Sound Quality: This Distortion Pedal can achieve a wide range of high quality distortion tones. The sounds it creates are really amazing and most other Distortion Pedals can’t compete.

Example Sounds Settings

A warm sounding distortion is achieved when the basic EQ settings are at around noon, and the distortion level is completely turned down. It produces a tone that really brings out the natural sound of your guitar, and your playing.

Setting the mid range EQ down, and the distortion about half way up gives you a great mid cut range, and a heavy distortion. It is perfect for shredding at this level because of it’s high gain, and great distorted tone.

Pushing the pedal to the limit, and setting the distortion to max really shows off what this pedal can do. It creates a super heavy distortion that just sounds great, and is perfect for the heaviest of metal bands.

The Metal Muff is also great for pinch harmonics.  I found that some Distortion Pedals claiming super heavy tones, often can’t capture the sounds of pinch harmonics correctly. This pedal is perfect for them. Its EQ controls are also very impressive. They are very responsive and help you dial in your tone perfectly.

Features: The most unique feature on this Distortion Pedal is it’s high gain boost switch. It allows players to get a boost in their highs during solos, without having to switch pickups. It is perfect for nailing solos, and really makes your guitar scream.

If you are a metal player, you’ve got to check this Distortion Pedal out. It is an impressive pedal that can achieve a wide range of distortion tones that all sound excellent. It is something no guitar player should be without.
