filter, Cry BABY wah and that about it.....
Any distortion pedals to get that more crunchier sound from Dimmu Borgir?

LOL....This might also be another stupid question,
But is Dimmu Borgir Death Metal or Dark Metal?

Dimmu Borgir are black metal, and there can be no argument to this...why, you ask? Because Shagrath says himself that they are "Norwegian black-fucking metal"

As far as their sound goes, basically I've just used the regular distortion channel that is built into my Fender amp, and killed my bass and upped the treble and mids on my EQ and it sounds rather close.

Try just adjusting your equalization settings and see if that helps, but I guarantee a grunge pedal won't work well, try to work with the Boss.

I had the DOD Death Metal pedal,
but I didn't like it, it made my guitar sound like a fart......LOL!
but the DOD grunge has better sound, though the death metal
is heavier; the sounds annoy you like hell, but I plan on buying a
Metal Zone, maybe that will help to get Dimmu Borgir's sound since I'm
poor as hell to afford the pre amps and stuff, maybe Silenoz will donate his gear to
me, LOL!

I just use the overdrive on my 1x12 and it sounds really good I think for most styles of music. I don't have a dist. pedal.... maybe if I started a band I'd look for one though.

Dimmu is like 'nu' black metal.

Preamps are just that, they provide everything except ampilfication. It basicly moddsifys and eqs your sound. You then can run that into a power amp (best way), a PA, or another amp. Heads and combos have both a pre-amp (the eq, reverb, ect) and a power amp section (volume). Thoes Line 6 PODs are preamps.

I agree, after listening to albums like Death Cult and Puritanical I found out they do seem to get into the "Nu" phase.

There is already a thread about how to get Dimmu Borgir's sound in guitar forum, which leads you to another thread that is the exact Dimmu Borgir set up... lazy.
