All user reviews for the Electro-Harmonix Metal Muff with Top Boost

Distortion pedal from blues to metal métal.Boitier robust, 6 knobs volume, treble, serious distortion, "middle" and "top boost".
Food: A 9-volt battery under a hatch or a twist-off power switch operating externe.Un the effect of distortion + boost switch top to make the sound sharper.

UTILIZATION

The manual is absolutely worthless if you can connect a pédale.L use is very simple, but I blame this pedal to have a noise action (click) too noisy but it is not very serious. conseiile I use constantly boost the top because, I believe the settings, I find the sound of distortion Inrush enough without this effect.
The sound is very good at low volume is excellent and has a high level, but we must make adjustments to avoid graisillement background especially if you have a guitar single coil pickups as a telecaster (I use)

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is deadly! Whether you like blues or metal very powerful you will not be disappointed even with a single coil guitar! It has become an indispensable for my game against guitare.Par must disconnect the pedal regularly vow and if you do breaks between time that the battery does not wear

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months and I find that the price / quality ratio is not excellent.Certes pedal distortion the least expensive but its well worth the 100 euros because of the quality of the effect and the robustness of the case. But I blame the sound of "click" too large and

Analogue distortion pedals non ditable, audio, not rack ...

UTILIZATION

One branch, turn buttons, you press the switches ..
no manual

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is good trs, there is some ployvalence, and trs qualisation is effective
trs sound s'amliore same high volume, but be careful when lowering the treble and the drive, otherwise, has become incomprhensible
low purr, the return powerchords stomach, acute are sharp, the saturation of Modra is extreme
del at 14h, becomes a satanic
playing the legalization, we arrive easily find a good sound
and there is a real grain, not so empty in competing ...
I do not like the top boost bcp has become too acute for me, but it's a matter of taste ^ ^

OVERALL OPINION

Trs good pedals, I regret my purchase at all
even when they could have put a little less Manowar Scriptures, and finally how cheesy, but hey, the fact remains that it is a great product, probably the best in its class (and j 'have something to compare home)

See manufacturer's website, over what was said below.
100% analog.
True bypass.

UTILIZATION

I use it for rock, hard rock and metal.
If you want the sound of metallica, look no further. (I confess I had never imagined having a sound so close with a single pedal).
It goes very well for punk and grunge, see the fuzz, even if it will be a dedicated pedals better.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound, well, it is monstrous)
It was the sound of Pantera, Metallica and so on, very easily.
The only downside, cest if we know this pedal, it will tend to put a lot of acute, while it does not take much, and the medium is not really the mediums, but to warm the sound.
For example if you want to play metallica, heavy rhythmic mode clean and sharp, there is an acute to 3 / 4, MED 1 / 4, a saturated 1 / 2, and boom, they shattered the neighbor)
For shredder, it will almost the reverse adjustable for acute (fourth) and mid (3 / 4).
The top boost is necessary when used, but it must not exceed 1 / 4, if there's a degeu worthy of Star Wars lightsabers. (Or the head in a bee hive, if you prefer)

I use a gibson les paul classic, HB-l/HB-R rise, and sends nasty.
To my surprise, my strat (G & L vintage Fender mounted 57/62) also sends enormously, and is very clean!
I do not even talk about my ibanez.
When was the amp is a classic 30, who had a rotten distortion, but a super clean sound, so I was looking for a good pedal to play the big rock.

In summary, avoid turning the top boost, but feel free to activate it to give a sacred dynamic and has to spend time with mumuse knobs because they are super accurate, and greatly affect the sound.
Avoid the batteries, because it's fast food, prefer the transformer.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for three months, I have tried many pedals (including the famous monster Metal, tube), and none have held more than one week.
EHX I knew only by name, and having read good reviews on some sites and magazines, I started the purchase of this pedal, I found, quite pescimiste being too pricey for me to satisfy (the Metal Monster coutée Me with nearly 220 euros). The metal muff is a damn good grain, compared to its competitors, which sound too flat, too smooth.

I put all 10, but I considered justified, as I note according to my tastes, and for me it is the Holy Grail, and I hesitate to even buy me one second, because by putting two in series I wonder how we can get her

For technical data Repport sites ...
(It consists of the usual settings distortion, bass, mid, TREB more boost which makes a lot more bad ...).

UTILIZATION

As the name suggests this pedal is very big sound access.
Clearly if you are looking for a versatile pedal, funk or even with the distortion of grunge, it's going to be terrible.

SOUND QUALITY

This pedal is very easy to use. turn the knobs set the volume to max and now.

OVERALL OPINION

I was looking for a distortion pedal for a long time, I am completely delighted. I have tried many models (even light). The metal muf not be ashamed of these young ladies tube and for a price quite resonance.
So if you are hairy and want to piss off your neighbors this pedal is for you.
(Even with the button at the disto min, a max saturation ....)

As standard, with an EQ section complete (low medium high), and a boost. see more at EHX site for details, the site is well done.
Note that with these new formats, EHX had the good idea to take a standard format power supply, and that's good!

UTILIZATION

A configuration setting and Zetes, use standard!
Oh yes, anyway, the equalization is very precise and with an impressive flexibility. fourth-hair ass right or left, and the sound is transformed! rather nice, but the grip at the start takes a little patience.

SOUND QUALITY

I tested the input of a Marshall VS100 head (transistor) and in my Classic 30 (tube) and the machine is very good friend avc lamps.

This may be my settings but then the sound is very acute in the marshall, he finds the warmth and body with the classic 30. That happiness.

For my part, I plug an overdrive (the voodoo lab sparkle drive) between the metal muff and the amp. It allows me to round out the sound for solos and sounds more rock than metal. In this case, no need to add gain, it was enough.
of course, you can get those sounds without adding overdrive, but when you need a piece of 2 ...

Distos intended for metal and the like, this pedal gets along well with humbuckers. But it also very well with simple, p90 or strat / tele. the gain level is then lower, but the sound is very good, and the characteristics of these microphones preserved.

One downside in my opinion, the boost is not very versatile. there's hardly nine hours it is exploitable. So, a little advice to EHX to future versions of the bug: throw boost setting, preset in this position, only the switch is sufficient. It'll be a little more pedal, the pedalboard will be happy

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for three weeks at home and repeating. The price / quality ratio is excellent. A 79 euros in playback, it was an effective metal distortion and musical sound, and who knows how to do anything other than metal. to be honest, I turned my other distortion to keep only the one with an overdrive in addition.
A test anyway if possible with their equipment or something equivalent qque because it seems to react differently depending on the configs.

In short, you could try it and well worth the cost!

- Distortion pedal
- Analog technology, true bypass
- Settings: volume, boost, treble, medium, severe distortion
- 2 stompswitch: boost / bypass
- Supply standard

The pedal is very well equipped for this award. The level of finish is very good, the metal casing is sturdy, the knobs are very good.

UTILIZATION

- The use is simple and intuitive:
Volume: To adjust the output level of the pedal
Boost: Sets the boost level a snap
high / medium / low: 3-band EQ very effective
access to spin by two switches

SOUND QUALITY

- Sounds can range from a distortion to the big rock metal loadings. However, the pat on the registry more than neo vintage ... the grain of the pedal is really nice for a pedal of this price range
- I use this pedal on an Ibanez Dimarzio S470DX mounted on a Randall RG50 amp
- I love the sounds obtained and the grain is still very good even in the amount of gain. The EQ is incredibly effective!
- Well thought out and very useful, the boost can sometimes seem a bit garish ...

OVERALL OPINION

- I use for 1 year
- Characteristics for the award were a decisive advantage, the grain I also really enjoyed
- I tried Rocktron Metal Planet, Boss MT2-hearted ... in much higher price ranges, only the Guyatone metal monster is really better.
- Value for money is excellent
- I Refer this choice!

I did not add it, for the price, bought new 90 last year there's really nothing wrong.

UTILIZATION

No problem, you turn, a ring. A lil kick on the top boost, and hop you got is the impression of having more massive rhythm or treble trs sharp. Be careful not to abuse any of the same (I will get back all the time).

SOUND QUALITY

Ben and unlike what one might think that name is one of distortion pedals trs versatile. Far from being only feature DIFFERENT styles of Metal. Sounds of the fire of God. It's fucking distortion and even with a gain two! In fact I do not use both pedals as a big sound for the modern metal. But plutt for a distortion of trs good quality with excellent grain. But it is true that the Metal it here must. Even if the metal becomes you gure will try it. It is suitable for the Hard Rock and muscle.

on the other hand I find to be drawn from the best in Vitantis "the gualisation V", it said in a Vitantis to lower the max frquences mdiums. They can be cut up to 4 maximum, but below is not worth Tripette (purely subjective opinion on this one but if you like the ...). Ms. mdiums with trs 5-6 gives a good sound Metal.

Again all of your gear dpend, but with the gear to beginners makes good. I have an Ibanez GRG170 DX plugs into a Marshall MG15 DFX transistor and a sound!! I no longer use any of the distortion of my Marshall. PDAL this suits me perfectly. While APRS with a better quality of hardware must provide.

So excellent in rhythmic power chords. As against the solo, the acute need to be careful. I put a lot (7 gnral or between 3h and 4h), and the gain is lev means more strokes mdiator. And with the Top Boost, which adds a lot of treble need to be careful not to abuse it too, especially high volume. You could no longer find your eardrums.

Go to the rhythmic and 10/10 8 / 10 for solos. IDAL would be to have two channels with two gualisations diffrent, just to be able to put a lot of gain for rhythm and lead her to have a less distorted for treble less sharp if like me we but many.

Otherwise RAS, and 10/10 in the end!

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a year she will not leave me. I tried only this one and Boss Metal Zone. I do not hsit long, even if the Metal Zone looks good too. The price quality ratio is excellent, no regrets for this award. Hard to get better for the same price. In short a sound modern british plutt (although according to rglages you can have a semblance of its amricain) but sounds good. Trs trs same well. .

OVERALL OPINION

Use for a month
Very versatile for the sound track it has not necessarily made of metal as the name implies
Many other models try Verdict do not buy the other product on the market you would be filled with the Metal Muff for more septic Try the store!

Analog pedal called "Metal Muff" by Electro-Harmnonix.
it is a distortion to which is added a powerful boost and a top effective equalization.
nothing to say the pedal is strong, I ONLY a fault on my model the knob "bass" is poorly positioned, so he does not turn on the axis mm than the other creating a gap, he turns away to + the left and less far to the right. which is fine and serviceable but probably made in the United States .. shame.

UTILIZATION

The pedal is very easy to learn, it immediately takes its bearings and there is little time to find sounds effective.
egualisation the killing is a real, effective and versatile, a real discovery for me who plays Marshall on forever.
the manual is provided as usual.

SOUND QUALITY

That's exactly what I was looking for!
I wanted a modern and powerful in its gain to complete my sound palette (my marshall produces sounds more vintage and limited gain). The headroom seems endless and the grain is still quite clean, not starting in the fuzz. lowering a little the medium (not cut either!) was a heavy sound reminiscent of Pantera, was by adding a more heavy, slayer type. It may even lower distortion and obtain a distortion "lighter" typical Black Sabbath or Iron Maiden.
The top boost channel is very powerful, the knob will rarely 3 or 4! it adds a lot of medium, which changes the texture of the very distortion, really not bad to be heard in a group, but its usefulness stops here as far too powerful.
With my Telecaster US (single microphone) the sound is pretty good, I must say that these are very good microphones and so they do not drool too but with an entry level guitar equipped with simple, I have doubts. .
However with my Aria Pro II features a Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB bridge in this deposit severe! wahoo the slap! is precise and powerful mastered! and even instrument making of this guitar is really mean, I hate to have another scratch doubles with a violin better!

OVERALL OPINION

I do not really regratte this pedal, it really my full range of sounds, well I spend my vintage Marshall JCM2000 to modern and edgy distortion of the Metal Muff in two seconds!
I think it fits better on a guitar equipped with microphones adapted, this pedal can really most styles of metal, heavy, thrash, death .. and retains heat that most pedals have metal .
I remake this choice without hesitation.

Disto mtal! Anyway it was the name of the pedals, but you can do with good old rock, I play no mtal and I am delighted to have the bone purchase without MMEL ' try.
it's analog. I put no because the boost is 10 trs spcial, unusable + 1 / 4 of its travel if it is too strong, too sharp, and finally my gut.

UTILIZATION

As said in other opinions, the qualisation is daunting, you can actually have a big sound with the qual mtal and gain knob, but attention is not the only s'arrte can do many other things, sounds plutt heavy rock, with blues, though not against the gain to a minimum and playing with volume knob of scratching, but it is not his field of pr dilction.

SOUND QUALITY

Trs own distortion effect, full prcis, warm, the distortion I was looking for and I prcise I did not want to sound distortion mtal but warm and trs clean, I'm down delighted that level. I use a gibson sg up to P90, and the fact terrible. APRS I think that this distortion is not too mtal if it is used with a guitar with microphone output level too so if I had pushed a Jackson with EMG active, I do not know if I ''ll have really big rock sound as I wanted but can be more mtal as I do not like . I use a Marshall JTM 30 lamps and a Fender Super Champ XD, 2 on my amp, it sounds trs trs well.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it recently so my advice is take with a grain of salt, I put a notice because the direct branch Premire listens and APRS have reu, t I on cultural level of sound quality, and versatile so I wanted to share my joy and helping guys like me who seeks a distortion "couillue" clean prcise without falling into the big sound mtal hardcore. So especially do not block the name METAL, certainly it can be trs trs even though it may be his calling Premire but for me it has a neat and warmth I n 'have not found in most standard distos say.

It's a big ditortion type metal with a 3-band EQ (Bass, Treb., Mid.) There is a top boost, which is actually a boost of high frequencies, it gives the image brightness to large full metal riff the bass is rather nice as a function. there is a footswitch for on / off and one for aluminum or off boost, but personally, I always open lese.

is analog, and parrait, its sounds great.

Are they edited? Via an editor Mac / PC?? Translation please??

bin as there conection in and out is basic, but it does the job

is a pedal made to be a land so no, it's not meant to be in a rack.

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple, after 10 min. a play, we already took the tour to find the sound you want

the manual? I do not even know if there is one, I have not looked, and I still did not need.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound quality, 10/10 is great in my room, I have a little fender 15 watt ... a good or a bad foot pedal makes no difference, but has a 50 watt lamp, and even a 50 watt solid state, it's great.

I use it with a Stratocaster and a Fender 15 watt amp or a marshall 50 watt

c, is the best distortion''big''I saw a date, I like it a lot, I paid a fraction of the price ($ 40 CAD), but even at its true price (about $ 100 CAD ), I buy it.

it is very polivalente, we can all play the classic rock-type AC / DC when you put the minimum distortion for solos, I'm talking notament cannon rock is grand, the notes are clear, they resonate well the harmonic, I have a Start, so it's not great, but it is where others can not. I do not play a lot of big metal, but when I play, it's silly in a good way).

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a week

I really like the top boost which restores claretée with big riff, I love also his versatility (classic rock, punk, metal, death metal ...) another point is its power for the solos: Divine .

I did not try many models, a few, but a friend of mine who essyer dozens of large distortions says it's the best he has heard, and I don, t have to believe misery .

good, I paid $ 40 is completely sick as deal, but even the regular price, it is worth.

it's on, it's the best distortion I've heard

Another point is that with my fender, the hum is almost innexistant with Marshall, that's another story but ... its worth it, believe me

Therefore, distortion pedals, analog, without lamp.
Easy connection, a cot and one guitar amp.
Knobs and footswitches solid, sturdy design ... it breathes EHX

UTILIZATION

Well, the sound is fairly typical very modern, even with the gain to a minimum.

The active galisaion is TERRIBLE, you can change enormment sound, as a lightweight with a hollow rglage in the mids + gain a background gives you a great sound mtal modern with all the (many) less gain and more mids, it puts you in the 70's.

The top boost is spcial but rgl (trs not strong), it gives more edge and prsence.

SOUND QUALITY

I use it with my Fender Champion 600, and the sound of surprise!
With the amp cranked, the vintage overdrive gives more warmth to the sound, it's my pedals makes the best, as I have a guitar Lag Jet 200 with EMG Hz Test also with EMG 81, it sends the wood.

on the other hand on my old Peavey Transtube 15 (m ****) transo amp sound silent super cold, criada, harmonics Grice ... horror! My pocket pod was better! But a lil light ... Wow!

Beware a noise gate is not too much here, since the gain about the pedals ... see if your amp has gnre lot of noise, and use of quality jacks

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a long time ... a year soon! and I am completely satisfied!

Try before you buy and on the other hand ...

I do it again this choice without hsiter!

Blah, just a t say, but I think some big Casing for PDAL boards, and I do not like the switches that make noise. z'auraient have put the same as the Digitech whammy, but hey, the Casing is solid. Ah, they finally put a power transformer standard ...

UTILIZATION

Easy to use, solid CONTRL simple one pedals, whatever.

SOUND QUALITY

Not bad, its level, but I expected something more hot + is less strident than MT2 acute level, whatever that dpend of rglages. Use with my JS100 and IBZ RG 550 20th and Washburn N2, not bad, we get a big sound mtal, especially if you dig the mediums. The top boost is really hard when pushed to the first del quarter of the way, but it helps to keep some under the foot ....

OVERALL OPINION

Not bad, I dj with a good sound, although mtal, just a shame that we should dvisser the bottom if you want to put a stack and do nothing, I do not the switch that make noise, even if they are solid ..... for 90eur, ok, but I just see the promo 69euros, aaaaargh! but still a good deal, if you want to have a good range of sounds metal. I like him, and mt2, too, is more or less the kind of sound I want.

Said ...

UTILIZATION

Frankly I have 4 minutes to break everything poru find my sound and I did not touch it for 2 hours, the time to toy!
It remains to see if the sound will be repeated as good in my opinion but it should not be rocket science, there are 6 knobs: LEVEL, LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, BOOST and DISTO

I am not yet fully convinced that the boost may be a bit too garish for my taste, to see repeated in solos.

SOUND QUALITY

Big convincing disto! it's the least we can say.
I play a Washburn N2 and a Valvestate 8080 (a good little material but not ecstasy what ...) and the sound that comes from the small boiboîte is downright huge!
I do not know exactly how to explain the sound I was looking for but the pedals still something was missing earlier (MT2 blah blah, HM3 hyper metal yes but it lacks a little something, DOD Metal X idem, Metal core is aps that at all )

We may not be the ultimate pedal but that suits me for the metal I like (MAIDEN, METALLICA, etc ...)

on the other hand I am less convinced by the sound more crunch but it's still fine-tuning because I myself am not retarded, often playing with these sounds ...

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two days and I won!

The pros: great distortion, warm sound, ultra simple settings, etc ...
The -: the Bosst too loud once past the middle of the knob, the sounds crunch

quality / price: € 84 paid on MusicStore not disappointed and so I think a (good) fat distortion at low cost is always a good value for money.
Having an amp like mine so I would do that choice after I intend to change the amp in 2 years and can be distos the amp can fit me but I intend to keep it so yes I would do this choice!
