i find overdrive usually nicer sounding than just distortion becuase i have an overdrive and distortion pedal on my fx board and i think my guv'nor marshall overdrive pedal sounds almost exact when im rok'n out to tallica tunez . so i think that a distortion pedal ' as it comes ' is just a extra thing to have :wacko:

I'm going to buy a multieffect for my guitar...for now I'm thinking about a Boss GT8, what's the best for you to play Metallica songs? B)
The MT-2 will not get you the sound you are looking for. Plain and simple: Nothing will unless you have about 250.000 Euros to spent. Check out Montys site for specifics...

Don't be fooled by know-it-alls, and the "vast experience they have". It's bull.
Good distortion comes from your tube-amp - cranked, not any single pedal.
But, a relatively low-cost "solution" to your quest for "good" distortion and effects would prolly be a Pod XT(Live) or a GT-8.

:D Crosby/Stills/Nash plays on Gt-8s and they're concerts sounds hella good.
I play on a Gt-8 while playing in clubs and such, but on the festival shows we've played through the years there've been better gear there to use.
The Gt-8 is a great effects pedal and i highly recommend it.
You can tune the effects as you want em. Get a good guitar and the Gt-8 and a good soundcard to the pc and you'll be able to do some nice recordings

I finally opted for a MT-2 pedal.
There was around 1, not new, but like new, for the middle price :P

The distorsion is very good!
I though about the GT-8, but the only problem is that finally I don't use all the effects usually, so...a MT-2 it's enough. B)

I will try record some things later...and maybe post them eheh
