Great versatile distortion
Charger 22.10.2020
Even though heavy metal distortions (and music style) are not my cup of tea in general I have bought this just for fun and well... it's great for the money!

The EQ knobs and modes can make this sound really massive with any amp. I use this with clean channels of my tube Laney Lionheart L5-t, Peavey Classic MH 20 and Blackstar Artist 30. Really impressed.

It gives a solid full tight bottom end even through vintage sounding bass lacking Celestion Heritage in 1x12 cab. The raw mode is really doom sounding noise - not for me at all. But the mid boost mode is really cool.

Hint: try it's scooped (down switch) mode in return jack of your amp! Bypasing preamp for the FANGS forming all the gain and equalisation can do a great job transforming your amp into heavy metal beast.

Verdict: for the money - you can't get wrong. If you play heavy metal stuff from time to time and don't want to get specific amp - this is a great way to get into that territory.

flexible high gain
MikeCrossJung 16.03.2020
Yes, this thing can make you a metal tone. The three way switch affords a big tonal palette on speed dial, and I appreciate that. Not only the main gain knob, but also the lo/high controls and output have powerful range. The response is pretty tight, and the gain character is always furious. The entire haptic is really great and rock solid.

It's not exactly an exclusive tone machine, but it is darn flexible and gets the dirty job done for cheap. IF you have a utility with a wet/dry loop, it's also good fun on evil bass!

Versatile stomp-box - MUST if you are after Norwegian Black Metal tone
thanasisk 24.01.2020
Does what it says in the box! Quite easy to use box, with medal housing and plastic knobs. It has three settings, "Raw", "Fat" and "Scooped". I was slightly let down (note: slightly) from "Fat". "Scooped" gives a nice late 80s/early 90s "Groove Metal" sound. As expected from the name, "Raw" gives a nice sound reminiscent of early 90s Norwegian Black Metal, with a lot of mids. So, if you are after a pedal that can extremely decently emulate this particular sound, go for it. I am sure with some creative EQing, a lot more sounds will come out of this affordable stomp-box.

Solid Metal pedal
Jack hagi 12.04.2023
Bought this and was very happy, sound wise its brilliant, only Issue I have is the switch which changes the on off state as you are removing your foot from the switch rather than as you are pushing down, but for the money it sounds great

Fangs Metal Distortion
nilocii 05.12.2020
Excellent metal distortion pedal, I personally use it to play stuff like Metallica, Venom, even stuff like Van Halen and some Nirvana. All in all very versatile. One thing people should be notified of, it doesn't come with a power cable which is needed because this doesn't run on batteries (as far as I'm concerned) so I had to order a 9V power adapter to make it work. The knobs (gain, volume, bass and treble) are very responsive and make for a good overall sound. Excellent pedal for the price!
