Feature:
the digitech metal master dosent come with any accesories but it dosent really need any. The only thing that would be nice if it came with it was an adapter. but the adapter isn't alot of cash to get so its not a very big deal. I love the morph option that this pedal gives me so i can have as much or as little distortion as i wish.

Quality:
in the time i've had the pedal i havent had any problems with it at all and i have used it a LOT, and it looks great to boot. its a really reliable pedal and its made of tough stuff, all metal and rubber on the bottom and on the pedal that you step on. the metal master seems amazingly durable and i think that with proper care this thing will be around forever.

Value:
i think the metal master is worth every penny

Desirability:
this is a very sexy little pedal its small and sleek with a sound that wont quit

Sound:
the digithech metal master allows me to use as much or as little distortion as i want and at every possible level of distortion i can use on this pedal im blown away at the crispness of the sound. i've heard some pedals before that with a high level of distortion every note sounds the same but not with the digitech metal master. it almost makes my playing sound smoother

Support:
i havent had any problems so i have not had to deal with the people of digitech at all. i tried to visit their site this morning but it was down, but these things happen so.

Overall:
this pedal looks, sounds, and has great preformance. not to mention its durability. I love everything about this pedal and i cant say a single thing bad about it.

Feature:
man the morph knob is the most insane thing ive ever seen on a pedal. one second im playing black sabbath, a second later im playing slipknot and korn, fully sick feature.

Quality:
hard as nails, this thing is made outta the tuff stuff. parts are all high quality and is suited fo on statge use as well. very strong case.

Value:
i payed 180 aus dollars for this pedal, insane value. match that to a boss pedal.

Desirability:
i cant stop looking at it! the damn things tight! very original, but at the same time, easy as to use.

Sound:
the sound is sick, i owned a digitech RP-50 multi FX pedal which is also good but didnt have the metal distortion sounds i was hoping, but this tank has the most awesome sound, it can be suited to every metal band if played with.

Support:
i havnt dealt with support but with a hammer like this why would u need to?!

Overall:
the best metal pedal in its price range, but personally, my fav. BUY IT NOW!

Overall:
Okay so I was in the market for a good Metal pedal because the distortion on my half stack just didn't cut it. I went to a local music store and tried tons including this one. I must say I was surprised with how well this one sounded. The Morph feature is really nice, there's one for every style of metal except Black Metal. (which it fine because I don't play much of that anyway) There's a perfect amount of low end and Just enough high end, there's no mid knob but I usually scoop the mids anyway. It's great for lead, It's great for rhythm, and it's great for metal. Buy or at least try this pedal, you won't be disappointed.

Feature:
Doesnt have a mid knob but who needs it. THe X morph is fricken awesome though. You can do any type of metal you want and can make this thing sound like the boss mt2 if you put the settings just right.

Quality:
this thing is pretty heavy and looks like it could survive a mosh pit

Value:
I actually got mine for 30 bucks at a pawn shop but i would buy this thing for 90 bucks if i had to

Desirability:
At first I walked into the music store looking to get a boss MT2 metal zone but as i was about to pay for it this pedal caught my eye and I needed to have it

Sound:
THis thing sounds awesome, and if you wanna hear what it actually sounds like then go to guitar center.com and kook it up, you wont be disapointed

Ease of Use:
Its as simple as any pedal ive used

Support:
Uhhhhhhhh I never need it, but Im sure zzounds has good custumer support

Overall:
If you like any type of metal then you would be a complete moron not to get this pedal

Feature:
the pedal came with a battery and a manual but i think it should of came with a power chord so you dont have to keep buying batteries.

Quality:
the quality is very good its made very well i have had it for over a year and it hasnt failed me yet.

Value:
its a good price for it but i wouldnt of paid much more for it.

Desirability:
it looks alright its just a pedal.

Sound:
the soun of the metal master is really good. you can go from metal to death metal with a turn of a knob.

Ease of Use:
its very easy to use you just turn a knob and stomp the pedal and you are good.

Support:
never had to deal with them.

Overall:
overall its a good pedal it sounds good and works good its VERY NICE.

Feature:
Pretty much fool-proof, level for volume, and an added extra goody, you can control how much bass and treble you want. This also has a WIDE range of metal distortion, that's why I bought it.

Quality:
Built like a tank, virtually indestructable. Mine has taking big drops that would make Danny Way weep and works like the day I bought it. Extremely low-maintenance

Value:
Well worth every penny. Perfect for all metalheads needs

Sound:
Why do I need to go on about the sound? It's pretty self-explanatory, made for METAL nothing else. It does have a wide range of sounds, from the classic metal tone ala Maiden to the warmest mid-range sounds to the darkest of the darkest distortion spewed forth from Hades itself.

Ease of Use:
Just stomp on it and ultra metal tone is yours

Support:
Never needed it, but if I do, I have the number.

Overall:
This thing will probably go to my grave with me. It's built that well.

Feature:
I absolutely love the X-series morph knob, it makes the pedal 7 pedals in one. That's fricken sweet!!

Quality:
Just like everything I've reviewed on zZounds.com, built like a fricken tank!

Value:
It was priced at a tenth of what it is actually worth:about 50$ if I remember correctly.

Desirability:
I love the color!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sound:
Awsome for 80s Heavy Metal like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden and even Thrash from the 90s and now. The sound is incredible! Metal or not you will love this thing.

Ease of Use:
Pretty easy.

Overall:
Overall it is just like all products you'll find on zZounds.com, the best damn pedals ever made!!!!!!

Feature:
wish it had a gain knob so then the gain would be more precise.

Quality:
made pretty well. i thought it was bigger before i saw it though.

Value:
its worth 80 dollars. this pedal is better than more of the higher end pedals.

Desirability:
since this pedal sounds good by itself i would desire it.

Sound:
this pedal sounds pretty good. i heard it on a cover video on youtube and i heard someone trying it out at the music store i go to.

Ease of Use:
its pretty easy to use just a little confusing at first to set it up.

Support:
never had to deal with support =)

Overall:
well in about a year or 2 once i get one ill probably keep it around till i hear something better.
