I really digg the Moen Violent Metal!!
I had an active collection of distortion pedals n this came closest to what I liked.

I am posting this in case someone else fancies to get a thrash metal sound out of an "inexpensive" amp.
I believe, that even a less than real quality amp can sound 93% better using the right pedal.
I've heard, that the Death Metal pedal can be used (with the proper settings) for an "excellent" thrash tone (even better for that, than the Death Metal tone it is intended for).
The Grunge pedal, is better for Metal than it is for Grunge!
People seem to only be waking up to this fact now.
Some people really do have to make do with what they can afford, though I really do not believe one should compromise when it comes to the musical instruments/amps one "has to have" or "knows one needs".
And to put things in perspective, the other day I heard a chap playing a Messa something or other (big silver face plate on the head with a lot of knobs) and it sounded "exactly" like Metallica!

To be honest when I borrowed a mates Grunge pedal a long time ago I thought it was really good, didnt sound harsh & over the top. That was with a practice amp though.
Okay another bump to this thread for no reason at all. You made no point whatsoever.

I agree, I got one for $20 and used it with my old Laney until I got my mesa. It actually sounded pretty good as far as solid state amps and distortion pedals go, also lots of options with it.
edit I'm sorry I read the first few pages and didnt know it was an old when I posted
