Loads of settings and obviously 7 pedal modes to choose from as well, however, for my purpose in the band a heavy high gain setting is whats required! I didnt get a manual with it so I was using mode 6 with all the settings pretty much at centre, this was a great setting, real clarity to the sound but at the same time delivering tight bottom end and (if this makes sense) a really clean distortion! Does anyone else have this pedal, and can you recomend some other settings I could try out as well? what do you think about this as a distortion pedal, anything better out there?

I have had a listen to one though and it is quite nice and very versatile, reminds me of my Boss ME 50 with all the different distortions. The best metal pedal I have heard by far is the new Digitech Hardwire TL-2 Metal Distortion. I own the Jekyll and Hyde and the Metal Muff and the TL-2 just smokes these I have to say.

So I traded it in for a EHX Metal Muff. But i sold that, too. I have to say, my new Red Witch Fuzz God 2 is the best pedal I've owned. Its truely demonic. For settings, I preferred to use either the 5th or 7th model, and I can't my eq settings though. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Man I'm using it with a 212 cabinet and it's pushing SO MUCH air!!! I'm loving it. My favorite setting is this below LOW = CRANKED LEVEL = MATCHED TO THE AMPS CLEAN VOLUME MID = 10 O' CLOCK MID FREQ. = 2 O' CLOCK HIGH = 2 O' CLOCK GAIN = CRANKED MODEL = 5 my guitar has it's tone at about 6 and my amp has one tone knob because simplicity RULES and it's cranked. This sound just is massive. I LOVE the mid frequency knob so much. It's the most amazing thing for creating great metal or hardcore tones cuz you can scoop out the higher mids and still have power in your tone. People always over look their midrange and just rip it out. they should realize that that's where the guitar is. Guitar is a mid range instrument anyway. Hope you dig this tone. My favorite models are 1,2,3,4,5,6,7...........Oh wait a second EDIT: heres da manual>>>> ftp://ftp.digitech.com/pub/PDFs/Manuals/X...F7%20Manual.pdf You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
