This pedal won't do much for about 99% of the forum. But for that 1%, you need this in your stash.
I have wanted this pedal for about the last 2 years and have came close to buying new (Almost R1500), but held out that hopefully someone had a second hand one lying around. No joy. Now the story of buying this was not without the drama that I always seem to have with buying and selling stuff through junktree.
I hit up an ad that was almost 9 months old on junkmail and got a reply a few weeks later that they guy still had it and that he was local..........Benoni.
To and fro-ed for a while and we made a plan to meet up last weekend. I drive through to Benoni and low and behold 2 blocks from the meeting spot the guy calls me and says that he's just been arrested by the cops. I pretty much begged the dude to ask the cops to hang around and let me get the pedal and they can then take him away, no go. So I turn around after driving for an hour and go back home thinking to myself that this is total BS.
He whatsapp'd me later and said that they were trying to shake him down for money and I'm not really believing anything, but I pretty much forgot about the pedal and started my search elsewhere.
He dropped me a line and said that he'd come through to me to drop off the pedal. Low and behold...he pitched. Nice guy, friendly and he hands me this box......I plug her in and straight away I noticed that it's mean as s**t. So much balls and so much bite, I just had to plug in my drop tuned warlock.
I'm in love, I have been through pretty much all the metal pedals/ OD pedals and distortion pedals and always end up feeling a bit let down unless they're being played through a halfstack.
Not with this one, this is one pedal that lives up to the hype and IMHO exceeds it. Yeah it's got 6 knobs, but it's so damn easy to use and getting the sound that you want is so easy. Then you also have the noise gate and scoop switch as well.
I think that it's safe to say that my Metal Muff with topboost and my MT-2 are now probably going to be sold. I thought that my Metal Muff was king........yeah not anymore.
