The Ultra Metal is a Boss Metal Zone clone and both of them, like as many other overdrive distortion pedals, pretty much require a guitar amplifier with good sounding clean channel to sound good. I prefer almost any 50-120W higain tube guitar amplifier, because the solid state amplifiers tend to sound really harsh, in a bad way.

First dial in a good clean tone from the amplifier itself, then put the pedal on with all the settings at zero (meaning eq in the the center and the dist and level on the left). Then open up the level so that when the pedal is bypassed, it is as loud as the the clean channel. Then slowly open up the distortion so that you get slight distortion without losing clarity, usually somewhere between 9 and 12 o clock is enough. When it goes all buzzsaw, then there is too much distortion. Adjust the EQ settings so that you get the balance you want.

Do death metal vocals use distortion?

Often times, yes, death metal vocals will use distortion and other effects. These are generally added afterwards, though, just to beef it up and give it a fuller sound. If you can't get the death metal sound on your own, no amount of distortion or effects will help.

How do you get a Ozzy sound on your fender practice amp?

Fender amps are not known for being able to achieve the '80s metal sounds of Randy Rhoads and Jake E. Lee, or the heavy, super-saturated, dense Black Sabbath sounds of Zakk Wylde. You will need more "metal" amps such as large Marshall stacks, Mesa Boogie, or Randall. Fender amps are known for their loud, clean, jangly, piercing sounds, not for "heaviness" and distortion. Adding too much distortion to a small Fender practice amp will most likely just result in a "papery", brittle distorted sound.


Which one should you buy the death metal distortion pedal or the metal zone distortion pedal?

when you say death metal distortion I asume you're reffering to the digitech one. I'd say the metalzone is better as it's more versatile and doen't give as much feedback. but they're both decent. However,, If you're referring to the D.O.D. death metal than I would go for that hands down if you can find one. (they're discontinued) THIS IS JUST MY OPINION!

What is the best pickup adjustments for total distortion crunch metal for the ibanez rg 120 series?

It really depends on what sound you are looking for. EMG Active pickups are great for metal but lack tone. On the other hand try perhaps Di Marzio Super Distortion. It's got great sound for Classic rock & metal with plenty of tone floating around. Or Seymore Duncan Distortion is a good pickup in a Basswood body like your ibanez. Good luck...

What is distortion in welding?

it moves Because almost all Elements expand when heated and contract when cooled. As you are welding the metal at that location is trying to expand because of the heat. Ahead of the weld area the metal isn't moving. Behind the weld area the metal is trying to contract as it cools. If the whole weld could be heated at once it would expand then contract at the same rate without distortion.
