I see a lot of people whining about this guy not playing metal and I have to say that this review more than any other on Youtube has convinced me to buy a Metal Muff. As he points out, just because it says "Metal" on the case doesn't mean that it has to be used for Metal. It's not like there's a shortage of people demoing the Metal Muff by playing Metal, so even though he isn't playing the sort of music I play - Post-Rock/Shoegaze - it's refreshing to see what else it's capable of.
dude tune ur fucken guitar ive seen so many reviews and so far youve managed to make pedal look like crap! and its a metal pedal its not ment to play sum queer as alternative bullshit
wow really nice to hear someone finally CAN use this awesome pedal!
every other tester plays childish metalish lame stuff with it like my little sister when she was 11. this pedal is far more versatile than that. nice playing, great pedal.
I am no expert, but I suspect that a decent tube amp and a well tuned instrument would sound better than this. If you need a distortion unit, get the full sized Metal Muff with the tone controls.
Why is that every review on this makes it sound deadly except for this one. I tried one at a store and it sounded like this one. What are we doing wrong?
This sounds like pure shit... the purest of shit. Not good for metal. Not good for anything other than shit. At least not that tone that he showed off.
the only thing i can think of is a Line 6 pod X3 live dude. there isn't really a great sounding pedal just for metal. and with the X3 live you can create your own sound...
Please remove this review or re-record it. You're making people believe the product sounds shitty, when the only shitty sounding thing here is your horribly recorded demo. You're losing business. This demo is so horrible sounding, you're likely costing Electro Harmonix money. Read the posts on this clip. You're doing the product a great injustice and you're screwing yourself over as a seller of this product. CORRECT THIS.
I see your point and mine is: Why do they put this guy to demo a metal dist pedal? Clearly, he doesn't play metal.They gotta put a guy that actually plays metal and throws in some heavy riffs.
Actually I believe this is a kind well sounding pedal but, WHY THE HELL DOES HE KRANK THE GAIN?! Pretty much every pedal would sound like shit when you do that.
wooaahh that scares the crap out of me...not for my tastes i would better mix other pedals and control my knobs for getting a more chrunchy, muffled sound.
this thing sounds like total crap who the fuck would wana buy this ..eww this is a discrace to metal pedals every where ... just go but a line 6 uber metal pedal or a boss pedal.....
WOW..... go get guitar lessons, a tuner and an amp that is not already on a gain setting..... nice job a ruining an awesome pedal from the best pedal makers in the world!
yes but depending on the distortion filter some pinch harmonics don't come through as well as you'd expect them. For example on my practise amp I can barely hit any.
Don't get this until you have upgraded your amp. It will sound terrible. I suggest you either go for a B-52 AT-112 or a Peavey Valveking. Both are affordable, decent metal amps. Then buy this ^
I'm looking at an Orange Tiny Terror Head + Orange PPC112 1x12 Cabinet.
How's that for an upgrade?! Since Orange isn't much of a heavy style company, I can run this through their amazing new tiny amplifier, once I get my Orange.
No. I have no reason to, the thing's great for what it is. Incredible sustain, thick tones, all I need. Check it on the internet: anyone else who's tried one will say the same.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The Metal Muff (in all of it's incarnations) is truly a disgrace to EHX. It's the most generic pedal they've ever made. You don't need a pedal with the word "metal" in it's name to get a good metal sound.
get the real metal muff people..u will not be disappointed. and obviously this dushe doesn't know how to use it to begin with..not defending this pedal, there is only one real metal muff except no substitution.
this review really sucks, and def soundz good on other reviews, the dude is like "oh I'm in a hurry, ok yeah thats it ok, oyeah got to go" poor metal muff
I have a digi death metal and it sounds like crap on both my lin6 and my crate stack...but it sounded great on the behringer amp at the store. I use a fulltone usa overdrive with boost and a ds-1 together for metal...It sounds awesome
sounds too much like a big muff for metal playing, I like the big muff sound but its sloppy attack that this pedal also has makes it no good for metal
This man did actually make a decent pedal sound awful didn't he? Please tell me it isn't just me....

then 9th fret on a string and 7th fret on d string pull off to 6th fret on d string while still on 9th fret on a string
the other part i haven't figured out but it's the chords are very similar
start with11th fret d string and 9th fret g string to 1th fret d string and 8th fret g string to 11the fret a string and 9th string d string

Don't get this until you have upgraded your amp. It will sound terrible. I suggest you either go for a B-52 AT-112 or a Peavey Valveking. Both are affordable, decent metal amps. Then buy this ^
