Plugging in every Metal Zone at once 

If Tom Morello played for Korn in the 90s...

I love how Josh just hits the pedal on the desk to try to get it working again. A true professional.

2:48 Rob: "I've actually done this type of thing before" Josh: "I was there..."

the contrast between the guitar and the entirely clean drum kit is FANTASTIC

2:53 “I’ve actually done this type of thing before” -The world record holder for most pedals in a pedal board.

This is the stuff that would have had us dying on the sales floor at Guitar Center in 2003. We actually had an original Crate make its way into the shop. This was cool.

I just told my guitar teacher about Rob Scallion and how good he is. This is the first video he saw.

When you enter the Metal Zone, you transcend tone itself.

This was such a massive clusterfuck of tone and I absolutely love it

You are traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. Your next stop, the Metal Zone.

i’m a simple man i see every metal zone at once and i tap

I actually unironically love the distortion on this, it's so crunchy it sounds like it's coming out of an old motherboard onboard sound system

I am in awe at the size of this guy's gear haul. The local recording studios must love this guy!

I love how there is no explanation for this video, it just exists, which makes it all the better.

I love the Metalcore pedal so much, it’s pretty good! Perfect for Noise Rock!

This tone was a rite of passage for all old teenage metalheads, lol. Kids today don't realize how good they have it with all the amp sims available today that sound good as soon as you launch the program.

Hi Rob, I know it’s all with the best intentions but BetterHelp has been known to have some therapists that are unlicensed or generally unhelpful (unprofessional advice, leaving patients on read, etc.) I’m glad your experience was good but a lot of people don’t get the same kind of help out of the service.

Crate amp, a DOD Death Metal with a 7 string Ibanez was my freshman year of high school. Love it!

My first pedal was a Boss MetalCore. Bought it because I was a massive fan of the genre of the same name. Boss tricked me real good, at the time I had no idea that metalcore bands almost never used distortion, rather tube screamers into high-gain amps.

when i worked at a guitar shop we had a ridiculous amount of vintage Dyna Comps, 12 or 13 i think. so one day i grabbed them all, chained them together, and maxed them all out. No joke it was such a great/terrible sound. the tone and dynamics were like the equivalent of trying to speak after being punched in the throat, and this oppressive noise floor would slowly swell in as each note faded out and then immediately die when you hit a note again.

A Crate and a Metal Zone was where I started. And I still love it.

I've been a Metal Zone fan for 25 years! There's something iconic about it that people love. If I had to describe what I like, it is the scratchy mutes and deep lows that are a near perfect combo.

This was so metal. When Rob mentioned that he was 13 in 2003... that makes me feel old.

MAX GAIN, MAX BASS, MAX TREBLE, NO MIDS

At this point, Rob's just slowly becoming a noise music artist, and I love it

Rob is one of many RU-vidrs whose content so abandons self-aggrandizement in favor of broader, eye-opening content...that it's easy to forget just how great of a musician he is.

I will die on this hill, the Boss Metal Zone is such a versetile and just good metal distortion pedal.

I know this is not what the video's about, but I've been making my way through guitar quest and having a ton of fun doing it! the course is set up in a way that is easy-to-digest. Thanks for making the course, Rob!

The fact that this video exists makes me so happy. This is exactly something I would have tried as a kid. And the jam was actually usable! ( I’m and industrial/noise kinda guy)

Love how there's absolutely zero context or setup like normal it's literally just a stream of consciousness to "all the MetalZone"

Someone need to make a combo amp in the form of a giant metal zone and it also has a built in metal zone in it.

I seriously love Crate. I feel like I get the 80s metal sound I like.

This was probably one of the better Better Help commercials that I've seen, Rob. Nice job.

This video makes me feel a certain kind of way. Not sure what that feeling is, but it’s there.

2:58 that’s a pretty great Black Metal tone, tbh! 🤘

A masterclass in the subtle art of pedal stacking and gain staging.

Ah, the "go mental and add drums" strategy... Works every time!

The first check I wrote in high school was for a Metal Zone at Guitar Center!!! Love this.

HOLY SHIT I LOVE BOTH OF YOUR CHANNELS

I still have a 40W Crate combo amp that actually came with two Celestions in it. I also have an early made Heavy Metal pedal that I got after reading that Eddie VH used one for the solo of "Beat It" by MJ. 🔥🎸🔥

That really sounded sick AF. Loved it.

This is such a cool video. Really great to see the two of you work together, I feel like you vibe well together. :D Also mad respect for the sponsor!

I’ve been looking for an amp to do my clean tones, and a Roland Jazz was the first I went hunting for. What popped into my head was how all my old middle/high school friends had Crate amps and that the cleans were pretty damn clean… Now I’m hunting for 90’s Crates. Lol.

Wasn't BetterHelp a huge scam? I remember something about them from a few years back. Something about them not verifying whether their counselors were even licensed or qualified to provide the care they advertised.

Omg two of my favourite channels doing a collab?!

Who knew that chaining a bunch of Metal Zones will get you "Clown" by Korn? :)

The collab we all needed

Years ago I had a special Crate amp called a GT-60, a step above a G-60...it came with a Celestion 12" speaker....it was an absolute monster and sounded pretty good as well.

That last noise jam… I’mma need that as a short. The automatic looping would make things easier for me.

Loving the new genre of music, quite progressive and really harmonises with me quite well.

Always wanted that CRATE amp when I was a kid [the year it came out]. Ended up getting a Traynor instead. So much in guitar tech has moved on, yet I still kinda want one with my old Big Muff.

this video has barely any structure AND I LOVE THAT

That final jam sounds like something Godflesh would put out. It just needs Justin Broadrick on vocals and you have a new EP.

Love how you guys broke into filth-era swans esque noise rock with the pedal fisting.

I literally just sat down getting back from the guitar shop where I bought another drive pedal. Great video, now time to try out this Earthquaker Life V3 ahaha

My 1st half stack was a crate I found at a music store in Atlanta called “dirt cheap music “ it was $300 for the head and cab and I had it for years and seriously regret selling it years ago. It didn’t sound great but I loved it lol

would love if you demo'd all of those metal zone pedal individually too! but that was a badass groove! really shows how there's no such thing as awful unusable tone. anything can be used creatively and work.

Thank you for helping me with my JHS fix. You're groovy, too. Capable of making beautiful music from a variety of instruments. And this.

You guys are mental I love it 🤣🤣 rob+josh I wanna see this more

I did this exact thing about a decade ago - minus the original crate amplifier of course (I used the clean channel on a DSL100) Obviously, it didn’t sound great but it was super fun to do!!

I love how unorthodox this video is, perfect rob content

i needed this

It sounds every bit as good as I was expecting it to be.

All you need now is the Line 6 Spider on the insane preset.

This is amazing!

This has some Altarage vibes. The fuzz, the screeches, the buzzing and the reverb. I like it.

Fire song at the end!

love that original crate

This made me laugh so hard guys, thanks! Makes me want to spend the day stacking all my drive pedals to see what happens.

I have a crate gx2200h Excalibur running through a 200 watt vintage Marshall cab. Its WAY TOO POWERFUL for the cab once you turn it past 4. That Amp rips. I love that crate. The blue voodoo was actually a ripping crate Amp too.

Damn it. I also was getting my first guitar gear in 2003, wanted Metal Zone, but wasn't able to afford it, and got a 15w Crate with built-in overdrive. A similar start, now 20 years later Rob is the man, and I'm about as bad at guitar playing as I was 20 years back (but still loving it).

Oh dude, I've always wanted one of those og Crate amps, and will still get one eventually.

me and some friends once went into a guitar center and bought three metal zones (their entire stock) plus an old digitech metal master and we just spent the whole day making noises. at first we ran a guitar through them but then we used my dad's old delay that had a dry out to create a feedback loop. it was very fun.

Every Metal Zone, everywhere, all at once! Glorious!

nice groove

Amazing sound 🤟🔝🔝🔝

I just found a comment from 13 years ago by you about how you used a video of Mike Patton performing a moonchild show for a school project for something and now I respect you even more because you know who that is. After all Mike Patton is my favorite singer ever.

My first set up, Washburn strat copy, Crate amp, not a “metal” pedal but a construction truck orange Boss OS-2 Overdrive/Distortion and a DOD FX-75b Stereo Flanger that never got played in stereo, later added a Vox wah (and I still have the Crate and the wah, but it’s modded with a better switch and the FoxxRoxx buffer so it doesn’t fight with my Superfuzz clone.)

"which distortion should I use?" -"all of them..."

More is more!

Putting three ad read in the shades is pretty smart good job.

Crate amps are pretty rad. GX-130CH XL is a great amp. A lot of metal bands from Florida used them.

I got a MT-2 to have for a joke (see covid 5g chip schematic), and just by itself it has about 60dB more gain than necessary. The first thing before the clipper is a bandpass filter for the cocked-wah sound, and when you daisy chain them it's almost the only frequency that will come through. This video shows the wisdom of cascading high-gain pedals.

This is what I did all the time when I was in middle school. Just mess with my pedals and see what happened. Thank you JHS for being so cool. Much love!

we need a sample pack of the noise and also that sweet sweet drum kit. Jeeez!

Hell yeah I had that Crate amp. It was the stuff adjacent to legends.

Lol crates got their own sound, I got an old gx 15 love that lil thing

holy shit that crate combo is so awesome! i have a crate head, 100W with tubes and it cost me like $100 on reverb. sounds really good if you roll the treble off

Lol! My first amp was a little Crate combo like that one. It only had an OD so i needed more. The shop was out of DS1's so i got a DF2 and a GE7, eventually got the HM2 and BF2. That was like 1986 but i was 12 and getting some great metal sounds. Good times🤘

cleanest tone I've heard today

Being a “collector” is just organized hoarding

6:45 *Godflesh has entered the room*

And that’s just the clean tone!

3:05 didn't have to call me out like that 😭

epic jam

JHS AND ROB ??? BEAUTIFUL!!

i love everything about this video lmao

Glad to see the new Korn album is coming along.

Crate Blue Voodoo, most of ya'll don't understand the pinnacle of Crate could sit comfortably with the very upper echelons of high gain amps. The BV300H has been my pride and joy since 2007. Don't get me wrong, everything else Crate makes, I pretty much agree with the majority that it's almost worthless when it comes to more professional rigs, practice, sure, but otherwise, meh...their flagship amp is a giant exception, the clean channel is amazing, and once you put an EQ pedal in the loop, it's just truly godly clean tone, I like extra clean glassy lush clean tones, I'm very picky like most guitarists, and it's just so satisfying to hear the fullness and mood it has, wonderful pedal platform, and the distortion channel is so tasty, my favorite distortion tone ever, I know I'm a little biased, but I've never come across a distortion I like more, I think it's about as high gain as you can get while still really feeling all the analog goodness. They over-built this amp, everyone talks about all the most popular high gain amps, and I'm always surprised both that hardly anyone mentions it, and the rare occasion someone DOES talk about it. Probably one of the most criminally underrated amps ever. A pawn shop downtown from me had one of these first Crates a couple months ago, I wonder if they still have it.

This gave me “Full Of Hell” vibes”. And im here for it.
