The Metal Muff distortion is a good big families.
EH always look a little vintage fun. Robust pedal with stompswitch, volume control, a tone and gain. In addition, a TopBoost: mini switch 3 positions: off, low and high.

UTILIZATION

Given the settings, not just for making high school to get away with it. There is no manual but hey, it is far from the gas works!

SOUND QUALITY

Looking for the ultimate distortion of the large metal? Micro Metal Muff is for you! Do not look for a huge variation of grain that can be used as the old Boss DS1, which with its dynamic nature can translate the nuances of vontre attack. Here, the grain is very aggressive in the first quarter of the race to gain knob. Lovers will appreciate.
I feared that the Micro Metal Muff (MMM) is less ergonomic than the Metal Muff (MM) due to classical equalization controls less developed (1 dial tone against the traditional Bass, Med Treeble on MM). But in fact, the possibilities are already good. The tone control is very responsive and offers in itself a good range of grades. It is appreciated!
The Top Boost is also something. Do not expect to operate it up to this mini thing! It serves more as a filter medium and allows permanent color the sound differently. The downside: if the position is useful Low, the High is to be banned from office (as with the boost of the MM). You end up with something loud and hissing at will. Otherwise, frankly, those who are manipulating the sound are big and fat is one of the best pedals on the market in my opinion. On my Epiphone ZW LP signature mounted EMG81 + 85, should have seen (or rather hear) that!

OVERALL OPINION

In fact, I just used this stuff because the grain was just too metal for me too.
I have since changed "weapon" for DF7 DigiTech Distortion Factory, which offers more versatility (being a fan of distortion, I always found it difficult to satisfy me one effect model).
But metalheads can try the MMM without fear. It sends serious. Remains to be seen on its still quite a lot fuzzzzant that gum shades Agreements "full" (it makes them very rough). on the other hand in power-chords & syncopated riffs, go ahead cheerfully.
My rating on this point rather corresponds to the intrinsic qualities of the effect for the style to which it is dedicated only my subjective assessment.
