Apart from some references that show their age, few good pedals have tried the challenge of offering the big sound metal compact format. With the Fullbore, MXR is the ultimate tool of its kind.
The nobility of the metal. Overdrive is a form of art in its own right, to the point that some brands have about a dozen of their catalog, while the metal distortion is often considered the poor relation of the gain pedals. Yet, not everything is compressed and caricatural brutality in this universe, and there is even a certain nobility in trying to achieve the ideal mixture of thickness, sharpness, reactivity to attack and holding serious . In the field, MXR signs a solid box with the M116 Fullbore Metal.
EQ is the key. Much of the battle of metal sound is played in a very precise equalization. The mediums represent the nerve of war to achieve the desired personality to its distortion, to go from glam-metal to black metal via n-metal, power-metal or death-metal ( whether or not it has a symphonic tendency). The MXR M116 Fullbore Metal therefore integrates a three-band EQ with a semi-parametric medium (which one can adjust the range of mediums concerned, so), and a Scoop push button that drastically digs the midrange for a sound really huge.
Violence and silence ... Of course, a distortion metal would be nothing without a copious amount of gain, and on that side the M116 does not disappoint, far from it! It has a sufficient reserve to go from a big rhythmic sound like vintage stack pushed into its limits to the ultrafluid grain of the most modern amps that multiply stacked preamp stages. That says huge gain says background noise, and MXR was very inspired by integrating a noise gate to Fullbore Metal. It is activated via a pusher on the front and is parametered via an internal trimpot. Casually, this is an option that exempts you from the purchase of an extra pedal!
The power of the ultimate riff will be yours with the new MXR FullBore Metal distortion. This compact and powerful pedal will let you unleash devastating contemporary metal sounds! This Ultra High Gain pedal includes a noise gate to suppress noise related to high gain but also to add definition and precision to metal riffs.
