For the meanest metal imaginable!

Levels of grinding gain and singing sustain previously unattainable without the use of powerful tube amps at high volume. Hybrid tube/solid state distortion circuitry gets it all, from subtle overdrive to extreme saturation worthy of the blackest metal. 3-band equalization with a parametric mid to cover the sweet spot between 200-5kHz allows for a range of brutal tones, including the scooped mid sound of Metallica or Pantera. Where other distortions aren't enough, this kills. Includes power supply.

Guyatone MM-X Metal Monster Tube Distortion Features:

• Hybrid tube/solid statge distortion circuitry
• 3-band equalization with parametric mid control

Awesome warm distortion for cold metal music

Reviewer's Background: Solo player

Reviewer's Play Style: metal

This pedal is a grinding metal masterpiece. I heard demos of this thing, and I said, "every other distortion on my pedalboard is history..." The great thing about the MM-X is the tube. Let that thing heat up for ten minutes while playing, then you get amazing harmonics and sustain. The gain doesn't need to be all the way to be extreme saturation either, but when I cranked it, the gain proceeded to put every pedal and effects box I own to shame. Sure that price is a bit high, but when you hear the MM-X burning with rage, you'll understand. Construction is solid enough, metal pedal, tube protected by a grate, smooth-turning knobs and a decent on/off switch. If you want brutality and the warmth of tubes, consider the MM-X Metal Monster.

Plastic input jacks

The pedal has a great sound. The mid scoop controls can let you get any tone from ac/dc to heavy death metal. The plastic input jacks scare me a little bit because I have a Russian muff and the jacks on that have broken a couple times, and I mean if I'm dropping this much cash on a pedal I want it to be durable, but other than that no problems after 3 months of use.

Ok, I didn't need another distortion pedal, I only own 6 other heavy metal stomp boxes. But one day I decided to see what else was out there, and ran in to this beast. Not even wanting to purchase it right on the spot my girlfriend says hey how about that for a b-day present, sweet. Upon getting it I plug it in thinking I'm going to end up with some other sound alike metal pedal, I sit in awe. This thing really does what I've only dreamed about. Super awesome tone for just about everything I threw into it. And the whole noisieness some people were talking about I still havent found. Anyway great pedal with mega tone and definition.

Great pedal

I really liked the pedal...I have a lot of very high end heads and this gets a quality tone and is pretty versatile as well...It has a quality tone in all the spectrums and doesn't sound thin or digitized. I am confident that if you like a thick, rich, heavy sound, you will be pleased with this product. It is a bit noisy however if you are using a high gain amp, you should have some type of a hush or gate anyway...if you do not, I strongly suggest the decimator by ISP technologies.

i got this pedal last march and i must say that it has got to be the best distortion pedal i have ever played through. i also have a boss mega distortion, which is great, but the metal monster has something extra. it sounds great through my ibanez gax 70 with duncan dimebucker and invader through my ibanez halfstack.
