DigiTech Grunge Pedal ReviewsSweetwater Advice
Carson McClain
The name "Grunge" can be deceiving because I don't think I have ever heard this on any early '90s Seattle grunge recordings. Sure, this pedal adds grit and grime if you want it to but, if you are trying to define a new sound and add a meaner, bloodier, energy-charged face-punching tone to your rig, get this pedal. You need to try this pedal for yourself.
Customer Reviewsfrom January 17, 2012 Music Background: Musician, Guitarist, Recording artist Wide sound range, ease of use, overall greatWide sound range, ease of use, overall greatfrom Chicago, IL April 11, 2011 Alternative Rock best friend!Best Distortion pedal I have had yet!!! You really get that crunch effect, the sound that will blow you away. I would definitely recommend this product to those who play alternative rock music!!!!from Saint Augustine, FL USA October 12, 2008 Music Background: Student Must Have!This pedal is so easy to use and powerful, that just by ajusting the high and low distotion settings about half-way, And ajusting the grunge setting all the way, I was able to duplicate the sound of Metallica's "Sad But True".from Bismarck, ND USA April 3, 2007 Music Background: Hobbyist, music lover This pedal rocks!!This pedal has been one of the best additions to my arsenal. I play a lot of heavy hard hitting stuff, and this pedal gives me the sound I love. The only problem I have found is that the power adapter is pretty poor.from Pearl City, HI USA March 6, 2007 Music Background: Hobbyist, musician. Awesome distortionI love this pedal! It puts out a load of distortion!!! For punk, alternative, and metal, The Grunge Pedal is a steal at this price. Unless you're looking for insane distortion for death/hardcore, the Grunge Pedal can satisfy.I am unhappy about one minor detail though. I also own a Digitech Phaser, and I must say this about both pedals... the battery adapter is built cheaply. I had a prong break in my Grunge, and the Phaser's one is getting a little loose. I recommend a PS200R adapter to avoid this problem, because I haven't had either pedal for 3 and 4 months and both are ready to go. from alliance ne December 14, 2008 i like itfor the price this thing wails it sure passed my expectations i went out side my usual brand witch is boss and im glad i did it fills my "heavy but not so heavy" sound the thing is built like a tank and the knobs feel good im sure you could injure something if you put it in a sock im pleased with my purchasefrom New Jersey USA October 9, 2008 Music Background: Student, Engineer. Pretty sweet.This pedal's been a pretty handy piece of equipment. If you're looking for some overall crunch to add to your guitar, this is a good buy. The "grunge" knob gives you a good control over how much crunch you're getting, and the bass, mid, and treble give you a pretty good handle over the tone. But if you're looking for alot of low end punch you might want to look else where.from USA September 15, 2008 Music Background: Recording Engineer and Musician A Great DistortionThis pedal is awesome you can get some pretty good metal tones out of this thing. I play alot of metallica and right of the box was able to match the tone up well to several songs. The name commonly throws people off because it clearly doesn't sound grungy at all. If you need heavy distortion that doesn't have an outrageously overloaded gain like most metal distortions this is the way to go. You can get a nice metal tone with clearer lows and clean up the muddiness.from February 23, 2012 Music Background: Artist/ Producer/ Songwriter engineer NeatI love Grungy sounds to blend with other pedals... I've not found myself using this pedal a whole lot over the last few years of having it... but as far as a harder distortion to maybe blend with a fuller sounding less less distortion pedal... you can get some nice sounds... it's a matter of taste, and what type of gear you use... I have a hollow Body 2 PRS through a dual rec Mesa and Mark 5 Mesa boogie... so I do enjoy some meat in my sound... I say for the price, this is a really good buy... but as far as over all... I only have this because this was one of the first Distortion analog pedals I had ever bought... it was on sale.. and an even better deal... I don't regret getting it at all, it does a good job... and for anyone who likes hard rock just under metal... you can dial in some cool stuff... Not my Number one favorite pedal, but worth having for sure.

from Taunton, MA USA March 6, 2006 pretty goodI really liked this pedal at first - don't get me wrong, it's a good solid HEAVY distortion pedal, but after awhile I started to get abit bored with it... for less distorted tones I prefer the BOSS DS-1, but then this pedal couldn't get heavy ENOUGH, so I traded it in on the Digitech Death Metal, which I am very happy playing. This pedal is kinda "in-between" the other two I mentioned, and... well, I just didn't need anything "in between". In and of itself, it's pretty good, but I just needed something else. One other thing - I have no idea why this is called "Grunge"... it sounds straight up metal to my ears. If you want a grunge sound, buy a Electro-Harmonix Big Muff. This pedal's good - that's it, just good.
