I agree... I've always liked the Boss Pedals due to excellent quality and durable construction. I'm not personally familar with the Digitech Death Metal, but it does look cooler and has two outputs...one for your amp and one for a mixing board if that's needed. I noticed that the Digitech also costs less. Sorta goes back to what Cytania suggested...try both out if you get a chance and then decide. I would also venture to bet that both have very similar circuitry and sound...hope this helps...
