Product Description

Electro Harmonix Metal Muff/ Top Boost, Distortion Effect

  • Electro Harmonix has great experience in the field of official distorters - so it is only logical that they are now offering something for the modern metal worker. The Metal Muff/Top Boost distorts sound such that it is a pleasure to hear
  • and even at the highest levels of distortion still manages to deliver precise
  • contoured results. The important mids can be adjusted easily; scooping
  • of course
  • is also possible without a biteless living room sound coming out. The Top Boost switch is of assistance in this respect
  • and works via a narrow-band treble frequency emphasis so that the sound
  • even in the worst of sound storms
  • can still be heard.
  • Distortion/Sustainer
  • Ideal for the tougher approach
  • Controls for Volume
  • Boost
  • Treble
  • Bass and Distortion
  • Top Boost and bypass switchable
  • Dimensions (W x D x H): 120 x 145 x 64 mm
  • Matching power supply: Electro Harmonix EU96 DC-200 BI: Article #109004# (not included)
PROS
  • • Top Boost circuit cuts through dense mixes, providing clarity and presence.
  • • Mid controls offer exceptional tonal shaping, avoiding muddy or thin distortion.
  • • Robust metal enclosure feels durable and ready for gigging.
  • • Distinctive, aggressive distortion character perfect for modern metal and hard rock.

  • • Limited versatility outside of high-gain metal and rock applications.
  • • True bypass isn't present, potentially coloring the signal even when off.
