Critic Reviews

Scott Ian Black-13 Review: This can't do clean tones, for sure. For metal, there's something... | DigiTech | Guitar Effects | Reviews @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com

ultimate-guitar.com

The DigiTech Scott Ian Black-13 pedal is a metalhead's delight, perfectly capturing Scott Ian's signature thrash tones. With its ease of use and robust build, it shines as a versatile amp modeller, though its presets are not adjustable. While it delivers a stunning array of metal sounds, it lacks clean tones, making it a niche product for thrash aficionados. The pedal’s durability ensures it’s road-ready, and its affordability makes it an attractive option for those seeking authentic metal sounds. Overall, it's a unique and reliable choice for metal enthusiasts, though finding a replacement might prove challenging due to its discontinued status.

Great Pedal

This gives so many great different types of distortion tones. One of them will give you that old metallica sound from Seek and Destroy. Definitely a must have.
