The best distortion pedal to play metallica songs is : the Boss MEtal Zone 2

I have this pedal and youcan trust me, with my LTD, I have a heavy sound ;)

It is a bit expensive (120 €) but you can be sur you will havbe a great sound ;)

I already know this pedal, but with that you can't do other things, just the distorsion, so I favourite something like a multieffect eheh

weird

my brother bought a few guitar pedals, and they always costed 200-300 (or more) euros... including a distortion, wah wah, ...

and he never used them :lol:

he also has an amp which has a distortion built in it... and it gives a pretty cool sound

a friend of mine has got a lot of ESP guitars...he plays in a band, but he told me he doesn't have any pedals or multieffect.
For him the best distorsion depends on wich amp do you have...so he uses the amp's distorsion only.

I've a Mesa Boogie amp, very good, and before the crash of my Zoomfire multieffect, I used to play the multieffect distorsion on the "clean" channel of the amp, with that I've incluse the noise gate, so a very good sound.
But finally the distorsion was from the multieffect, and the distorsion of the amp.

Now I'm thinking if is necessary to buy any multieffect... :unsure:

A mutlieffect costs a lot of money unfortunately and (I have one) youcan trust me, you will play with the effects just a couple of times and then you will just use 3 or 4 effects, so this is maybe not so necessary ;)

If you want to go for pure metal the MT2 is great pedal. For a wider range of sounds you could get the Boss OS2, which is a combined Overdrive/Distorsion pedal with a huge amount of different sounds to get out of it.

BTW, you can hear some sound previews on the online pedalboard on the official Boss site...
