Hey,

So, I need to buy a distortion pedal, and I mean like theres a lot to choose from. I want pedal that can do t all and produce many different tones. What I have been noticing is "Distortion" pedals have 3 controls.. I think its Tone, Drive, and Level. Where as the "Metal" pedals have a lot of different controls. For example: Mids, Lows, Highs, Drive, Tone.. All on one pedal. When they say "metal" pedal. does that mean that it is only meant for metal? Or other genres of music too?

When it says 'Metal' it's going to sound best with metal. You can use it with other styles but I've found they usually still have the 'metal' characteristics to the sound. I haven't looked for an all-in-one distortion pedal lately so I don't have any suggestions on which is best.
