I've already stated it as fact that the metal zone is analog. There's no room for debate on that one.

The "chips", or ICs (Integrated Circuits) that are used in the Metal Zone aren't much different than the "chip" that's used in the Tubescreamer. All an IC, or in this case, a dual operational amplifier (opamp for short) is, is a bunch of transistors, resistors, and capacitors making up an amplifying circuit that fits into a really tiny package. Nothing digital about it.
