MXR Fullbore Metal M116

If you want a bone crushing guitar sound with the density of a black hole, then this is the pedal for you. Subtlety isn’t on the menu here.

Truly a masterpiece pedal here by Dunlop. I'm a huge nu metal player and this caters for that perfectly. If your a player you downtunes and is partial to lots of palm muting mayhem then I strongly recommend this being in your collection. However I recommend playing this through a good amp. :D

Use this for my guitar and bass through a 5w tube, the distortion on this thing makes me want to punch people in the face. It's awesome! Pretty good in terms of dynamics too. However be warned this thing does nothing less than extreme.

Pure filth ... if you are any kind of metal player, this is the pedal you want

I really love distortion pedals and I really love metal. It's rare that I find a distortion pedal that I don't like - although I like some better than others obviously. Over the last 5 years I've owned easily 30 different distortion pedals or more. Some I've sold and others are keepers. I've wanted to buy this Fullbore Metal pedal for at least a couple of years and I finally did last week. It was shocking how awful it sounded. I tried it in my amp's input, I tried it going straight into the return. I spent 30 minutes trying to get even an acceptable sound out of it but it was impossible. All I can say is that it's shocking how bad this sounds. Burzum would hear this distortion and think it sounds too unmusical and has too much treble. There's nothing good I can say about it at all other than it has a gate which works but it just sounds terrible. I really wanted to like it and I really tried to dial it in to an acceptable sound but it was not possible.I honest think this is the worst distortion I've ever used and I would recommend that everyone stay away from it.

The pedal itself is presumably good. Unfortunately I can't use it since it does not actually have a 9V battery compartment anywhere inside the pedal. I do not own the correct power supply either. This pedal does NOT support batteries and is very poorly marketed.The manual which came with the pedal also touts that there is a 9V slot when the back plate is removed. Again, this is not true.

Real metal is distorting guitar sounds the most gentle beast is doing. Users are advised not to ride the gain to the maximum.Sincerely, Karoly Gacs
