  REcensione di James... ( traduzione ) migliora questa traduzione "Mesa in a box"

  Caratteristiche

  Standard distortion box layout. Bass middle treble. Boost, volume, gain. Pedal is digital and I don't believe it's true bypass judging from my ears. Seems solid though. I actually had one of these years ago and recently bought one to see if I still liked it. Neither have had issues. Although they guzzle batteries quickly. I suggest getting line power.

  Facilità d'uso

  First thing is first. The boost isn't really that usable to me. It changes the volume but also the tone, very drastically. It changes the tone so much that it's like you turned on another pedal or something. So I really never use it. You would think EHX would fix this. The knobs also have some odd tolerances and sometimes turning something just a notch can have a dramatic effect on the sound. I have to duct tape my knobs once I get the settings right or I'll bump them and ruin the sound. Overall it's not a perfect design in utility.

  Qualità del Suono

  Here's what's good. If you feed this into a Fender or Fender style clean channel, it turns the amp into a mesa rectifier for all intents and purposes. Everyone is always looking for that high gain in a box pedal that doesn't sound like a bunch of flies buzzing around. This is that pedal. It's very defined and chunky gain. Probably one of the best recto simulators I've ever played. It isn't to be confused as a fuzz though. While the gain does have a fuzzy quality this is not a fuzz pedal.

  Opzioni Generali

  It does have its functional flaws and the boost changing the tone is a big let down. Some players might not be as bothered by this. The sound is next to amazing and I'm chocked at how this can turn a very sterile clean channel into a full on high gain mesa lead channel. I'm not a fan of distortion pedals over overdrives but this one has impressed me continually.

  Caratteristiche

  The Electro-Harmonix Metal Muff with Top Boost is an analog distortion pedal. The “Top Boost” feature boosts certain frequencies for solos and has its own level control. It can be powered by 9 volt battery or the included power adapter.

  Facilità d'uso

  The Metal Muff is extremely easy to use. It has six knobs and two buttons. It has a knob for the Top Boost level, gain, lows, mids, highs, and over all volume. One footswitch turns the pedal on and off and the other engages the Top Boost. I briefly glanced over the manual, but the pedal is so self explanatory there is almost no need for it.

  Qualità del Suono

  I use the Metal Muff with a Gibson Les Paul Custom and a Guild S-300D. In my experience I have found that there are not a wide variety of USABLE tones in this pedal. The equalization knobs tend to have one, possibly two, sweet spots in their range of motion. Any more or any less and the tone becomes too harsh or too stifled. I actually think having the Top Boost engaged with the knob set to about 8 o’clock makes the whole pedal sound better and I will often leave it on all the time. This pedal has massive amounts of gain on hand. I usually keep the gain knob set anywhere from noon to 3 o’clock.

  Opzioni Generali

  The Metal Muff has a ton of potential, I only wish it had a more user friendly EQ. J.D. Cronise from The Sword uses one for his distorted tone and it works extremely well for him. I would recommend demoing this pedal with the same make and model amp you own before buying. Knowing what I know now I probably would have gone with a different high gain distortion box. For now it will remain the back up distortion pedal in my rig.

  Caratteristiche

  The is a very heavy analog distortion pedal. The model I played had a sick feature called top boost. It can't be edited through a computer, and it's not rackable. It's got your basic 1/4" input and output, and has a power adapter.

  Facilità d'uso

  The sound effects editing is pretty easy. There are six controls on this pedal. (Volume, Top Boost, Treble, Middle, Bass, and Distortion). The distortion knob controls gain, while the Top Boost function contributed to the higher end of your tone, making the aggressive sound of the Metal Muff better for heavier stuff. The manual explains everything pretty clearly, but it would probably only require one good read-through anyway.

  Qualità del Suono

  This thing is one of the more intense distortion pedals I've ever played. I was curious to see how it would compare to its cousin, the more famous Big Muff. The main thing I noticed was the name was no joke; this is a metal pedal through and through. As such, its appeal is limited. I personally grew out of metal years ago, and I feel as though this pedal doesn't deliver the midrange that I love so much in the Big Muff. I also feel like the regular big muff has all the distortion I want, but also a lot more warmth than the Metal Muff. As such, I wasn't such a huge fan. A metal player who prefers early 90s and late 1980s tones (Dimebag Darrell, Metallica) might really dig this pedal. The top boost feature especially makes it cut through some of the more dense mixes, and gives your leads a piercing tone that really kills it. However, the lack of midrange sort of kills the pedal for me in my book, as it doesn't do any other genre much justice. It's too bland to be used in a rock context, especially since it's got sort of an artificial brightness. Metal isn't my thing, but if it was, I'd probably be using this guy a lot more.

  Opzioni Generali

  I have to say, I like the sheer power that this pedal has. Sometimes if you're in the mood to create a lurching metal riff, you need just the right pedal, and this is certainly good for that. However, I usually demand more versatility out of my pedals. I don't think that this pedal is particularly versatile at all, in fact, its frustratingly monotonous. I think that for the price, it's not bad. Certainly metal players looking for a really good tone would be well-advised to spend a lot of money on this. However, I don't really think that it's worth it for anyone else. Other players would be well-advised to check out the other Electro Harmonix distortions for more variety, and incredible quality.

  Caratteristiche

  (Originally written by dimebag hammett/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
  
  Analog distortion, no tube inside.
  
  
  
  9-volt operation.
  
  
  
  Made in the USA.
  
  
  
  Very sturdy housing.

  Facilità d'uso

  Ultra-easy configuration, no need for a user's manual:
  
  
  
  - Volume control
  
  
  
  - Three-band EQ (treble, mid, bass)
  
  
  
  - Distortion control
  
  
  
  Convenient Booster function.

  Qualità del Suono

  The most important thing is that the sound is HUGE.
  
  
  
  You can see what kind of music this pedal was made for just by looking at it, and its sound will only confirm that! Typical fat heavy metal distortion. If you turn up the Mid and Treble controls you'll get a typical 80's thrash metal sound and you'll feel the need to play "Seek and Destroy". I like a very hollow sound with loud lows and highs and almost no mids. The sound is very fat and palm mutes sound amazing (I play a Jackson DK2L with Seymour Duncan pickups).
  
  
  
  The boost function increases the volume. Even though it changes the sound color it's perfect for solos. Don't turn the knobs all the way because the sound becomes awful.
  
  
  
  I give it a 9/10 because of the boost function, which increases the volume a bit too much. Otherwise the pedal is perfect. I also thought about buying the Dime Distortion... If you are in the same situation, think about it before spending a fortune to get the distortion of our late master.

  Opzioni Generali

  I've been using it for several months. I have a 40-watt solid-state Peavey Transtube Envoy 110 and I tested it also with a Laney HCM15R. This pedal provides really good results with every amp! I previously played a Lag Jet 100ML and now i have a Jackson with a mind blowing sound. Cons: the boost function, use it with care. The typical heavy metal look is a matter of taste... I personally like it :D.
  
  
  
  Excellent value for money (I bought just when ts priced dropped so I got the Metal Muff at the price of a Little^^).
  
  
  
  Based on my experience I would buy it again, even if the Dime Distortion is still one of the best distortion pedals for me. But this MM is a very good choice and I don't regret at all having bought it!!

  Caratteristiche

  (Originally written by valvamp/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
  
  Analog distortion pedal without tube but with boost.
  
  
  
  6 controls:
  
  
  
  Volume
  
  
  
  Top boost (level and high-frequency booster)
  
  
  
  Treble
  
  
  
  Mid
  
  
  
  Bass
  
  
  
  Distortion
  
  
  
  Dual footswitch:
  
  
  
  Distortion bypass
  
  
  
  Top Boost
  
  
  
  Powered with a 9-volt PSU Made in the USA (New York), ultra rugged steel housing.

  Facilità d'uso

  Very simple configuration, plug and play! All controls are very effective. I recommend you to avoid extreme boost settings otherwise you'll get a shrilling sound. I personally adjust the mid frequency range and the sound is perfect for palm mute playing. For high-energy rhythm parts, simply increase the distortion intensity on your amp. If you turn the distortion control more than halfway you'll get a pretty heavy distortion. The Metal Muff is faithful to its name: it cannot provide good crunch sounds but it does provide everything from 80's glam rock to grunge, to thrash and black metal. The distortion has a typical US character so Vox and Marshall fans should look for something else!!
  
  
  
  The user's manual is not very useful since it only explains control functions. But you won't need more information.

  Qualità del Suono

  Good quality distortion pedal. It's a nice analog unit that'll rock your socks off. The boost function is perfect for soloing but watch out for extremely high settings or you'll get really nasty highs!
  
  
  
  This pedal gives you a nice metal sound both with EMG and Fender pickups.
  
  
  
  For the same price as similar products from Boss and others you get a two-in-one pedal and a much better manufacturing quality!

  Opzioni Generali

  I bought it a few hours ago after testing BOSS, Rocktron and Digitech products. The boost function and the American manufacturing are clear advantages, the 3-band EQ gives you much more versatility than a single tone knob, and the overall quality is good.
  
  
  
  I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again!
