-This is a powerful enough distortion, typical big rock and metal.
-Analog technology.
-The six knobs and two switches are trs good quality and look trsrsistants.
-The hull when it is more millimtres mtal pais, no risk.
-There is an LED to show the activation of each switch.

I put 10 because I do not see how it could be better Designed ...

UTILIZATION

-There are 6 knobs:
* Volume
* Top Boost (I later prciserais What is this function)
* Treble
* Mid
* Bass
* Disto

The knobs are trs-sensitive, allowing a large variety of sounds but also warm enough ... rgler the top boost is particulirement INTERESTED: it "heats" the sound, he adds mdiums and gain, it makes your sound more "thick and dense and highlights more harmonics, makes you stand out from others when you play solo
That said, it is boring rgler trs: 0 3 trs is fine but the LED 5 is too sharp and loud: dsagrable damage ... .. .

I put 7 because of the boost function of wrong thinking and the extreme sensitivity of knobs makes it boring rgler.

SOUND QUALITY

A big-trs amount of gain, more than enough big nag like me (see my influences;))
As I cit above the knobs are sensitive trs which offers a large variety of sounds:
While this is PDAL Tiquet METAL (with a questionable look, by the way) is much more versatile than it seems:
Given the heat of the TRS may well play rock, punk and it sounds extremely well Stoner (Kyuss style or Down)

Let her style prdilection: the metal
In a word this distortion is: fat, hot and dense ...
In fact, I t struck by the warmth of the vehicle, I test several of distortion pedals before metal: Metal Zone and Metal Core Boss, Ibanez Smash Box, diverse, and I behringer never had an affair distortion as hot before.

The grain is big and fat, as It is not necessary to push the knob to 12 for a disto disto style metalcore or thrash / death:
I leave the knob of distortion and half way enough to do, I lose the del in precision.

The rhythmic sound is standard and can without difficulty to attack the riffs metallica, lamb of god, or Chimaira.
For his solo against the grate is sometimes boring since the distortion is fat trs, which requires prcis to play (which really is not my case: p)

"I use the Metal Muff between my ibanez valbee (5 watt lamps) and my LTD Eclipse 500 (mahogany + EMG) and is your exact Dtonn!
-The sounds that I love?
Large metal rhythm sound: powerful, heavy, hot and aggressive.
sounds more rock, trs hot fat.

There is no sound that I dtest particulirement, only this lack of finesse in the solos and other ...

I put 8 for high quality and versatility of the pedals that has nanmoins of default (prcision.)

Edit June 2009

It's going to be ending for two years that I use and it fills me as always.
Dsormais I use the clean channel of a head Randall Hybrid (RH300G3 +), Whereas it has more grain and saturated dynamic channel of this amp and gives her a really gnial .

It has an excellent balance between grains and Saturation, a branch of Half Stack, the Muff is rvle Metall prcise and sharp as she is more fat on a bedroom amp.

I currently play in a group of Black Death Metal and I really sound that suits me perfectly, it gre both rhythmic passages that speeds mammoth always the grain and the diabolical power!

In my opinion, a big branch of all-tube head, your exact should MRIT 10/10

OVERALL OPINION

-I bought it there are 4 or 5 months in OCCAZ.
-I like the quality and versatility of the sound (no, sir I did not feel rpter me!)
-As I said above, I tried a few dj MODELS ago, and I sold a zoom G2 for it.
Perso-I got in OCCAZ 60 euros so the price is the foot, but it's worth 100 euros from any fawns.
-I would do that choice with more exprience? We'll see!
Edit June 2009
was going to make ending for two years that I use and I would do if this choice needs 1000 times!
