Metal Muff + EMG 81/85

[przesborn]

@GrandRiffAuto73

Man but he is right , or maybe not with that " blues and shit " but still a lot of ppl who review metal muff plays BLues , Rock xP And you supossed to play metal !

[element713851]

The reason why its sounds like that is because he is playing riffs with the top boost on! The top boost is meant for lead solos, its not meant to be played like this. I have this pedal an it melts faces!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[emrocks951]

i like the variety of sounds i get from my digitech metal master but the extra noise i seem to get from it i annoying.

[bpetrozza69]

DEMONIAC "FUCKING" POSSESSION !!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH !!!

[flagnarg1]

POWERSCREMER!!!!!!!!!!!1

[FeelTheDeadWeight]

Divebomb scared the fucking shit outta me

[MrHALOCOUST]

Best couple YEAHHH! Metal muff+ emg 81-85 and good rifs

[TheWelder1989]

I really do the like MM but your set up sounds to fake, like attack of the robots or some shit.

[bloodyfool23]

@TheWelder1989 That's cos his Mids are turned all the way down, hence you get that shitty, computer-y sound that these crappy nu-metal bands use.

[cacarral]

Kind'a broke my erphones

[YaYoTr0n]

DEMONIAC POSSESSION!

[Examinerthrash]

FINALLY!! someone who plays fuckin METAL with a METAL pedal and not blues and shit.. sounds great..

[GrandRiffAuto73]

@Examinerthrash I should just fucking stab you for that comment

[Antsurkov]

I was scared when i press "play" =D

[chainsawvenom]

pentragram and sabbat

[slaytanic1982]

is pentagram ...demoniac possession????

[r4ng3b0y2011]

everyone thinks if u buy this pedal u will sound like this! lmao its not in the pedal its in the PLAYER!

[HoosierLine]

Those loud, hi screeching squeals at the beginning sounds like my goddamn dentist with his frigg-in drill. I guess he aspires to be a metal guitarist ( :

[dontbannme]

ow.... my soul

[ltownrocker133]

I personally use a Boss Metal Zone, its pretty metal

[jacobtheguitarfreak]

Lol. Typical scooped shit tone.

[yopeterman]

@jacobtheguitarfreak the mids are higher than the lows and highs you fool.

[jacobtheguitarfreak]

@yopeterman But it's a metal distortion pedal and still sounds pinched and EQed as fuck.. Use your ears, not your eyes. I play a Gibson with PAFs into an Orange with the mids pushed, so I should know what midrange sounds like.

[yopeterman]

@jacobtheguitarfreak it's clearly the webcam that isn't picking up the mids properly. and congrats on your gear.

[jacobtheguitarfreak]

@yopeterman Whatever. I commented what I wanted to on this video, because thats how it sounds to me. Thats my opinion. And you know what I meant when I mentioned the gear, you asshole. I dont feel like getting into a stupid fucking youtube argument with you. It's a waste of time. Find a hobby instead of commenting on people's opinions to try and start shit on youtube. thanks.

[whitelotus808]

sounds like dime playing. it has that really abbrsasive distortion to it.

[Igrandov]

should i get the electro harmonix metal muff or the seymour duncan twin tube mayhem? im sorta leaning towards the metal muff.

[TASolutions]

I hear some Dimebag in there....

[linkhackerneo]

holy fuck! i need this!

[DarkMyths95]

i have emgs and am ordering thiis pedal 2moro

[Stingray7667]

I had this cranked when I played it on my computer holy fuckin harmonic at the beginning jesus wasn't exactly expecting that.

[6thMagic]

0:13 Pentagram's Demoniac Possession?

[arnagok]

tooooo much distortion your pickups already have a lot of treble 

[Zaspor]

@arnagok +1 holy fuck, dunno what people are raving about here, sounds like fuzz on top of fuzz on top of treble at 10 with everything else at 0

[Moustachio101]

@Zaspor

Some people just like Fucktonnes of distortion.

I have this pedal, if you roll back the gain a little bit, turn up the mids and keep the Treb and Bass at about 12, then it really has a sweet old school metal tone to it.

It's not just fuzz on fuzz with the treble on 11 if you use it right ;)

[Jayysonic]

are you at the dentist?

[idshanks]

@Jayysonic XD, epic observation

[ChaserHUN]

I have a metal muff but my tone is still not as crusing as I want it. I have a Cort X-2 and a Solton CHorus Line 100. Whats should I get first new pickups or a new amp?

[Ercanica]

@ChaserHUN both...

[locohellraiser]

damn i've got the metal muff now i need some emgs :P

[Sanctiondeath]

The first song is demoniac possession!! from pentagram!!! the best metal band of my country chile!!! Great distortion!!!!

[TheGuitarkid15]

dude, to Slaughter, the next thing you need now is a bigger amp, i reccommend a Hartke Piggyback GT60, uses a tube for that nice warmth, plus its only 200$ on Daddys.com

[Sto0pidPenguinPro]

How much is this thing? I must have it

[thrashtildeth247]

turn off the top boost!!! it would sound way better for wasur playing

[Skid20055]

I have that thing and it sounds like a horse being fucked in the butt.

[yungbubbabush]

metal muff+ emg's = where's my head?

[tebyguitar]

wow ke tono muy bueno

[muzmurder3]

sounds brutal, damn man, im jealous :(

[m0y86]

Nice!!! I would use this on a Ibanez GRG121EX and a Laney LX12 and I think it's gonna sound really goood!!

[nicwilson89]

Haha i've got a metalmuff, fucking love the thing

[Jacksonfreak09]

people need to learn how to mic their amps when doing these tests. But what I have found out is the good guitar tones still sound good with the camera mics, just not as good obviously

[topografer]

Lol i don't wanna leave in a world that the midrange is the bad part of a guitar tone

[kimkikki]

HEY MEN DON'T NEVER BUY THE METAL MUFF AND THE DIME DISTORTION!i've had both of them and they REALLY suck!!is much better the distortion of my zoom g2 that i've payd 40 euros!before buy those little children toys,listen to them in a guitar shop,because they are expensive and can give you a huge depression!!!

[topografer]

@kimkikki yes they both suck but so does suck the distortion in your zoom pedalboard. Good distortion pedals are the hardest pedals to find.

[kimkikki]

@topografer you're right.good distortion pedal don't cost around 100 bucks.check out the CICOGNANI DRAGON TUBE DISTORTION,it's fucking amazing,or even the H&K tubeman.the problem is the price.but to play with metal muff is a calvarium.best pocket peda i'ever eard is the boss metal core,but its quality is childish.ciao dall'italia!!

[reaper11494]

Highly recomended for good tonal quality: Bass:8.5 Mids:1-4 Highs/Treble: 7-9 put it on the 85(bridge) and go at it.

[19jake95]

I would recommend Seymour Duncan's over EMG's by far, I'd say you get a much stronger and versatile tone from them, thoughts??

[THEMACKOG]

wow this video sucks big black 12 inch dicks

[mod411]

@THEMACKOG

awesome comment XD

[ackbarz13]

too much gain...

i can't hear the tone

[Angst1234]

top boost shouldnt be on for regular playing boosts those mids way too much + mids are already pretty damn high on those settings + other fucked up eq + running this beauty of a pedal through a shitty amp = this mess

[Krizay661]

this pedal seriously is amazing. this video just doesnt do it justice.

if you look, the fucking mids are higher than the treble. whoever posted this video doesnt know how to get a good sound.

[varulv234]

I'd recommend something like this: Bass: 8.5, Mids: 7.5 and treble around 9, gain around 8, bridge pick-up and something like 8-9 tone, i love that tight bottom end that sound gives. Tell me what you think=)

[deviantan021]

i was considering buying this pedal, but after viewing some videos i am now convinced that it sucks hard.

guitar + cable + nice valve amp = win

[tubitooxuulo]

this vid suck

[wischmobber]

what the Fuck?! why guys are posting such shit?

[UomoNeroMetallaro]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh too much noise!!! it's impossible to understand something! O.o

Seymour Duncan Invaders they are a lot better than EMG's...I think the best distortion the Ibanez TS-9...it's like an overdrive but you can make terrible noise and heavy metal, but you can still hear the notes very good...

[luisfernan0]

a quien estan taladrando jaja XD buen video salu2

[nourriex]

that sounds like shit!

[TommittajaFIN]

:D and the pinch harmonic? that was terrible :D

[19jake95]

Please for the love of god, buy seymour duncans !!

[TommittajaFIN]

what kind of? i've got invader on bridge. love it

[JessyDevilVendetta]

dude dont hate the pic ups just coz yo ass cant use em

[visine666]

this pedal its true bypass?

[JessyDevilVendetta]

yeah

[themaster666able]

Dam i bought a line 6 effect pedal for almost 400 dollars and i hate the whole process and confusion to bring a tone i like. With this i so easy to use and very amazing response with the amp your getting the best deal for i believe is 89 dollars. Im going to sell my line 6 pedal now.

[johntygesen]

what would you suggest i buy..this one or MXR metalbore?

[Mayhem3033]

im sorry but this pedal sucks. Id rather play just out of my life 6. sic playing though

[RazorRoundMyNeck]

It sounds so tinny cause he's got the top boost on, it's supposed to be for solos, not rhythm, this thing sounds awesome otherwise

[cobraopts7]

line 6 amps suck very muddy sound

[JoelLara]

so what if it's muddy, some people like that sound. Everyone has their own opinion and taste on amplifiers. Marshall gets half of its profit just by the name. just because a popular musician uses a certain amp, that doesn't mean everyone else has to.

[cobraopts7]

i never said get a gay ass marshall is said dont get a line6 the sound is muddy so harmonics come out poor the balace of mids bass and highs are just way out of balance making heavy songs sound the same a normal amp with a effects pedal will sound heavier and solos will sound alot crisper and line6 make static sounds near electrical equipment

[JoelLara]

wow you're chock-full of dissing on both sides of the spectrum aren't you? you don't like marshall nor line 6 even though both are used by very many guitarists including popular ones. you must be a first act faggot because you obviously have no respect for amplifiers. what the fuck kind of amps do you play on?

[cobraopts7]

i dont use marshall and line 6 thats it marshall is a mainstream company the reason why people use them is because marshall pays out the ass for there indorsies and then people think since artists use ill buy one people use line 6 because its a cheap way to to get a heavy sound i admit its better than many distortions out there but when it comes to a good amp that your not paying for the name and a good distortion they sound better than line6 and marshall amps also cursing makes you look dumb

[AwfulVision]

Muddy isn't a sound anyone shoots for. Some people like their sound dark, or with cut mids, or bottom heavy but no one wants muddy.

Muddy sounds like a cheap amp through cheap speakers.

Buying a Marshall amp means you're getting quality, not just a name. Oh, and by the way, if you ever want to sell your amp, that "name you're paying for" will let you get way more of your investment back than a no-name cheapo amp.

[JoelLara]

@AwfulVision

You may say no one wants a muddy sound but believe me, there ARE people out there who want a different sound than just cut mids and high treble/bass. You have no proof to show that you interviewed every guitarist in the world and asked if they like Line 6. I will stick to my word no matter what you tell me. There are people who enjoy using Line 6.

[crawlbat89]

@AwfulVision haha That's funny i have a crate v32 that's a combo amp. And it has more of a original Marshall sound than most Marshall's now days have.And i didn't pay a fortune for it becuase of a name :P

[Yungblade41]

i agree, a dirty sound is good, muddy is like a wet bucket of shit, dont want to get that tone

[JoelLara]

ohh is that why there's so many reviews saying it's one of the best pedals out there? i understand you have your opinion but coming to a metal muff video and running your mouth off saying it sucks is a very moronic on your part.

[amazingaustin13]

nice harmonic squel

i tried this pedal out at my guitar store

it just looks realy badass and it sounds awsome

[BrightestBlackSheep]

thats what im talking about all the vids ive seen for this pedal have passives. i have an 85/81 set up i can already tell how this pedal will most likely sound. I played through it at guitar center through a vox with passives it was alright but emgs with my 80s peavey heritage w/black widow speakers...oh yeah.

[Indark2007]

Well... I listened to your MXR... talk about holy crap... It isn't any better then the muff... Gate is nice, but you don't need that if you play your guitar correct. Metal Muff is great.

[sacanix]

Ohh really?! Come on. Of which planet are you from?!

Metal Muff close of MXR M116 sounds like an radio old.

MXR M116 has more gain and is more heavy than Muff.

MXR M116 is awesome! It's the best pedal for metal that I used. I have an Metal Muff and i'm selling it.

[sim0nst3r]

heavier isn´t always better.

an metal?,learn how to write

[amazingaustin13]

there's realy heavy but when u get enought gain it sounds like shit

[kimkikki]

@Indark2007 i believe that you can be one of these 3 things:1)an electro harmonix employer.2)a new metal teenager 3)a completely unuseful player.i say this because everyone that recommend this pedal haven't already compreand the meaning of life.PEOPLE this pedal is pure shit.trust my modest words,it's dirty,noisy,the top boost is unuseful due to its shitty tone.if you are searching for an amazing distortion check the CICOGNANI DRAGON DISTORTION with tubes.

[Indark2007]

@kimkikki Well I am just someone who will get a good tone out of everything. Maybe that is something you still have to learn. It's all about the player right? Along with my Metal Muff I also have own Line6 HD147, a Marshall, some other distortions. Metal Muff is NOT my favorite. That I will give you, BUT it is not so bad as YOU want it to be. Concernning this Cicognani Dragon Distortion. In near future I will try that one too. Ohw and I play music for about 28 years now and you?

[Andreith24]

wow this would fry my amp instantly :P

[AlfredoMetalWarrior]

:Q______ i love this pedal!!!!!!

[Vilechild666]

I have metal muff with top boost andEMG 81/85

for a awesome metal sound:

Volume: 1 oclock

Top boost: 9 oclock

Treble: 4 oclock

Mids 9 oclock

Bass: 2/3 oclock

Distortion: Max

[DAMAGE666INC]

i have a boss mt2

but my eq is treble and bass near max

and mids down for a really scooped sound and throw a 10 band eq w/ smiley face setting for an even more scooped sound

[samfisherkillu]

wooooo dime squels

[JONNYmcLAUGHLIN]

could someone plz do a vid on how to change passive pickups to these emgs in a les paul

[FlipsGTS]

u can easily do it with the description..... but for les paul u need to order them with "longshaft-potis"

[jKazej]

Sounds pretty damn evil.

[kurtistucker027]

Way to sharp sounding.

[flamelance50166]

omfg i didnt know if that was a harmonic or the devil screaming

[rodol21fo]

isnt it cute?? u cant say no...

Really, im getting this pedal with an ltd bass... playing hardcore and using it for breakdowns!! ^^

[metalgirl0]

I love the tone

[rorrovale]

mi stratocaster falsa con el ampli de regalo que le venia mas el digitech metal master suena mejor D:!

[296801]

I often use pedals but nothing matches the amps distortion i use. lol

[whitehair024]

you made the children cry :|

[lantyboy]

@whitehair024 LOL

[Voochl]

terrible sound...!

[benjas1212]

awesome sound!!

[Voochl]

you're drunk....

[gijoechris123]

i think it sucks :/ too much distortion isnt always good, however i love distortion i never turn on my amp without it, but this is too mcuh

[rodol21fo]

u can level it, so, it will be too much because of ur own fault, it is his taste, but this is a great pedal, for the price and with lower distortion sounds betta

[iFuckYOUcoZiCan]

good.... ;) tell him again...coz he did not understuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuud

[asklcnvivdf]

The ML-2 was kinda bassy for me. I love my Metal Muff however.

[DxsupermanxD]

haha ML-2 is really trebbly for me :L

[Tzuqris]

so... why no treble and why do you have the top boost cranked so high, not so much making it high gain as high noise

[Jardweirdo]

how about boss metal zone?

[0ftheWALLS]

Shit pedal

[rhynocerous988]

They can be modded to sound excellent though.

But since these are very close in retail price, this is the better stompbox by far.

[0ftheWALLS]

hmmm, takes time and money to mod anything.

IMO metalzones suck altogether. So do EMG's for that matter.

[uberboss77]

the boss metal core is really nice though

[dimebagfan01]

Definitely not. The Metal Core and the Metal Zone suck ass. The metal zone is better though.

[SlashSnakepit93]

Come fa a fare quei fischi all'inizio del video???????? RISPONDETE VI PREGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[hardchord666]

i still think that the best pedal ever made is the du hast (look it up)

[sesstreets]

I can't tell if you're serious...

[BeyondBreakingRocks]

hes serious, its called the amt "du hast" its actually pretty nice sounding

[sesstreets]

Yeah but this is a freaking metal muff right here. Theres really not much on the same level.

[forgetfulguy1305]

Holy shit!!! You achieved that BRUTAL sound, with just a Laney LG12 and a pair of EMGs!?!?!?

Wow! That Metal Muff is REALLY insane! =O

[Slaughter999]

yeah !!! It's really but really insane !!!

[inloveofmariana]

good combination man.............and killer sound.....what guitar do you use?.. and what amp?

[Slaughter999]

uso un ampli Laney de 12 watts LG12 y una fender squier a la cual le puse una pastilla emg 81 en el puente

[greendaysimpleplan18]

brother!! no manches, yo también tengo una squier y un laney!! y el pedal también a fuerza, es el mejor pedal de distorción en mi opinión.

ROCK ON!

[IndianMetalHead333]

:O beasty.

[quinnmyster]

Sounds edge, sort of.  Great tone!

[JohnMayer07]

Wankery!

[StrongerThanAll101]

Sound killer!!!
