I'm pretty sure most of that is the light strings, high/low action and scale length.

I think my pick would be the Abasi, but the metal zone kinda surprised me. That pedal show has a good episode "Metal Zone part 2" with Rabea Massad where they tested a bunch of pedals like the original metal zone and the original sounded the worst in my opinion. I know there are many more factors, most of which is probably Rob's style of playing vs Rabea's. In the hands of Rob however, with this specific setup, is the best I've heard a MT-2 sound. It also might help if you think of the Metal Zone as a fuzz distortion instead of just a distortion, in that aspect it sounds on point.

The Abasi was designed to be a Metal Tube Screamer...in other words it needs the amp set to crunch ...not clean ...as it is it has no balz and sounds scooped. The Revv G4 had it nailed. They committed themselves to one sound and perfected it. The other 2 are trying to please everyone by giving you a lot of options non of which nails a single sound that really stands out.
