  Audiofanzine FR's review

  Characteristics

  Originally written by Mr Larsen on Audiofanzine FR.
  
  
  
  Digital distortion pedal with three selectable voicings. Effective EQ (parametric mid) and integrated noise gate (also very effective)

  Utilization

  No problems. Or almost (see below)...

  Sound Quality

  The sound of this stomp box changed radically after buying a new amp.
  
  Explanation:
  
  - I first had a Roland Cube 30 solid-state amp and the result was very good: guitar (peavey wofgang US) directly into the Uber Metal, and stomp box into the amp (clean channel). The result sounds very nice (I use the metal mode since I usually play classic hard rock) with a long sustain. Only the low-end is a bit too light. The tone is rather cold (it also due to the Cube) but easily usable.
  
  - I then bought a Valveking 112 tube amp: the result is disastrous!! Very shrilling sound, almost no low frequencies, etc. I tried to connect it into the FX loop of the amp: the sound was a bit better with more lows but less gain and less sustain... Surprisingly, the lead channel of the 112 gives better results. So, I don't use the Uper Metal!!

  Overall Opinion

  Try this stomp box with your amp because you could get bad surprises.
  
  I was very satisfied with my Roland Cube, but the pedal is useless with the Valveking.
  
  I bought a Vox Satchurator later and had no problems. I connect it to the clean channel and I get a good distortion sound.
  
  I don't know if you would experience the same problem with other tube amps: just try it out with your own amp before buying it.

  MGR/metalguardian's review "Line 6 Uber-Metal"

  Characteristics

  Utilization

  Sound Quality

  Overall Opinion

  i bought it at guitar center for 100 bucks, came out to 107 with tax, i bought it cuz i need heavy gain that sounds good
  
  
  
  its got a noise gate that has three settings; off-1-2, and it actually works, its got more knobs than the average distortion pedal and theyre pretty sensitive which is cool cuz u can get a lot of tones, its also got three modes too, but be warned - this is for metal and metal only (well actually this would work for any high gain sound in general)
  
  
  
  this thing will inhale a 9 volt in an hour, u need the adapter, but i would get an adapter for any gear i own so this doesnt bug me
  
  
  
  its metal alright, it weighs like 3 pounds easy, the battery compartment is alright i guess, but not the best design in my opinion, knobs seem like a good kick would take em off
  
  
  
  this thing sounds killer, fellow gainiacs with very little money take note and get down to your local guitar store to check this out, it covers everything from bodom to slayer to pantera, best pedal out right now for sure.

  MGR/Luke Offield - 3 Headed Moses's review "Line 6 Tone Core - Uber Metal"

  Characteristics

  Utilization

  Sound Quality

  Overall Opinion

  Tried this pedal at a local guitar shop with a friend, he bought it and I bought one just a few days later. It instantly struck us both as a "must have" product.
  
  It usually runs $100 but it's worth every penny.
  
  
  
  Whats not to like?! This is the distortion pedal we\'ve all been waiting for. Where the others fall short, this pedal steps it up with unbelievable amounts of distortion, power, and control. There\'s 6 knobs (level, gain, high, mid, mid-scoop, and low) and they are all quite sensitive. The slightest turn makes a world of change. Any (and I do mean ANY) sound is achievable. There\'s also 3-way switch for 3 types of distortion to choose from (Metal, Pulverize, and Insanity), all are very capapble, flexible and very cool. There\'s also a 2 level noise gate that is quite effective in cleaning up the sound when useing a lot of palm muteing. If every other dist. pedal has left you feeling unsatisfied, head to www.line6.com and find out more. Better yet, go find a store that has \'em and try one out, I know that when you do, you\'ll be $100 poorer but you\'ll be swimming in unlimited distortion. Oh, it\'s also built like a tank, it weighs almost 3 pounds!!! All metal construction.
  
  
  
  There is nothing to dislike about this product.
  
  
  
  Top f\'n notch. WW3 will come and go, roaches and my Uber Metal pedal will inherit the earth.
  
  
  
  I put this in the \"dont ask, just buy\" catagory! Definitly check it out now!

  Toinou 092's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Everything has been said ..

  Utilization

  Config can be easier ..
  
  Three distinct distortion mode
  
  Two types of noise gates

  Sound Quality

  More than acceptable considering the price (some will want to kill me but hey everyone's opinion)
  
  slight preference for the mode "pulverize" after each his own again.

  Overall Opinion

  I would say it is the best in its price range.
  
  For metalheads who wish to have a big headroom without killing the auditorium
  
  This pedal has been my companion for more than 3 years either in rehearsal or studio
  
  The integrated noise gate is a real plus (members of my old band Black / Death we were delighted we could hear without the feedback of madness)
  
  I advise all guitarists wanting a small distortion "high gain" being able to sound just ready any transistor amp it (after it is on if you plug a Diezel will not do it ^ ^)
  
  I personally salvation value for money and the next "all terrain" of the creature even if its still modeling.

  cowboys of pantera's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " exellent pedal."

  Characteristics

  -Distortion pedal to the metal, but can go to a big rock if it is properly adjusted.
  
  
  
  -3 Modes of distortion at high gain amps from HD147 and Vetta II: Metal, Pulverize, Insane.
  
  
  
  Noise gate-incorporated.
  
  
  
  - Settings distortion level, output level and EQ low, mid and treble function with Scoop.
  
  
  
  - Audio input / output.
  
  
  
  - Aluminum case very strong.

  Utilization

  This pedal sounds, immediately after ignition. the knobs are very easy to adjust, it immediately finds its sound.

  Sound Quality

  -I mainly cheeks'' death metal'', the sound I was looking rather cold enough.
  
  This pedal has all the sounds of metal as possible: most of the metal, the metal dirty and greasy as cold and precise. This pedal can go to a big rock if it is properly adjusted.
  
  
  
  -In addition, the noise gate is very effective, means no more parasites.

  Overall Opinion

  This pedal is really perfect heavy rock to heavy metal. It is really very effective, I highly recommend it.

  Zillah's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  A pedal with three sounds, a parametric medium, a noise gate has two levels, solid, and has a very reasonable price. That is all good.

  Utilization

  Very simple and effective. Against the knob by Scoop is unbearable. due to its location, and function. a simple medium portard gain would have been easier, and this place has not.

  Sound Quality

  I find the first sound feeble but why not. The 3rd, insane, is far from being as good as the spider and pods. But the sprayed is genial. I love living this side and synthetic has both. It is also very reactive.
  
  
  
  The noise gate is pretty good, I leave it to position 1. The two food a little but we must believe that it is intended to use a little extreme.

  Overall Opinion

  I tried many models, it is a good pedal with excellent value for money. especially in Cygnus. The independent ratings and all in one is thinking and working. No use for the "analog sound", as a booster or that sort of thing. This is clearly not the goal.

  Kaeldyhr's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  A typed metal pedal, it can not be overemphasized. (So ​​when I read that some seek hendrix sound and are disappointed ...-.-' normal.)
  
  
  
  The pedal is not editable via PC, but like any self-respecting line 6 pedal, you can take modules for very little.
  
  
  
  A technology analogy, this pedal still sends the heavy = D (see sound section)
  
  
  
  Strength level ... even in the middle show monster trucks, it would hold x)

  Utilization

  Using super cool all knob HUGE influence on the sound.
  
  The manual is clear, but there is really no need.
  
  
  
  Me I play metal pantera typed & cie. (Especially Avenged Sevenfold I'm a fan).

  Sound Quality

  So there ... slap to my first use. The sound is purely enormous. Wide range of sound thanks to selector 3 position of the pedal.
  
  
  
  The noisegate, do not talk about a real bomb: she eats no attack, nor the sound of the guitar, it is simply extremely effective (2 positions: reduction and interruption).
  
  
  
  Note: knob mediums is relatively difficult to resolve and is directly linked to the Scoop knob)

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for almost a year and I'm still happy. She will follow me for a long time ^ ^
  
  
  
  I use a Fender Showmaster limited edition and a Schecter C-1 Classic deep sea green. In short, I am super happy with this toy;)
  
  
  
  Really excellent value for money (thank you Line 6, p)
  
  
  
  Finally here it is, for those looking for the grain it offers, it is excellent, although typed.
  
  
  
  note: I am also in love toujorus noisegate

  SlapKid's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " punch!"

  Characteristics

  What's cool with line6 pedals is that once you have a bin you buy just the modules at a low price! 18 roros okaz for this module, I got curious ...
  
  
  
  It's pretty amazing what she can do 3 ways that have nothing in common, a noise-gate ultra-efficient food does not the guitar, and buttons that get results!
  
  
  
  We can supply it together (like a multi-output power supply for all pedals board), it must have its power supply just for her.
  
  In return, from the time the polarity is correct or it accepts anything, no need for stabilization so like all high-gain pedals I had.
  
  
  
  You can use a stereo dock, it works without other cool line6.
  
  Important: Although not true bypass, the codec is not active in bypass mode, so everything is ok, unlike other digital pedals.

  Utilization

  No, it's not obvious, especially in the mediums that are really very difficult to adjust.
  
  It seems that the volume pot to scoop neutral 9-10hrs, boosts below, and digs into it. It's hard to find what works.
  
  Noise gate two positions, reduction and capacity (for chopping rhythm mutated).
  
  
  
  More progressive than the volume or Crunchtone Distorto, I also.
  
  
  
  Progressive gain also, no need to mount the masses to be worn by the sound.

  Sound Quality

  The difference in quality between the user and pulverized the other two is such that I only use him.
  
  This method does not clone a distortion pedal but a mesa amp (model not for fags).
  
  
  
  The equalization is such that everything is possible, but I use it not for rhythmic egg (even though it is sometimes difficult to stop to make so the sound is enjoyable) but for the solo.
  
  So the gain and the scoop to 10hrs, I keep the media and the saturation is quite natural. The grain is superb, very amp is warm and clear, well picked and sustain very natural.
  
  The highs are somewhat unique, because the equalizer does not alter the character really sound in that register, hard to describe but there are still a lot actually.
  
  
  
  Background noise absolute nothingness, like his sisters, what is good! Z'entendez, Msieu Fender? (No, too many parasites Zont)

  Overall Opinion

  Very good pedal, useful. Very different from his two sisters, complementary.
  
  
  
  Bypass the sound is a bit less open than right in the amp but at home only. At a local cable 3m between guitar and pedal plus a 6m between the pedal and amp sounds better with bypass than right in the amp with cable 9m.
  
  
  
  Logic, but must know, the advertising we rehash a bit too much with their fucking true bypass all the sauces!
  
  I invite skeptics to visit the site of SansAmp, tech21nyc.com, or the boss clearly explains this phenomenon of bypassing.
  
  
  
  Returning to her, it's all good. I was damage control solid metal, well it's not obvious level results, and for the price I will not mention ...
  
  
  
  This mode is quite unique pulverized, it's not a pedal but an amp, which differentiates it from other distos market.
  
  Essentially, the uber metal is more physical, more real, more beefy. Very well done, Msieu line6! What

  Rockhen's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " For Metal Head"

  Characteristics

  Transistor distortion pedal. 3 Type 2 configuration of distortion and noise gate. Pot 6: Level, Scope, Drive, Base, Mid, Treble.

  Utilization

  No need to book. It's Plug and Play. For a player of modern Metal, Death, Heavey, Trash. Especially for a good sound and rhythm that works well in Mid.

  Sound Quality

  LOVE IT! Not very verstile ... But I'm in the Power and I was looking for a good sound for my Rhythm. It does not saturate, the noise gate is very effectively.

  Overall Opinion

  I have it in my rig for several years and have always peinne to do without. I had a BOSS Metal Zone, Behringer V-Amp Pro, POD XT Live, Vox Tone Lab SE ENGL E530 and frankly for the price, NOTHING n'accote the Ubert Metal.
