Will Adler from Lamb of God (which is no way in hell "Nu Metal", BTW) gets his sound from Mesa Mk4 and Mk5 amps, real honest to god tube amps. Not a cheapo, sub $100 distortion pedal.
Why waste your money on a tube amp only to use a crappy distortion pedal? I never understood this. All you are doing is making your amp sound like a cheap solid state. If you use a distortion pedal to make distortion it is going to sound like crappy distortion pedal. End of story. The sad thing is, you have the ability right in front of you, with your JCM900 to get a nice metal tone. Do what everyone else is telling you. Use an overdrive pedal like a TS or boss SD-1 to push your amp, not to make distortion. You will get nice tight, heavy, modern sounding distortion that sounds like the real deal, not a crappy pedal.
