Hi everyone, today is my bday and my little brother got me a DOD Death Metal Distortion pedal. I plugged it in and it sounded pretty cool, but my only concern was that maybe it was too heavy. I like to play mostly rock (PJ obviuosly) type stuff and was wondering if I should take this back and get something like a Boss DS-1. I have read some reviews and everyone loves their Death Metal Pedal and praise it, but I am just nervous as I don't really play too much heavy metal. Any info. is greatly appreciated.
Well, it's one louder, isn't it?

    Yeah, beer. I'd trade it for beer.

    But if you don't like beer, the DS-1 is a pretty good, basic pedal. I would recommend an Ibanez Tubescreamer, myself, but the DS-1 would be better than a Death Metal Distortion. The DMD is great for playing exactly that, Death Metal, but if you don't want to be James Hetfield, trade it in.

    But don't just ignore the possibility of beer.
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    yeah, that's got a little more gain than you need but then so does the DS-1. Depending on your amp though the DS-1 is a great distortion pedal, Cobain used it for his sound. If you're looking to spend a bit more, Robert Keeley http://www.robertkeeley.com builds modified DS-1's to make them more clear and more tubelike, he even has a model that he created for Steve Vai. So you know it sounds good. Pearl Jam use more amp distortion than pedal distortion, they use Ibanez Tubescreamers to boost the preamp tubs and send the power amp tubes into distortion. If you can't turn it up that loud the DS-1 would be a good fit.
