Feature:
Sadly, I can't give this pedal a ten when it comes to accessories because, well, it just doesn't have many. But seriously, this pedal doesn't need anything more than what it has. You know, keep it simple. As far as the features that it does have, though, they're flawless.

Quality:
This thing is built like a tank. Nothing about it is cheap. I can see this pedal being with me for a very, very long time.

Value:
This pedal is worth ten times more than what you'll pay for it at a typical music store.

Desirability:
What can't you like about this pedal. It's so simple, yet so sleek and well built.

Sound:
This pedal is extreme. It fits my playing style perfectly. It has, by far, the meanest, nastiest distortion of any pedal I've used. I like to play heavy metal like Metallica, Pantera, Lamb of God, you know, that kind of music. And I'm here to tell you, this type of music sounds freakin' scary on this pedal. It's the best, period.

Overall:
I don't think this pedal will ever get boring. It's just so much fun to take your favorite song and put the freakiest twist of your life on it.

Feature:
the petal comes with it all. you could connect up your guitar, amp, and a mixer up at the same time.

Quality:
man this petal will last you forever. it is made of metal and every part of it is well fitted and out of the way. for example you could press the petal without having the fear of hitting the switches. the petal is also compact and is about the sise of your hand and could fit in your pocket

Value:
ya its very good for the price and the good thing about it is that if you dont like it you dont have that guilt feelin that you spent like 250 on it

Desirability:
this thing will make your music sound more professional for even the most somplest stuff you play.

Sound:
it is a good good heavy sond with a multible setting for the distortion. if you set it right you could one note or chord for almost 30 seconds. if you are in heavy sounds and death metal this is the right petal for you.

Support:
i dont know, i have not had a problem yet

Overall:
ya its good if your in heavy death metal sounds

Feature:
It came with the niftiest little booklet, detailing how to get some good tones out of it instantly. Their presets are actually very nice, which is pretty rare in the world of music. It would have been nice if it had come with an A/C adapter, but hey. Your average 9V battery lasts quite a while in this little beauty.

Quality:
Built like a brick. I couldn't believe how much this thing weighed when I first got it. The only things on it that aren't metal are the knobs.

Value:
When compared to seventy to a hundred dollar Boss distortion pedals, this one sits quite nicely, but then you've got Danelectros that cost fifteen bucks. That being said, this is probably the dopest pedal that you can get in it's pricerange. I dropped the fifty on it, and there has not been once that I have regretted that.

Desirability:
Well, it's black and has blood on it. I'd hit that.

Sound:
So far, this pedal has turned every amp and guitar I have used with it into a destructive powerhouse of metal tone. You can actually do a fairly versatile range of distorted tones with it. With a few minutes of messing around with the controls, you can go from thrash metal to industrial rock. The only distorted tone I can't get on this is a good trashy punk sound. But, if you play punk, I don't know what would possess you to buy a "Death Metal" pedal.

Ease of Use:
If you use a lot of pinch harmonics, this is the pedal for you. Even a fairly weak pincher like myself can sound pretty amazing when playing through this. It should be noted, however, that unless you are looking for a black metal shriek or for nothing but solos, you MUST TUNE DOWN. I find that standard C yields a nice, evil, chunky sound. With this pedal, the more drastically you tune down, the more crazy-cool it will sound.

Overall:
If extreme distortion is your thing, this is pretty much the best product out there short of rack-mounted effects. Go for it!

Feature:
It's a distortion pedal. It also has three eq nobs and has a connection for a mixer/recording device which is useful. Obviuosly it has a amp input. IT gets an 8 for the recording/mixer input.

Quality:
Well it is built of metal and probobly wont break unless you try to break it.

Value:
It is good value and for the price it is amazing.

Desirability:
IT's all black with red letters that don'e look like they were typped on and say death metal.

Sound:
This distortion is not going to be top notch quality because it is only $50. But that does not mean it is not good. THey really mean it whent they say they ripped the distortion nob off at eleven. THis pedal has only one distortion setting and if you are looking for something to play metal with and don't want to spend a lot this is just perfect. You can play thrash, metalcore, grunge, just about any style of hard rock and metal.

Ease of Use:
How can it be hard to use?

Support:
Never had any problems with this product so I do not know.

Overall:
This is amazing. IT is just a straight forward pedal no two direction turning on a nob but thatis also kinda bad if you're looking for tone control but the pedal is still amazing.

Sound:
shouldn't change the sound

Support:
didn;t need any help but they offer a warrenty, in my mind that is the best support

Feature:
Sick!!! The dedicated mixer output makes running through Pa SO much easier...

Quality:
So Far it has taken Heavy Abuse... I have only had it two days...

Value:
Great Bang for the Buck... Great deal... No need to save up for those big processors... When you can get better for a poor man;s budget...

Sound:
Face-Melting Distortion without sacrificing tone-clarity... AWESOME!!!!

Ease of Use:
This Fricken thing even gives you a booklet with sick Presets..

Support:
Have not had to deal with them... ( HOPEFULLY I WON'T)

Overall:
I own a Digitech RP50, A Boss Multi-Effects Processor, A DOD Grunge pedal and Boss Distortion Pedal. This one kicks the heck out of all of those. I bought it yesterday, Tonight I plugged it in and played through it with my Bronze B.C.Rich Warlock(Tuned to Drop B),and used my Ross 40 watt practice amp. Set the EQ on the "Knife's Edge" Setting and it offers Face-Melting Distortion Without sacrificing clarity. With most Distortion you can't hear note-changes. With the Digitech Death Metal pedal you can rock out loud without sounding like nothing but static...

Feature:
This pedal doesn't really need features. The only feature it has being able to define your distortion to get your own unique sound. Which is very good.

Quality:
It's simply amazing. I've threw it on the ground as hard as I could (an on-stage accident), I've jumped on it, and there's not a scrath or anything wrong with it. It's just like new and I've had it over a year. Another thing I like about this pedal is that I've havent yet had eletronic trouble with it other than having to buy a noise suppressor to keep the feedback down, but that's the case with every distortion pedal I've ever seen.

Value:
YES! YES! YES! It's MUCH cheaper to buy than any Boss distortion pedal, and sounds better too.

Desirability:
The look of the Death Metal goes along hand in hand with the name. Just looking at the pedal you can almost already feel your ears bleeding, and yet keeps the simple box-style set up thats easy to use live.

Sound:
Digitech has created the most extreme distortion i've ever heard with the Death Metal. It's got a good punchy bass, but also has an amazing highend treble, which is good for a lead player in a hard rock band. You can create so many different sounding distortions with it too. I've managed to get mine to do, Heavy Metal (of course), a more grunge style tone, fuzz, and its really good for solo's on a slower style song.

Ease of Use:
Just playing around with the low-high end ranges on the pedal is all you have to do to get this pedal to sound how you want it. It's the easiest pedal I've ever used.

Support:
I've always dealt with Digitech with my sound pedals, and I havent had a problem yet, so they get a 10.

Overall:
I WILL USE THE DIGITECH DEATH METAL DISTORTION FOREVER!!

Feature:
You basically have an EQ too.

Quality:
If you like to mess with the neighbors, you got to get this pedal, it's so cool when they can't take it anymore.

Value:
It's one of the cheapest distortions you can get on the market, only 49.99, minus the discount you can get at Guitar Center.

Desirability:
Even the color is so cool, dark black and red.

Sound:
The sound is so loud and clear, for true soloing and busting out!

Overall:
Just go out and buy it! You won't regret if you like to play loud.

Feature:
9 because where the f*** is the gain knob!!?

Quality:
10 because it's built like a f***ing tank!!!

Value:
I bought it for I think 60 or 70 bucks and I coudn't believe it after I tried it out because I would have payed hundreds

Desirability:
I love it because it is my two very favorite colors.

Sound:
I've tried Boss MT-2 Metal Zone, Digitech Grunge, Krank Distortus Maximus and many others and none could even touch the Death Metal. It's perfect for people who like extreme power metal but I only give it a nine on sound because if you go anywhere off the setting suggestions that are in the DigiTech catalog that comes with it then it sounds like s*** and that sucks for me because I usually have everything at 10 except mid-range and, the setting suggestions just aren't metal enough for me.

Ease of Use:
It is very easy to use because the knobs aren't so sensitive the if you touch them it goes from 0 to 100000 instantly

Support:
No support needed AT ALL

Overall:
Overall it is a KILLER F***ING BUY!!!!!!!!!!!
