Not a 80's heavy metal pedal

Posted by OZ from New Hampshire on Oct 31, 2009

Experience w/product: I have used it

Reviewer's Background: hobbist

Reviewer's Play Style: hard rock & Metal

To much heavy fuzzy distortion mashed to gather it's a trouble pedal. What were they thinking? Even the sale's person said sounded bad it sounds really bad that's not good. If you have amp that has decent gain this is not the pedal for you

MXR Fullbore Metal

Posted by Winfield from California on Oct 23, 2009

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: recording musician (40 yrs.)

Reviewer's Play Style: instrumental rock

A lot of tone shaping options here in a very small tough enclosure. I like the compact size and the 6 knobs. This most certainly is a METAL pedal and trying to get toned down smooth distortion out of this more than likely will not be possible without running it into another drive pedal. I have a lot of pedals on my board and find that running a Barber LTD Silver after the Fullbore is just what the doctor ordered, this gives me the option of just the Fullboar in its grand and knarly state or when switching on the LTD (tone stacking) smooths it out. I am running the Fullbore with the gain at half way which still gives a lot of raw crunch when used alone but does not send the LTD into clipping when using both together. Before the Fullbore I owned the Digitech Hardwire Metal pedal and the Electro Harmonics Metal Muff. I actually used the Muff for a couple of years but when I saw the size and tonal capabilities of the Fullbore I had to switch over. I am running my pedalboard into a GenzBenz El'Diablo combo (tube amp.) I don't need a lot of time when auditioning new pedals for my board, I know what I want to hear. I lean more towards smoother overdrives and distortions but I also knew That to have a complete pedalboald I had to fill the tonal space on the extream end of things. I can't imagine anyone needing any other metal pedal than the Fullbore but then again it comes down to how it incorporates into your rig and the tones you are trying to attain. This one tonally is a 10 for me. Now if I could just get MXR to build me a low gain pedal with the 6 knobs and switching options there would be not much left to be desired.
