5.0 out of 5 stars SICK, January 3, 2006

Section 8 (U.S.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: DigiTech DGR Grunge Analog-Distortion Pedal (Electronics)

This is by far the bast distortion pedal I've ever owned. It's better than pedals I've owned/used that cost more than twice as much like the Boss MT-2 metal zone (which is still a great pedal,just overpriced)
Produces a really wide range of tones - I can get a warm blues-like distortion w/ the dials turned all the way down all the way to a ridiculous anthrax-like metal sound when I crank it all the way up.
It shouldn't really be named "Grunge" - you can get almost any distortion sound by playing w/ the levels.
I can get the sickest distortion sound outta this thing - crunchy,raw and hard but still crystal clear. For playing stuff like Metallica, it's perfect.
It's extremely durable, no cheap plastic housing...I stomp on this thing everyday - HARD. The only negative I found was it absolutely loves batteries - it eats them up like candy. It'll eat a whole brand-new battery overnight if you leave the input cable plugged in. I bought a danelectro a/c adapter for 9 bucks and that took care of that problem.
You cannot go wrong w/ this pedal - especially for 40 bucks, it's worth twice that amount. I dont really know why they decided to give this thing away, but its all good by me.

I had been playing guitar for about two years when I realized that my dinky amp didn't quite give the power that I wanted. A friend suggested that I buy a distortion pedal - as they had found themselves in the same situation and found the perfect solution. So, I looked around for a long time, and finally decided on this. Boy did I make a good choice.

First of all it's cheap. Second, you can get some SWEET sounds out of this. You can get some soft, snarly sounds with the dials cranked down, but when you need a boost, just turn it up and it will throw out some INSANE sounds. Third, the product itself is good quality; it's heavy, durable, and doesn't slide around. This will definitely hold up to the expected abuse.

This pedal really is amazing. I am extremely pleased with what I got, and would recommend it 100% to anybody who wants to give their guitar a boost.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Professional HEAVY METAL pedal but a professional pedal in quality, overall, March 6, 2008

I would like to counter "D.C. gibsonplayer" 's review by saying that this is perfect for a beginner and even a professional. It's no Zakk Wylde or Professional Heavy Metal pedal, but It's still good. It's better at least than the cheap distortion pedals you can find for $15 at Target.

It's got excellent effects and I find myself creating guitar effects (that replicate Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine's playing) more than playing actual songs. You just have to mess around with it and keep using different combinations with the 4 control knobs to create great effects.

Also, one should be aware that feedback obtained by this pedal can be very loud and can hurt your ears if you put the "Level/Loud knob" on full blast while your guitar and guitar amp volume are high.

BUY THIS!!!
