Dragonfly FX BM-1 Black Metal Distortion Pedal Demo

[@thalesb1324]

First black metal pedal review i saw that the dude actually plays black metal. Thanks for that!

[@humantacos9800]

The black metal tone is best captured, not with a pedal, but with a Crate Combo amp, busted speaker, and a Radio Shack microphone spaced 6 inches from said broken speaker.

[@Gorlung]

don't forget to add raven's poops..

[@derunsympath]

wrong in norway they used full marshall stacks played in a bunker with a high end microphone placed 4 inches from the ventilation shaft up on the roof. this was then played back into the bathroom of said bunker then recorded with super 8 and transferred back to audio by recording the tv.

[@VioletDeliriums]

HAHAHAHAH!!!!

[@thevoxofreason8468]

Black metal pedal? This sounds like my tube amps driven hard. I think this pedal is way more versatile than the name implies. Sounds fantastic.

[@archloy]

Yes. It seems to be a restyling or complete mod of the artec soloist distortion (I can't compare them, but this one sounds like a (evil) charm ^^)

[@acidspace6145]

Varg is that you?

[@Falseification]

I actually plug into my Keurig K-Classic Coffee Maker... this helps when you get drunk and piss in the coffee pot since the Keurig was designed ingeniously without one. I'm also trying to install vintage 30s on my crock pot and if I get it to work... that means I will have to find a new place to store my used toilet paper. I got the BM-1 Black Metal (Used) and when I tested it in my washing machine it sounded a little bright.

[@narayanacooper8571]

Wow! This pedal seems to have a great Black Metal sound. I would love to hear a Seymour Duncan Black Winter set of pickups through this pedal. 🤘

[@djiehnh3688]

[@Draefend]

Raw black metal tones sound better through low-output PAFs

[@fireinthesky4982]

It's covered in the Old English font. Tell me that isn't fvcking trve kvlt.

[@SpaceCowboy57]

[@dignifiedDog]

[@Cheeseboiga]

Better yet, the electronics should bust out a bit after 666 hours of playing for the "recorded in an obscure scandinavian forest" tone

[@ozzlayer]

I love the Nargaroth riff at the beginning

[@d.n.4328]

Love the sound of this pedal, thank you very much for making this video, Simon, this pedal kicks ass! \m/

[@SimonSmithGuitar]

Dmitrij Nataljin :0)

[@thefuneralparade]

It's just a $50 tops

[@thefuneralparade]

It's just an ARTEC soloist pedal and the washburn soloist pedal and they added a killer price tag of $600 over what it really costs.its a $50 pedal

[@MooMoo-hg7sq]

i come back to this video and just listen to it over and over again

[@SimonSmithGuitar]

Alex Papadopoulos Thanks man :0)

[@tristankx]

It sounds so goddamn beautiful I swear

[@MetalPrometheus]

Great review! This pedal is the same like Artec and Washburn Soloist . Only the paint is different. Same sound and circuit.

[@too--late]

These sounds can easily be achieved with a good old Boss DS-1 Distortion, and with a good old Boss GE-7 Equalizer.

[@lanceolson5988]

But this one has a pentacle.

[@hiroshi138]

And a "hate" button. Want!

[@100zitz]

That fender cable is so non-black metal, also, the name must be written in norwegian for a trver black metal feel xd!! just to say something stupid awesome pedal by the way, makes me think of many other genres too, plays so cool! THX for this demo, keep on rockin'

[@SimonSmithGuitar]

Thanks Hans!! Lol

[@wulfila99]

A 6505+ (in my case the 112 combo) works just fine as well, with the following settings: lead channel, cranked preamp valves, cranked reverb, cranked treble, rather high mids and close to no bass Preferably with a guitar with high-output pickups (in my case it's an EMG-81)

[@punkrockerhm]

I used both together!

[@Buffalo45-70]

Great playing as always Simon and good tone.

[@Naterade1959]

i can just use a table instead of an amp like varg but anyways this sounds like black flags tone almost

[@panzerkriegfin5930]

Mee too

[@bignibba9638]

Naterade_91 i still dont understand how it works. can you please explain to me cuz i might even try it myself

[@sekovittol3124]

Works with a bass too, did that in the 80's, then an old car speaker into a headphone amp. Was playing with power back then I tell ya. (psst, amps are nice!)

[@skatterpro]

It reminds you of black flag since black metal essentially is closer to punk than most other metal subgenres. Hell, some even say it's just punk.

[@gabrieltremblay3918]

varg table is the most black metal distortion

[@austang8556]

Sick AF sounds like my amp so I'm happy my amp is black metal enough!

[@philip4588]

You cant find this no more? anything close this now?

[@Blastistrash]

hey here again half a year later... again what's the riff you played at the beginning

[@youknowwhat8438]

Sorry you had to wait so long. It’s Nargaroth seven tears are flowing to the river.

@@SimonSmithGuitar *Depressive Suicidal Black Metal Agony SCREAM!!!!* 😖

[@TheNocturnalEvil]

It's essentially a Artec Soloist Distortion pedal with unique hand drawn graphics and logos instead of the bland Artec labels and logos. So, if you're only after the sound you can pretty much get the Soloist Distortion, they are available at dirt cheap prices. Of course if you want those hand drawn logos and graphics then you need to contact someone who can make them for you. You need to sand off the enclosure of the Artec and get it repainted with the pentagram logo and other stuff.
