Early Metallica was done with modified Marshalls and a RAT pedal for James and a Tube Screamer for Kirk, hence my recommendation of them, based on what you said you play.

Yup, kirk uses a ts9, probably a real old one though.Early Metallica was done with modified Marshalls and a RAT pedal for James and a Tube Screamer for Kirk, hence my recommendation of them, based on what you said you play.
If your using an OD to boost your head I don't recommend anything keeley modded because his mods are mainly to get better overdrive tones not to boost.I really want another OD pedal but I can't decide between them!! I want a keeley modded ts9dx flexi, ocd, maxon od9 pro+, etc. I really dont know!!!

Like I said to the OP, od9 pro if you want the best, ts9 cheaper, ts7 cheapest.

Have you tried it yet?I went with the OD9 Pro+Probably get a Timmy or new Klon(when they become available) later on but don't think it's needed as of yet as I don't really play blues.

My goal is to own a od9 pro, the doomsday device AND a keeley modded mt-2 metal zone
Its weird you still need a boost for a 4000$ amp from an amp brand known for being ridiculously compressed and tight, which channel are you using? the channel 4 on that amp has like 10x times the distortion metallica and megadeth use, in fact I bet channel 2 has the amount of gain they used back then.
Well 80's metallica is the only GOOD metallica anyways.Nah, I just ordered it. In Australia it's VERY hard to get your hands on good products at brick and mortar stores. Pretty much all my guitars(ESP's), amps, cabs, pedals were purchased from the US or Europe. I mainly use channel 3. I haven't messed around with channel 2 that much but it is more of a crunch channel. However with a boost/OD, it probably could do 80's Metallica lol.
Crunch channel rhythm tones >>> lead channel rhythm tones.
This goes for 5150s, Engls, Framuses, and many other similar 3-channel heads.
I will experiment with the crunch channel. However it does need some kind of boost/OD as it is pretty light/faint as of now.
Have you noticed the high gain switches and stuff? the mega low punch button should make that amp a MONSTER.
What are you wondering about?Hey guys can you give me a bit more info on the Way Huge Green Rhino?
I'm quite interested in picking one up because of the extra versatility it offers over conventional TS pedals. I'm looking at putting it through ch2 of my 5150iii.
I like the feel that a tube screamer type pedal gives you, but in front of my 5150ii it seems to take all the raw low end out of it. I've tried bad monkey, green screamer, and considering Ice 9 if anyone has any opinion on it, or something that will give the attack but not take the girth.
EXACTLY, and most people still don't get itThat's kind of the point though. That "raw low end" just really makes it muddy in a band mix as you end up fighting with the bassist and the kick.
