The DigiTech Metal Master is a dedicated heavy metal distortion pedal from DigiTech providing high-gain, thick metal distortion with a powerful 3-band EQ for frequency shaping the metal tone. Covers hard rock through extreme metal gain territory with the tight, aggressive distortion character needed for metal rhythm playing and high-gain lead work. One of DigiTech's dedicated metal-focused pedal designs. Made by DigiTech.
The J. Rockett 10 Ton Hammer is an old-school high-gain pedal built for articulate distortion with long sustain and a tight bottom end. What distinguishes it from most high-gain pedals is that it preserves the voicing of the amp and guitar behind it rather than replacing them, so the character of the rig still comes through under heavy gain. It produces harmonically dense distortion suited to thick rhythm chords and cutting leads alike. It suits hard rock and metal players who want a high-gain pedal that does not flatten their amp's identity.
