My friend gave me this old ibanez "thrashmetal" pedal, its really crunchy but i wouldn't call it Thrash at all has anyone every herd of these. i'll take pics in a bit, but my batteries are dead right now.
Here it is, it makes a nice booster pedal.

Wow, this thing is nice on the inside, fully insulated and grounded properly. Maybe if i could get a mode to get a little more gain out of it, it will be one killer pedal.

Sounds a bit like my 80s Tokai "Metaldriver"- it's closer to a Tubescreamer, you'd be hard pushed to play anything other than 80s radio "soft metal" on it.
I guess you could get an early thrash sound using a hot bridge humbucker?

Yeah, im using my sg now and gettin an almost adam jones really heavey tone to it. i really like it though, its pretty versatile depending on the guitar and settings you use.

The soundtank series were pretty good as I remember them...
A pal of mine had one called a 'Classic Metal' which sounded really nice and crunchy despite the dodgey name...

The SoundTank SlamPunk was my first pedal. I wish I still had it. Only cost me like $35 too.

"It's a micro switch" is about all i know about it.
doog fixed his delay with a propa stomp switch so he will know.

DOOG Where are you!?

Ehh... I just drilled the pedal and put a proper stompswitch in. It depends what sort of switch the pedal uses. The delay needed a SPST, my Tokai OD just needed a "push to break", so I replaced it with beefier version of those switches.
