 An awesome pedal for playing metal Jun 05, 2010
This is a pretty awesome pedal, especially if you're going for more of an 80's or 90's metal sound that's more chunky and defined than fizzy. Think earlier Mesa models, like the famous Mark III C+ that was used by Metallica on the Master of Puppets album. Of course no pedal can perfectly replicate that sound, but the Metal Muff does a pretty amazing impression.
Some of the best aspects of the Metal Muff include:
1. Great clarity and definition, even on higher gain settings. Seriously, most high gain pedals cause you to lose a lot of definition in your playing, but the metal muff doesn't do that. So especially for the lead guitarist, this should be a major selling point.
2. Wide range to the tone controls. With some pedals it's really hard to hear a difference when you adjust the tone controls, but not so with the metal muff. You can easily dial in the sound you're after, or maybe even find a new sound you like even better.
3. The quality of construction is absolutely superb. Everything about the pedal is rugged and durable. I'd feel totally comfortable gigging without a backup.
On a different note, I've only used this pedal with my Fender Hotrod tube amp, and it sounds great. However, I prefer the Rocktron Zombie pedal to the Metal Muff(see my review of the Zombie for more info on that). However, the Rocktron Zombie doesn't sound good through solid state amps. I mention this because if you're using a tube amp, I honestly feel that the Zombie is a better option. But if you're playing through a solid state amp, the I've read that the metal muff still shines. Just something to consider.
To conclude, this pedal is awesome if you're looking for a pedal to give an all-round good, straight-up metal sound. Sure, it's a bit of a one-trick pony, but it's a pretty good trick. If you're looking for an ultra high-gain distortion monster then look else where, but otherwise I recommend giving the Metal Muff a look.

Way more than enough Jan 16, 2010
I have been playing guitar for about 8 years now and have tried tons of different pedals. This pedal seriously has enough overhead for the darkest, most deepest metal you would ever want to play. It's controls are very sensitive as well so the possibilities are endless, even small turns of each EQ knob result in a completely different sound. At the distortion level at around halfway it has a Metallica type sound to it and it can get more aggressive from there. I'm using it through a cheap $200 Ibanez guitar with humbuckers and the feedback/hum is VERY minimal. The distortion does not have an annoying fuzzy sound to it either, just a very aggressive tone.
I highly recommend.

Awesome Pedal Dec 25, 2009
I am a huge pedal head and love plugging in to new pedals. When I first tried this out it sounded great! It's perfect for this generation and "Nu-Metal" and all that. This is my norm distortion pedal (I also have a Proco Rat 2) I use it for all the heavy stuff I play (Ozzy, Metallica, etc) and it doesn't disappoint. I play through a Peavey Classic 50 and use an American Deluxe Fender strat with a Humbucker in the bridge and it really brings out some great tones. No tellin' what it would do with a Jackson through a Marshall or a SG through a Mesa Boogie, but I'm sure it would sound killer. Honestly the only reason I gave this 4 stars is because it is a little touchy and not very adaptable (it doesn't play well with my flanger). I'd definitely sell it if I found a pedal I liked more, but it has found a nice place on my board and it does it's job. Give this one a shot, you'll be glad you did.

 DO NOT BUY IT FROM THIS SELLER Nov 13, 2009
This seller ships stuff real slow.
I got my pedal 4 days after the estimated date.
Also, the pedal i got is USED.
It has dirt on the surface, and the battery is dead.
The pedal itself is a sweet pedal.
Thats why I rated it 2 stars instead of 1 star.
