www.ToneFactor.com - This video shows a few different settings on the Fullbore for classic metal riffs. . Stay tuned for Part 2, shich shows the Fullbore used for both rhythm and lead guitar in the context of a modern metal song. The MXR M-116 Fullbore Metal has many features but only one goal, to create to most punishing distortion known to man and pack it into a small bulletproof case. Mission accomplished!
The MXR M-116 Fullbore Metal features killer features for having such a small footprint. As with any distortion there is a Volume knob and Gain knob. In addition, there is a Frequency knob that allows you to sweep the mids based the distortion tones you are looking for. Speaking of Mids, there are separate controls for Low, Mid and High so you have complete control over the sounds you produce just like you will have complete control over the audience. Switches control Scoop which boost the Highs and Lows for that modern metal tone and Gate which activated a switchable noise gate for the ultimate metal sounds. The Gate has an internal threshold control you you can set the sensitivity of the gate feature. All this is packed into a cool looking unfinished die cast case. MXR has done it again.

Features:

Three Band EQ w/ Sweepable Mids
Switches for Gate & Scoop
Built-in Noise Gate
Small MXR size case
True Hardwire Bypass
Three LEDs
All Analog Circuit Path

1 Year Limited Warranty
