"The NEW BOSS of distortion pedals."

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Sound:

This pedal is truly AMAZING when I first plugged my guitar into it. It produced a great tone from the start without touching any of the dials except volume, and it just got better as I went on. Currently, I am running a B.C. Rich Warlock through this pedal into a clean 10-watt practice amp (until my behringer combo gets here) and the sound is truly amazing. The low-end is crushing, and you could easily make the high-end scream as well for ear-splitting solos. The sound is so perfect for an 80's metalhead like myself, that I KNEW, from the moment I plugged in, that THIS pedal had my tone. (And, for those of you who are wondering, I have played many different distortion pedals out there, including BOSS, and this one beats them all, hands down.)

Feature:

I hate to give out too may 10's, but the features are top-notch on this pedal, and I would choose this over a BOSS pedal any day.

Ease of Use:

Well, it is a pedal, so plug in, and dial a tone (with the four little dials) that suits you and you will be happy.

Quality:

Built like a tank. I have dropped this thing many times onto the concrete floor of our band room, and it still performs like new.

Manufacturer Support:

I had a minor issue with the first pedal I bought, so I sent it back, and THE NEXT DAY I got my new pedal, free of charge. Best support I have ever used.

Value:

For just about any price, this pedal would be a steal.

The Wow Factor:

Looking a it, the lettering is kind of generic, some creativity there would not hurt, but other than that, it is very desirable.

Overall:

Overall, I will play this until it dies or I do, and it seems that the pedal will outlast me.

"Suprafly."

Sound:

Sounds devine. Seriously. One of the best pedals I've ever used. :D

Feature:

It's incredibly awesome? That comes standard, I think.

Ease of Use:

Very, very easy to use. If you have a brain. 'Cause knobs aren't all that hard to work.

Quality:

Good and metal-y. :0

Manufacturer Support:

Battery consumption. Oh my God. Horrible. AC adapter for this one, sadly.

The Wow Factor:

I'd hit it. :x

Overall:

A very good pedal, to say the least. I would've liked the battery to not die on me /in one day/, but when it's /this/ awesome, I can forgive it. :D

"Read this."

Sound:

I love how you can tweek this baby to anything you want (assuming that all you expect is metal out of this pedal.. hence the name of the product) The Morph knob is an excellent feature. I picked it over the Metal Zone. That thing is too annoying when you try to get the right sound.

Feature:

I like everything aobut it, except when the hi it too high, it really pierces your ears.

Quality:

Great, durable, just... it eats up batteries like nothing I have seen before. It needs 85% of a 9v battery to get running. Just use the 15% and chuck it back in the droor so you can use it for something else. It wont eat the whole thing.... it needs so much to run it.

Manufacturer Support:

No problems.

Value:

It could be a little cheaper, but hey, its a pretty d*mn good pedal

The Wow Factor:

uhh, guitars are sexy, not pedals.

Overall:

buy it

"Like banging your head? this product will do it for you!"

Sound:

The Metal Master is so adjustable to your taste. A good thing is to listen to some old slayer songs (dittohead etc) and compare them with their new album (God hates us all). you can come pretty close to their sounds both how they sound now and then, everything in between is ofcourse there also :).

Feature:

want i new sound? just switch the morph knob and adjust the controls. It is like a Metal time machine! you can go wherever you want.

Quality:

nothing is broken, and i have had it for five months, carrying it around.

Manufacturer Support:

have no idea?

Value:

for this price you can`t get any other more flexible stomp box!

The Wow Factor:

It is like the sound, black,hard and raw!

Overall:

i think i never will be buying another dist, (perhaps if it is in a preamp)
