Doom Metal Guitar Pedals

[@onerandombruh]

"Any Muff is a Good Muff" Man, truer words have never been said before... It's all about finding that sweet spot.

[@alphanumeric1529]

Had hopes for the Op Amp BM reissue from EHX (that orange BM fuzz), but I can't get it singing like the OG was capable of (does work well on bass though). Maybe I'm not doing it right, though, which is usually the case when I meet such frustrations. Man, there are so many little tricks, techniques, our elders would have called them "spells", little combinations of just the right settings, of the required devices, used in just the right way, and the Universe unzips, and miracles come forth, special sounds that resonate up and down the chorded octaves of our spirit. Sounds that are not achievable in any other way, but the narrow path. And if you don't know these spells, it takes a full greying of your beard to find just a few of these on your own through decades of penniless, fruitless combinations, following endless leadings to nothing but embarrassment, chasing countless rumors that are absurd and false, or seem surely false, but perhaps after all, if finally done in just the right way, in a way that is entirely non-obvious and counter-intuitive, you may find the truth at the heart of the rumor, and make a sound that is otherwise unobtainable, a sound that soars beyond the reach of what we’ve cursed as gravity. As counterfeits of counterfeits follow the same rumors in maddened haste, and in vanity, but not in truth, claim their dead sounds to be alive, scales thickening over their ears. Or, the more fortunate of these pretenders simply dismiss the rumor as false, as they've tried every way to exploit the rumor, but always ended in a barren, their fragile hope darkened, their light, less bright. And after how many such darkenings, endless dimmings, is their light finally extinguished in perpetuity, all rumors declared false, all hope lost, doom propagated and reached at the totality of its horizon? And in contrast, therein lies the Narrow Path, that amongst the doom that rains down seemingly supreme, those who can keep their light alive, in absurdly cursed, foolish hope, amidst the clobbering deluge that brings so many, even almost all, to eternal dissolution in the sinking depths, these strange few following their light to its home beyond the strict confines of the Rainbow Room, finding their dim light transfigured, now unfiltered, unrestrained, blazing forth from and to the One True Source and Destination of All LIGHT, the beauty of its realization far, far exceeding their mortal body's capacity to contain, and they are released, in freedom, into the Darkness of the Light, the Totality of All, EL, where they will, in turn, flicker and even shine, but never entirely darken, in the hopes of all subsequent true seekers who have or will forsake rationality and reason, departing unknowingly unprepared for the lonely rigor and eventual reward of the Narrow Path, where they too will Rejoin the Community of Light until all Darkness is extinguished and realized as Light.

[@josearjona3728]

My go to is the Acapulco Gold, pure nastiness

[@PearlJamaholic]

I like having a tape delay at the front of the signal. With each repeat getting darker, and having that run into a fuzz, that creates some cool sounds. It can get into pure noise territory if not careful, but oh well.

[@SonOfSodium]

I always see phasers get love, but flangers or rotary univibe stuff sounds awesome on a doom board

[@wuls666]

Oh yes, univibe style sounds cool on everything...

[@andreasflierl9987]

For Doom/Ambient I use a Life Pedal-Clone, an OBNE Darkstar, an OBNE Sunlight and a microcosm from Hologram Electronics.

[@rk28984]

1- Boss OS2 (very underrated OD/Distortion with a lot of volume boost. My settings: full volume, rest set around 9 o'clock) 2- Fender Full Moon Distortion (affordable and yet very unique sounding distortion with a low pass filter and a secret fuzz like setting, always stays dynamic and has no bad setting althoug a bit more gain would be nice) 3- GCI Brutalist Jr (super affordable as a DIY kit, it's also Kurt Ballous business card, based on a Providence distortion box) 4- Earthquaker Devices Acapulco Gold (supposedly a Sunn Model T power amp distortion in a pedal) 5- Blackout Effectors Blunderbuzz Fuzz (no longer in production, a hybrid Distrotion/Fuzz box, can sound very Melvins like and has a built in noise gate, so it's super quiet when you stop playing) Other cool pedals: Marshall Jackhammer JH-1, Earthquaker Devices Plumes, Proco Rat, any EHX Muff pedal, DOD Boneshaker, Lone Wolf Audio - Left Hand Wrath. Owned or used all of those pedals, and they sound stellar! But if you want to only check one out try the Fender FMD, it needs some more love!

[@daveronhertpark7134]

Is the Acapulco Gold good? I'm looking for a fuzz and an overdrive pedal to use with a RAT. Or should I get a Russian Muff?

[@rk28984]

@@daveronhertpark7134 The Acapulco Gold is a very special approche to distortion. It's not really a fuzz. It's super loud and you have no tone knob to change how it sounds. It doesn't sound that great into a distortion channel but into a clean amp it can be very cool and it cleans up very nice if you use your guitars volume knob. I also have a Russian Muff reissue, it's a nice pedal but sound very different. I would only use the Russioan muff for recording to add some tracks (like quad tracking) and not as my main distortion. The Rat is an all around great pedal and I think the most versitily of the three you mentioned. You can never go wrong with a Rat in my opinion. If you want to check out the Acapulco Gold, I have some clips uploaded on my channel. ;) Or check out the demos by Lewis Texidor, Shred Shed Studios or Stay Metal Ray.

[@Stagyar-Zil-Doggo]

Guitar->Tuner->Fuzz->Wah->OD->RAT->Phaser->Delay->Amp. I have one dirt pedal before the wah because I love the drama that the massive sweep gives me. Having said that, I don't always want it to be that extreme, so most of my other OD/Distortions go after the wah. This way I have the best of both worlds.

Quick question, I’m what application do you use the blues driver? I have one that just sits and would love to incorporate it

[@666highjinx4]

Here’s a pretty specific piece of advice to try for certain doom metal vibes. I always ran my wah pedal into my fuzz but I tried it the other way around one day and I’ve never gone back, the way it effects the fuzzed out frequency of a Russian big muff into my wah is incredible. It’s that psychedelic doom tone I’ve been searching for. Sounds like a dirty moog synth in a way

[@Louzahsol]

Ive always run my vox wah after the fuzz because it just sounds way nastier

[@666highjinx4]

[@TheTabledrumsolo]

I feel like the fuzz 1 mode of the hyperfuzz is underrated. I personally prefer it over the fuzz 2 mode. Don’t hear a lot of people talking about it

Tbh both are amazing, i fucking love this pedal, its a beast!

[@WizardinBlack3]

Mode 1 sounds great if you wanna play grungy stuff like The Smashing Pumpkins.

[@CLaw-tb5gg]

I literally never use mode 2. It's way too thin and scooped. And people play in mode 2 AND turn up the bass and treble.. madness.

[@flotenn3351]

SF300 (in 1.5 setting) -> Marshall RG-1 (Regenerator, it has Chorus, Flanger, Phaser and a Uni-Vibe mode) -> Marshall Echohead (multiple delay types). Very versatile, good sound and you can get these for about 150 bucks total. This would be the setup I'd recommend to every doom-newbie to try out. DBA Fuzz War and EQD Acapulco are great pedals, too, but each costs more than the three I mentioned before..

[@rodrigoxnevesx]

Great video! Awesome to hear the differences between different dirt pedals, specially for doom music. My favorite is the rat, I like how I can play slow riffs with a big and fuzzy sound and also play fast parts without loosing too much clarity

I think phasers are a really cool pedal/effect for doom. I think the EHX Freeze is cool too. EQD Plumes into Hizumitas is the heaviest sound I've been able to make with my gear. I love those two together. Thanks for the new vid, Jason!

[@AbnerAgogo]

Opened for John Spencer Blues Explosion several times, but only saw Pussy Galore once- nothing comes close to Pussy Galore. JSBE was great, but Pussy Galore was like watching God get blown to bits by a bomb onstage. Almost no comparison. Mind Blowing.

[@nothingislogical]

Harmonic Percolators are amazing. I run a Vaderin HP-X into my Orange Tiny Terror and it kind of reminds me of Buzz Osbourne's tone on "The Bit". It's got this thing where it's got the harmonic clarity of a Big Muff but the nastiness of something like a fuzz face that makes it perfect for doom/sludge.

[@paulie555]

Great video testing all the pedals out man. I just bought a Behringer SF300 and it seems like fuzz 2 is closest I can get to that "Dopethrone" sounds haha. Would love to grab that FU2.. it sounded pretty sick 🤘🏻

My pedalboard order (constantly changing mind you lmao) Dunlop Wah > Holy Grail Max Reverb > Phase 90 > MXR Univibe > Boss EQ > Fuzz Face > Proco Rat > Blues Driver > Big Muff > DD5 delay which splits off into a tremolo in each output, one goes into a fender champion 100 (FX loop: boss chorus, joyo flange, nux tape delay and behringer reverb) and a fender mustang amp Some days I'll switch the order of the drive pedals for different tones and different ways to play with sound but mostly I'll keep the big muff at the front of them all cuz it's the loudest one I got along with the rat

[@GrindhausHerratik]

Octave>wah>mods>volume>delay> OD>Fuzz/dist>Amp lead channel with low gain settings>fx loop send>noise gate>reverb>fx loop return I find a didgital delay after the gain sounds too synthetic, so I “analogise” it up front and it feels more like part of my playing as opposed to a digital echo. I usually use the fuzz/distortion as a boost for the Amps gain channel in attempt to apply the pedal characteristics to the amp distortion without over saturating the tone

Great video Jason. I don’t play doom but I make my own pedals thanks to one of your videos. My current pedal board is an optical compressor, Low gain OD, and a chorus. I’ve been working on designing a boost that targets harmonics. What I’ve got on my breadboard now doesn’t accomplish what I’m hearing in my head but I think it has promise. Anyway I wouldn’t be doing any of this without your videos so just want to say thanks.

[@mikerauter1859]

Hey Jason love your channel. For me the 4 pedals are 1. The DOD fx33 Buzz Box. 2.The Boss Metal zone with their suggested fuzz setting into the FX loop. 3. Vintage White face RAT with TS9 clean setting as a pre boost, and 4. Rocktek distortion for a treble focused (unintentional) fuzz which is great for black crust/metal.

As far as pedal board order I have mine as follows Guitar - Dunlop JP sig wah - Mr. Black Shepards End flanger - MXR Phase 95 - Lovepedal Eternity (an unbuffered Tubescreamer) - Demonic Machines $50 Fuzz - BAT Coven - Maestro Comet Chorus - Boss Tu-3 - amp - effects loop send - Keeley Caverns - effects loop return. Straight up, if you love fuzz pedals that need a high impedance signal and don't play well with any sort of buffered signals I highly recommend get a TS type pedal like the Eternity, Son of Screamer, BAT Witchburner (or any other that I don't know about) that have the input and output buffers removed from them. They send out a high impedance signal that plays really well with both my $50 fuzz and BAT Black Forrest, which both fall all to shit with a buffered signal.

I switch between the Hizumitas fuzz w/ clean boost, Rat w/ clean boost, Rat/Model T depending on which kind of distortion I want. It covers all the bases. I had to have the Hizumitas and the Nux Tape Core for that Boris combo of Elk BM/space echo for the ethereal stuff.

FZ-2, RAT and HM-2 are best sounding doom pedals to me. I used to love Muff style pedals, but they sound too modern and fizzy to me recently.

[@jeremiahbayani184]

I used to do the "right" pedal order and it was good and all. One night, I got bored with my sound and changes things around. I now have analog delay first into reverb into fuzz into BD-2 with gain around noon into a compressor into a DD-3. My amp is set into almost breakup and with this setup I have several gain stages: natural OD if I dig hard, a good crunch with the BD-2 on...then when I step into my fuzz with the BD-2 on it sounds like a somewhat tamed fuzz (very crackly but not wild), when I turn off the BD-2 and leave the fuzz it opens up the fuzz sound. When I turn on the reverb which is before the fuzz, that's another wild high gain sound...also if I turn on the compressor with any or all dirt/OD pedals all it is another color of dirt

[@orangebangmang]

Phaser - Mr. Black Gilamondo Big Muff style fuzz - Black Arts Toneworks Pharaoh Reverb - Mr. Black Bloodmoon Gnarly fuzz - Mountainking Megalith

[@EricFaries]

My pedalboard order is a bit fun. Firstly is my tuner, cause why not. Second is my Messner overdrive pedal. That then goes into the EHX Tri Parallel Mixer, which i use to blend together 3 fuzz pedals. The Does It Doom Fuzzcoven, the Fuzzrocious Demon, and a good old Big Muff Pi Nano. From there it goes out the mixer into a Boss Space Echo pedal, then into an Azor Vintage Phaser for when i wanna do weird shit. Last is a Joyo Sweet Baby overdrive, which is use mainly as a clean volume boost for solos.

[@rickileesinn3944]

Cry Baby > Green Screamer > Swollen Pickle > Rat > Heavy Menace > Tuner > Tape Echo (this normally goes into amp, however, as a backup amp on my pedal board I also have an Orange Getaway Driver used as an Amp-In-A-Box through a DI Box. If my amp fails me, I can quickly remove the instrument cord from the tape echo and patch the tape echo into the Getaway Driver and plug the DI Box right into the PA, and we're back in business.)

My 4 dirt pedals I use for Doom are FE Drone Master, FE FU-2, EQD Hizumitas, and FE Void Master. I will throw in 4 more pedals that I love using for Doom; Sonic Terror Cabs' Sonic Doom, BAT Quantum Mystic, FE Troglodyte, and FE Dark Master. To get the Conan sound and a sludgy doom sound I am liking is putting my Boss HM-2W before FE Void Master or FE Troglodyte. I change things around constantly for whatever sound I am in the mood to hear and jam to. I also have the NYC BMP and BAT Crown of Horns that I will use for Doom, but the EQD Hizumitas does the job of both and then some.

Black Arts Toneworks Pharoah in front of a choke/depth modded Yamaha T100 on the gain channel. Pharoah on GE, high, tone at 0 and highs at max. Sometimes throw a Walrus Iron Horse v3 in there as a “clean” boost into the Pharoah for more splat. The HM2 is also more usable than people think in the doom world. Bass between noon-max and mids at noon-2 o’clock, I like to have the mids set to riiiight before it starts to do the grindy thing.

[@scottsterner4091]

[@compucorder64]

Like @josearjon3728 said, Acapulco Gold is a great one. With Rats, I prefer the Turbo. TC Magus Pro is my choice, because it gives you three variations, normal, fat & turbo. My preferred Muff is the Green Russian. But Metal Muff can be nice too, because of the EQ and noise gate. My chain is Guild Polara Deluxe->PolyTune->Hyperluminal (Comp)->Earthquaker Plumes (TS)->GreenRussian(Muff)->QueeQeeg2(Oct)->MagusPro(RAT)->BluesDriver(OD)->TC SCF+(Mod)->Rubberneck(BBD)->Surfybear(Spring)->->DelVerb(TapeEcho/Hall)->Marshall JTM+Creamback stack for Dry fx+Spring & Vox AC30 pair in stereo for wet stereo fx. If I'm doing more ambient/drone, I add in Chase Bliss Mood mk..II, and Walrus Sloer or MercuryX. Very happy with the setup, but would like to experiment with adding a phaser, maybe even a stereo one, and something that does octave up like the Mandrake. Because the Earthquaker Life shows that combining that RAT, Muff with an Octave up pedal can sound amazing.

I'm an amp gain guy mostly but the pedal that is essential for doom is a TC integrated pre type pedal. The djenty boys may have shoved it into their niche but you don't have to use the meshuggah setting.

Just added earthquake Acapulco gold 1st (which is killer) 2nd is the hypercoven from does it doom 3rd 8s "Surya" from frost giant electronics followed by a doomcaster by does it doom. That's just what I'm running up front for my main sound

[@Drust49]

my little setup view I'm in an orange micro dark apartment with a 1x12 cab with a greenback pedals I have the SF300 (it was my first fuzz 6 months ago to test) a tube screamer a mini Russian muff a metal muff and the fuzzly bear 2 (with which I pick up Eastern European radio when I push it all the way) a blue mxr eq6, I'm considering taking the Acapulco gold and the KATZENKNIG fuzz in the absence of your typical pedals preamp because bringing it to France will be too expensive

[@rurlyok]

i dont play doom but my pedal board and tone is pretty doom inspired my chain is set up like; boss tu-2 tuner -> clean boost -> hm-2 clone -> phase90 -> boss dd-3. pretty much 100% of the time, if needed i might change out the hm2 for a different fuzz, mainly i love my dba fuzz war, which i would love to hear in a doom setting (i dont think i have). and if i want some wah ill stick it between my boost and fuzz pedals. cheers from detroit

Was not expecting so much JSBX content when I clicked on this. Let's all hope Judah Bauer is ok, what a brilliant, unsung guitar player.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

he is so amazing!

[@HighOnFire1997]

That orchid riff you played on the Rat. Caught me off guard cuz they are one of my favourite stoner/doom bands

[@EasyHeat]

That Purple aluminum necked Peavey guitar is just wicked rad AF dude! I'm currently using a Catalinbread GIYGAS fuzz into a Victory "The Jack" V4 preamp direct to interface and absolutely LOVE it!! Best apartment friendly hybrid rig of DooM I've ever put together in recent history! Great video amigo!

[@chrisswan1170]

One of the guys in Obituary uses the rat through the front of a Marshall solid state and it sounds like an absolute beast!

[@sons.moon.leather]

The four I like to use together are the Boss ODB-3 Bass Overdrive, Red Panda Context Reverb, MXR Carbon Copy Delay, and DOD Meatbox reissue into a Sunn Beta Lead combo.

[@jedmarsillo]

I just built a 4 pedal doom board. Way Huge Atreides, KMA Pylon, Redwitch Empress Chorus, Fuzzlord Dark Master. All built around a Hilbish Design Beta 200. I love it 🤘

[@taknothing4896]

I mostly use a Korg KP3 on "decimator" setting, pushed to the extreme it'll take. Sounds much like Drone Master. Gnarly.

[@nvjohansson9741]

I just bought a Behringer Heavy Metal. lt sounds exactly like the Boss heavy metal I sold 30 years ago for 50 bucks. Yeah, that still hurts when I think about it.

[@matthewthompson1942]

BAT sarcophagus and the walrus audio ages into an or15 for drive. EQD Grandorbiter and the EQD space spiral for weird sounds. I also use the Boss dd6 interchangeably with the space spiral

[@ltxr9973]

I always liked the MXR Distortion+ as a boost for doom. Deep, "full range" sound but not fuzz territory. Great pedal when it's more doom metal than stoner rock. Otherwise it might not be chaotic enough. And I must be cursed when it comes to the proco rat. All these players get great tones out of it but when I plug into one it never feels or sounds right. The mid control seems like a great addition to a muff style pedal. And you're right, the HM2 works great as well. I always used it for Death Metal with exactly the settings you would think but with less extreme settings it's a great fuzz pedal. I woud turn the drive way down for this but I guess the important part is not turning the treble up so high that you get that buzzsaw resonance thing that it typical for the swedish death metal tone.

[@roberttower8059]

It's not very exciting, but EQ pedals can radically transform tone, especially if you move it around in the chain to find where it works best

[@FuzzlordEffects]

So true Robert!!! I wish I started using them many years ago because they are such an amazing way to find tune ANY pedal and tone 🖤

[@hallamalla98]

I've been moving around the pedals a bit, mainly changing the "main distortion" and using the others as an EQ or pre amp. Anyways here it is. Marshall Jackhammer JH-1 to a Behringer HM300 to a Behringer UM300 to a SubZero Forge Metal to a Behringer SF300 to a Behringer UC200 to a TC Electronics Thunderstorm Flanger. Yeah, I'm cheap. But I honestly don't see the problem with Behringers, I've heard people say they broke it after just a few days and stuff, like do you guys really stomp on them that much?

[@MrGREYMATTERS]

You pretty much described my setup, except that I have been putting my clean boost at the end of the chain. I will follow your suggestion and place it up front. I use a MADE IN JAPAN HM2 as well as EQ Devices LIFE PEDAL (got the RAT and BIG MUFF covered with THAT along with a CLEAN BOOST), then EQ DEvices AVALANCHE RUN and TRANSMISSER. 🙂

[@duaneanderson6393]

earthquaker Sunn-o))) Life Pedal v-3 , Bogner Uberschall , Earthquaker Acapulco Gold , Behringer sf 300 Super Fuzz, Behringer HM300 Heavy Metal Digitech Freq-out Pedal

[@seanlanusse932]

Surprised no one mentioned delay or pitch shifters. You can boost and fuzz out all you want but you gotta dddrrraaagggg it out.

[@frantisekvtelensky820]

Fuzzes :) DOD - Carcosa (you can use it as a standalone pedal or boosted by another drive pedal or even as a booster/treble booster to boost another fuzz or your amp), ZVex - Fuzz Factory vertical (this pedal can do everything incl. animal sounds lmao), Death By Audio - Fuzz War, Electronic Orange - Pig Hoof (very highly rated take on Ram's Head muff)

[@ThePowerman121]

If you’re on a budget, the Moen Moo fuzz, behringer tube amp modeler, and the Joyo 6 band EQ are good together.

[@Screwhead]

I just got a Joyo Splinter a couple weeks ago; $40 Fat Rat clone! Sounds GREAT!

[@FuzzlordEffects]

hell yeah!

[@baileywatts1304]

Marshall Edward Compressor -> EQD Organizer -> Super Chorus -> Fet120 admittedly I aim to have a more 'lau nau with some dirt' sound than an 'electric wizard' type of sound. if I was going for a more classic desert type of sound I'd go wooly mammoth into a wah into fet120, no fourth pedal

[@agrojim1975]

Got a Pitch Fork, a Rat, an OpAmp Muff and a DS-2. They will never leave my board.

[@joeydanielski962]

the black muff was the first pedal I ever bought, it's still my main squeeze. I use a dynacomp into the Russian muff into a vox wah that runs into a an old school stereo memory man. I've got a couple big old Traynor combos that a have a large bass response and I dime the reverb. Love my set-up and it's been the same for years. great video man, I always learn lots.
