The dirty, thrashing, squalling power of the legendary original.

It's been a top seller for over a decade. Not buzzy like other metal pedals. Includes Loud (level), Low, High, and Grunge (distortion) controls, as well as an amp output and dedicated mixer output with cabinet emulation circuitry.

DigiTech Grunge Distortion Guitar Effects Pedal Features:

• High, Low, Loud (level), and Grunge (gain) controls

Way Better than the Death Metal

I bought this pedal after I bought the Death Metal Distortion and I'm still satisfied with this pedal. I recently bought the MXR Fullbore Metal pedal, but I still come back to this one for a good chunk mixed in. A very Decent Buy

I recently bought this pedal for my bass guitar since I wanted to have some distortion on it. This gives it the type of messy/dirty distortion I was looking for. Compared to just regular distortion, this pedal definitely takes it to another level for those who are long time fans of punk and grunge and love the sound from those two genres. Don't be afraid to try out pedals on a bass even if the pedal doesn't say BASS on it, have fun with trying new stuff out, you never know what you will find!

I bought this pedal a few weeks ago, at the time, i didn't know everything this pedal can do because there aren't very good reviews of this pedal, or at least a complete demo sound. All i knew was that this is for "Grunge" and it is not only for that, this is a perfect combination of a Ds-1, you can get the Hot tone of the Ds-2 and some overdrive, heavy metal as well. I compare it with the MT-2 but more gained.

Amazing quality sound and price, i prefer this than a Ds-1 or Ds-2, it has more gain than any pedal (yes, more than the Boss Mt-2 Metal Zone) i play Hard Rock (also: Alternative Rock, Punk Rock, Heavy Metal) and the "Grunge(gain)" control is at 1. I recomend the pedal for real ROCK players, perfect for solos, connect it at the "Mixer" output wich is less trebeled than the "amp" one.

This is a great distortion for the price. Very versitile. Good lows, the highs can be a bit much past the 1 o'clock point. If you don't wanna drop the cash on a boss metal zone, pick this up, you won't be disapointed. I would recommend this pedal for someone who wanted a cheap distortion pedal that will last them forever.

I bought this pedal from the sigler music store and I'd it has the best distortion and tone of any pedals iv'e ever played or messed around with. It has many different options and it's pretty cheap. I've only had problems with getting too much feedback while i stop playing but that's fixable.It also sounds great through my line6 flextone 60w amp.. All in all it's a great pedal, buy it if you're wanting that great metal sound or rock distortion.
