A Pedal For The Truly Distorted!

The legendary Digitech Death Metal pedal is by far the most extreme distortion you will ever hear. Simply put, Digitech has turned the gain up to "eleven" and ripped the knob off. The Death Metal has flexible tone shaping, so even though this distortion is over the top, your guitar is guaranteed to cut through!

Digitech Death Metal Distortion Pedal at a Glance:
  • Simple operation with Level, Low, Mid, and High tone controls
  • Dual outputs provide amp output plus cabinet emulation
  • Long battery life plus AC adapter

Incredibly easy to use!
You've never had an easier time getting the sound you want than with the Death Metal! Four east to use knobs control all the parameters of this powerful box. Level boosts the output level of your guitar signal. Low adjusts boost and cut of bass frequencies. Mid adjusts boost and cut of midrange frequencies. High adjusts boost and cut of high frequencies. With the Death Metal it's that easy!

Two outputs with cabinet emulation
The Death Metal's dual outputs give you even more sound shaping options. The Amp output is for connecting directly to your guitar amplifier. The Mixer output features Cabinet Emulation circuitry for a miked up amp tone when connecting directly to a mixing board or recording device. Choose either or mix them - it's your call!

Sweetwater Advice

Carson McClain
The Death Metal is mean, evil, and will rip your guitar sound to shreds. I used this pedal for the majority of my band's guitar tracks on our last recording and it was perfect. This is an essential pedal for metal, industrial, thrash, and gothic. We even use this on our bass rig.
Brian Cravens
This is the true wall of molten metal pedal for the head banger in you. Turn your amp to the clean channel, set the tone knobs straight up, turn on this pedal, and voila! A true Jekyll-and-Hyde transformation to a straight-up hot metal sound. So much low end, you may want to warn the neighbors first.

Perfect for more than Death Metal

Though the name suggests that the pedal would be used for primarily Death Metal, you can use this baby for pretty much any metal you want! It may only have four knobs but with each turn you go deeper ... read more [+]and deeper into metal perfection. There is no limit to what you can do with this pedal, each combination of turns gives you a whole new type of distortion, though all are fantastically heavy and well rounded. If you can think of a type of metal, this pedal can do it! I've made this thing have violin like sustain and I've had it crunch with the like's of Metallica and Slayer.

Me and friend jam all the time and I'll tell you what, I'm glad this pedal has two outputs, I'll plug into his mixer and my amp at the same time for tonal nirvana, while his mixer is delivering my leads, my amp is there for backup effects, it's like hearing three guitars (because my friend plays one too)! If you are a professional looking for a sinister pedal at a very friendly price, or your a an aspiring musician (like myself) looking for your first pedal to metal out too, you should definately be on the lookout for this one.

I dropped this thing down a flight of stairs (on accident) and you wouldn't have even noticed if you didn't see me drop it. All I know is that if you buy this pedal, be prepared to shred, 'cause this thing is perfect. close [-]

“I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!”
