A digital distortion pedal will sound better with analog delay than an analog distortion one because of too much warms added to the sound making it mushy and not crunchy enough.
A sustain pedal adds a long lasting sound by squeezing down the sound and adding further crunch to your notes/cords.
Distortion pedals: digitech, boss and danelectro make good metal type pedals. stay away from fuzz or "big muff" type pedals.
any analog delay pedal: boss or cheap pedal will work.
compresssor/sustain pedal: boss, frantone, alesis, sqeezer, miranda. you want more of a hard-knee type that is more extreme, not like electro harmonix or bbe. spend money on this!!
distortion (added) Feedback (helps with distortion) and "The Power Chord"
can be any shape or brand even the cheapest guitar with two humbuckers, heavy gauge strings and a low tuning through an amplifier with the right amount of distortion.
Heavy metal music usually has an very distorted electric guitar that creates a powerful ambiance by exceeding the amplifiers' capacity. That distortion exists somewhat in every heavy metal song.
do covers of heavy metal songs
As much as you wnt them to be from 100 + because with the right distortion pedal you can create any sound you wish but if you want a guitar that looks "heavy metal" then i would suggest a B C Rich as they are very cool looking from around £200

to tell u the truth guitar hero 1 was like a mix of heavy rock metal to the whole sooth metal. so in a way it is heavy but its also not very heavy. if u want a heavy rock game i would suggest guitar hero 2.
Guitar string gauge is a personal preference. However, for heavy metal you will most likely want to use a lighter string.
