Digitech Grunge Distortion Pedal Demo

[@JorgeLeitner]

Awesome demo man! Slayer and Dismember are some of my favorite grunge bands, haha!

[@SimonSmithGuitar]

+Jorge Leitner Smells Like Teen Spirit In Black......

[@amnesian4064]

not sure if you're trying to be funny, but your comment is hilarious

[@JorgeLeitner]

I was being sarcastic of course, haha.

[@fortheloveofnoise]

Six Feet Under's Haunted is the best grunge album ever.

[@hiddenintheshadows1469]

@@amnesian4064 no he was dead serious...... duh

[@mugginsdot]

This is a very cool pedal and the fact that it's all analog is an organic plus! It is definitely suited for metal

[@wiitech]

Best pedal out there. Very grunge, perfect for playing Pearl Jam's Jeremy until your parents kick you out of the house.

[@juliocucknubbin1489]

I'll have to disagree with you there. The DOD FX69 is has a fuller sound in my opinion. This is grunge, but not so great to play Pearl Jam.

[@pixieloco]

yeah, the digitech version its missing something. it sounds dull, lame and tamed compared to the DOD FX69. I have both, but I have no use for the digitech.

[@fortheloveofnoise]

They would kick me out first for singing so loudly.

[@danadane2501]

I'm so happy I bought one of these a few years back . Absolutely love the tone and sustain. Don't care it has a trendy name from 28 years ago .

[@skamo2765]

thank you. I was looking for some samples to start an electro-ized guitar beat type shit and you made my day. praise u

THE MOST UNDERRATE PEDAL.... The best GILMOUR distortion pedal tone in the planet even the revisited Cornish fuzz/dist.

[@user-cs5jl5ez6j]

Sounds more metal than most metal pedals iv heard in years fuck that I'm getting this

[@Dripfade]

That riff at 1:18 thru 1:22 ...? sounds so familiar ....i dig it.

[@jaredtoney1957]

Sounds like dragonball z

Best metal pedal I used in over 30 years playing metal! My MXR Fullbore never gets used because of this pedal :P

Where can I buy one

[@FretFriendGWaL]

@@bananaboat895 No longer made so you have to buy a used one: eBay is the best place...

[@dynamicmuff]

that was my first pedal, sold it years ago, bought a lot of Big Muff and other pedals, today I miss this pedal for my collection 🤣

[@braekvitravn7511]

im in love 😍 with that pedal

[@pbgrapejay1]

I have this pedal and it is the best. I've tried many different pedals over the past 30 years. At low grunge (setting 2) loud, low and high dialed in at half ( stright up and down) I get a perfect Angus Young sound.

[@DeathRocket4990]

Kind of reminds of Nirvana’s album “Bleach”

[@OGGOAT23]

While Kurt Cobain used a few different pedals over the years, there were four main pedals: a BOSS DS-2, an EHX Small Clone, an EHX Poly Chorus, and a Tech 21 Sansamp.

[@kvzh1982]

This is a fuckin' incredible sound! I must to buy it.

[@scriptpunx]

pokupai u menya

[@jacobhall1331]

This is the first pedal I ever bought way back in the day. I tested it vs other metal digitech pedals in my local guitar shopand I found it had a better low end than the others. Most metal pedals are all too much gain. I use this grunge for Pantera and Metallica, Korn and RATM.

[@REDSSARMY]

well i hear more metal than grunge with this pedal

[@StatsMass]

Grunge by definition grew out of metal and punk influence, so....

[@StatsMass]

But I agree, probably not the best for grunge type stuff

[@LuxeXx]

+KD | 93 could it be because he is doing all metal riffs?

[@DetroitMerxy]

+Ryan McKinney Kurt Cobain was known for using this pedal.

[@StatsMass]

Logan Collier I remember hearing the rumor that he was given one as a joke. But other than that, I doubt he would have used this pedal. Do you have any pictures or articles that might site this?

[@LicensedGuitarist2000]

I can definitely use this for playing early deftones music.

[@NatteRoll]

Tool Drop D notes...

[@OGbrundle]

so basically this is the ultimate black metal pedal

[@SimonSmithGuitar]

Yep.

[@OGbrundle]

Simon Smith would you be willing to do an in depth review on this pedal while playing something a little more, fast? tremelo maybe?

[@lionslicer9999]

I remember back when this pedal first came out a ton of metal bands used it. Definitely was mismarketted as 'grunge'

[@aquienpuedainteresar4188]

I dont know if this is the original from the 90s but I remember having one and their Death Metal one and this one was my favorite out of the two

[@gutlessband5825]

Awesome vid. Really like this sort of thing. Would love to see more. Keep it up.

[@prodmarcogoat]

marco was here.

[@FENDERCATUSA]

Good sounding on this demo nice job to the guy that did it. I have two DOD grunge pedals. This one sounds a bit edgy but, not bad at all. The DOD also sound a bit warmer to my ears. This is the first demo I heard of the digitech grunge and I like it.

[@KBXband]

I use rhis metal for thrash because its so sharp and with such crunch and high treble

[@picket4015]

I like to watch this video to remind me I don't need another pedal.

[@Sandarpan]

Actually the best part about this pedal back in the day was the speaker simulation

[@lodown505]

I own this paddle it's pretty damn cool it was the first pedal ever got

[@MrJJA714]

Me too

[@LuxeXx]

Has a good amount of sustain. Those suspended chords sound good too.

[@too--late]

One day I had no amp during a rehearsal, I plugged my Grunge (not this Digitech, but the good old DOD) on a bass amp, and by adjusting the equalization of the amp I got exactly the Swedish death metal sound ! Which is "normally" obtained with a Boss Heavy Metal HM-2.

[@jakeerbst4073]

I wonder if the fact that he’s using EMGs is a contributing factor to the “more metal than grunge” comments on here. I don’t disagree but I’ve got this pedal too and while I use it with the gain at around 9 o’clock I think it does fine for grunge distortion.

[@DaveViner]

I had one of these years ago, i loved it. Might have to scout eBay for one now...

[@hunivox]

Best grunge pedal imo

[@J__S_]

idk but i really like the sound without distortion too. how did u make this dark sound?

[@SimonSmithGuitar]

Just the amp

[@J__S_]

[@AntiZer0]

Lord Ivo Stop recommending your daily routine.

[@dylannightingale6959]

Because, this pedal is better for metal despite the name.

[@jonathantaylor33]

What’s the difference

[@Sandarpan]

It's like when I thought a Jim Dunlop Riffs pick was suited only for riff playing

[@scottadair4962]

If you're trying to sound like Andy Scott of The Sweet - this is your pedal. and I mean that in a serious way. This has Ballroom Blitz and Little Willy written all over it. I love it, actually!

[@horror_fam0847]

I have an old DOD death metal pedal Holy crap that is one hot distortion pedal turn it on the feedback just screams

[@JasonGonzales-g9s]

Never notice the Grunge pedal can Thrash!

[@TheMusicIsMyReason]

Sounds good! I got one of the original DODfx69 pedals when I first started playing guitar in the mid 90s. I wish I still had it. Nostalgia. Nice Slayer riffs! I might have to get one of these to play with!

[@generalskunk6876]

Is this like in utero kinda distortion? Because it's kinda like the effect they had on scentless apprentice

[@johnpickk7526]

Not exactly. Kurt used a Boss DS-2 and a Sansamp Distortion box for In Utero. On Scentless Apprentice, he used the Sansamp and a Polychorus for the double track effect. Although, Kurt used this pedal live for one show as a joke. :-)

[@MamasBasementEnt]

all distortion pedal demos should use dismember

[@SimonSmithGuitar]

[@cameronwhitemusic6]

What's the first riff

[@shitsirow4587]

This one is awesome! Great guitar player. I need advice on this one, how can I enjoy to use this pedal again and without having any noise from it, just the way you perfectly set it up? Thanks :)

[@banyarling]

Try a noise gate like Boss NS-2 or TC Sentry

[@burnerwurner8023]

What is that riff at 1:18 ?

[@John_Doe657]

The sound comming from this pedal dosn’t strike me as grunge. To my ears it sounds like a over-compressed distortion pedal like a Boss Metal Zone or something like that.

[@doendepistaschnot8417]

That was my impression of the pedal (never owned it, but when this series came out I played it in stores), but I think that the lead sound at around 4:15 are pretty good.

its an cool pedal, not really grunge tho. if u want an STP/Nirvana sound go with the DS-1 distortion

[@spark300c]

it not grunge because it does not mix clean with fuzz

[@metalslinger]

Sounds great for Metal. Grunge? Not so much. They should rename it.

[@abyad000]

If you don't have active emgs or simple humbuckers, you'll be able to use it as a fuzz pedal. It totally kills the low end, and if you turn up the low know it becomes muddy. You can find the sweet spot of the eq, but it's only good for a fuzz pedal. I wouldn't recomend buying it.

[@gamhazell]

Gilbert Botos you're saying it's good with humbuckers?

[@gamhazell]

Gilbert Botos in going to try it with my strat.

[@gamhazell]

Ok. What I'm noticing with the Digitech pedals is that they have an EQ issue. Both of the ones I have are too much in the highs. I literally turn the highs all the way off and the low almost all the way up to get a decent EQ.

[@newman1971]

I’ve never found a better pedal and I play death metal
