MXR M116 Fullbore Metal Distortion
Guitarists, it's time to shred! The MXR Fullbore Metal distortion pedal has all the makings to turn your riffs into searing, bone-crushing assaults! A 3-band EQ lets you shape the Fullbore Metal's sound and the midrange is sweepable, letting you scoo...
Comparing the Top Boost to the Noise Gate in terms of the big "selling point", the Fullbore's Noise Gate (which has adjustable sensitivity) to me seems like a MUCH better feature when thinking about how tight you want your rhythm guitar or leads to sound
Pretty similar tones to other similarly priced pedals out there, but very good at reducing noise, included noise gate is nice as well
Like the features especially the noise gate but do not use the scoop very much.
The included noise gate is extremely transparent and highly effective on machine gun riffs.

The noise gate is a great feature and it's pretty damn good looking to boot.
The variable mids EQ is a nice feature for tweaking the overall response to your style of playing
I love it a lot and it has a bunch of awesome and very useful features

The big "selling point" about the MM is that it has a Top Boost

I wrote a review for the MM on Amazon, but in summary, the Top Boost makes everything sound weird and unmusical

Great pedal overall, killer metal tones with a lot of customization available
I love it a lot and it has a bunch of awesome and very useful features
This pedal is ok at best there are a lot better metal pedals out there the only thing this one really has going for it is it has a built in noise gate other wise this pedal is pretty thin sounding and has far to much gain then you will ever need

You know how hard it is to squeeze a good metal crunch out of one small box
But through a nice, well-balanced tube amp like a Hot Rod or something, this can give you very nice metal distortion
Hard rock and heavy metal, classic metal is where it shines
It sounds terrible, even my crappy metal core pedal sounds better
I suppose if it had a 10-band EQ and a 12AX7 preamp circuit, it would be "the best metal pedal", but for a small piece of gear, it's probably the best analog distortion on the market.
There are amplifiers that will make this thing sound absolutely terrible, and there are amplifiers that will make it sound like realistic tube gain for metal
(it is smaller than I imagined it would be, that's actually a good thing)
Maybe I expected way too much...but this thing sounds terrible
Guitarists, it's time to shred! The MXR Fullbore Metal distortion pedal has all the makings to turn your riffs into searing, bone-crushing assaults! A 3-band EQ lets you shape the Fullbore Metal's sound and the midrange is sweepable, letting you scoop the mids for that classic metal tone
A noise gate — another staple of shredding — is also onboard, completing the trifecta of metalistic attributes that will make any headbanger happy
Let the audience know exactly how metal you are and throw the Fullbore Metal on your pedalboard!
