Conclusion

Death Metal Distortion is practical for anybody that craves for a heavy distortion guitar sound. This pedal is slightly heavy sounding compare to Boss Metal Core. I liked the sound of this pedal combined with a full humbucker  guitars. Playing those heavy riffs really sounded ground shaking. Highly recommended for the metal heads out there.
