Sounds good! How does this compare to Electro Harmonix Metal Muff? I'd give the MM the edge due to the TOP BOOST switch (but I've not compared the 2)...
@youngleechow: The sound you describe is exactly what the VM does and it has gain galore so I suggest putting the EQ after the VM to raise the level when soloing. You can use it to further shape the sound but won't need it for this purpose. I don't expect it to get muddy because the VM has a very well defined thrashy low end; I am sure you'll love it.
wondering? i have a an mxr108 e.q. it is armed with a gain control. if i buy this vm will that mxr hinder the signal or turn it to mud with that low flop? thats what i dont want i want to achieve a ton of distortion but keep a nice tight low end with a swept mid ton. Is this possible or should i just leave the eq to the pedal itself?
Allthough it is allmost impossible to get "vintage" with the VM as takes no prisoners, you can get closer by trying the following settings: Gain 1 or 2 (out of 10), Low and Mid 7 (2 o'clock), Freq 2 (9 o'clock) to boost the lower mids and make it smoother, Hi about 5, Volume set to balance clean. Of course you will have to alter these setting to match your other gear but it should be a good starting point and should work until you can get the MOEN Overdrive which is the real deal for crunch.

The VM loves drop tuning and does chords with great definition and power, you'll love it!

Is this mainly a shred pedal?
Does this pedal do drop-tuned sludge rythm guitar well? The drop tuned LP-through-Mesa sound of Isis and such bands.
And how well does this thing do chords? Im looking for a hi gain metal pedal that does chords well, as well.
Other than that, I liked the sound. Im pending between this and the g2d Morpheus.
