Question: Boss Metal Core guitar effects pedal with a strat!?
I am about to get one of these but im not sure if it will sound any good with a fender standard strat!. Do you need to have humbucker pickups or anything like that for it to have a good metal tone because the last metal effects pedal i got sounded awful (but it was pretty cheap)!. And i have heard that the metal zone pedal has more mid freq tone control but i cut most of the mids out anyway for playing metal!. So, will the metal core give me a good metal tone with the strat or will i need to get an eq pedal or what!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

You'll get a metal tone, but not the same as with a Les Paul or something with EMG's, etc!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Try the HM-2 Boss heavy metal pedal!. It sounds really good!. I have to admit that I had Seymour duncan pickups on the strat and that alone, gave the pedal an awesome clean boost!.

You might be better off investing in a neck pickup or a bridge pickup!. You already have a pedal!.

Just remember that what determines a good clean sustain begins with a clean sound form the pickup!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
