You can't really go wrong with a Boss MT2 for metal, and you can buy MODIFIED versions of it from Analogman or check out guitartone.net & do the mod yourself. The mod gets rid of the "white noise" sound of the stock pedal's eq. Also, if you're just looking for something to punish the f...

Or you could just buy good equipment to start with. Easier said than done.
