I already own some of them: Electro Harmonix Tone Tattoo (MetalMuff+Delay) Electro Harmonix Big Muff Pi Electro Harmonix Holy Grail Plus (Reverb) Electro Harmonix Soul Preacher (Sustainer) Electro Harmonix SuperEgo TC Electronics Polytune TC Electronics NOVA System TC Electronics The Dreamscpae Ibanez TS 808 Tube Screamer DigiTech Distortion Factory DF-7 (which I dislike, because it sounds flatter than the others) At this moment I am sure about buying the MXR Smart Gate M-135 which is working really good from the tests I made and does not affect the sound as much as the Boss Noisegate. I also wonder which Distortion/Overdrive Pedals might be a good add on to give me some new colors to my pedalboard? I was thinking about: BOSS Mega Distortion BOSS Metal Zone (which is in the gearbag of Nickelback e.g., but I fear their sound depends much more on the Boogies they use) MXR 78 Custom Badass Distortion Himmelstrutz (any of them?) So what can some other pedaladdicts recommend me? Oh maybe not too unimportant: Black Stone Cherry, Daughtry, Nickelback, Pearl Jam (from the Alive album), Van Halen or Zakk Wylde have the sound I try to accomplish with my pedalcollection. Some of these sounds can already be recreated really well, some not. I know the sound of these guys is often dependant of their tunigs and their amps, but sometimes you can recreate these sounds with pedals really well. Ohh and I use a BlackStar amp!

It was cheap too....but sounded better than many other pedals I tried. Awesome eq as well. I highly suggest at least trying one. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I wouldn't call it a metal pedal - more of a lead guitarist tone if you need a boost and some edge to cut through the rhythm section. I've been pretty happy with it since I purchased it a few days ago. Chris You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

A nice Wah pedal ( wads to choose from just try several and see what you like) and maybe a Digitech Wammy Pedal (does wah/octave/harmonizer all in one pedal) would a good idea.
