I recently purchased a Mesa Boogie express 5:25 which does everything I want amazingly with the exception of metal. I am looking for a metal sound at low volumes and I thought maybe a EH Metal muff with top boost would do the trick. I hear alot of people saying go for overdrive instead or boost pedals but I think more volume is required for these to be come effective. I also have read about EQ pedals that are apparently very good at adding to your sound. I really am against using too many effects and just letting the amp breath but I would really love some metal tones to complete this amp because it does everything else so well and with cleans that are like crystal. Any suggestions on pedals that might be helpful Distortion, OD or EQ? Thanks in advance.
Edit: Also any tricks with setting the amp up EQ and gain wise that might help me would be appreciated if anyone has any they would like to share.
