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

- contoured results. The important mids can be adjusted easily; scooping
- of course

- and works via a narrow-band treble frequency emphasis so that the sound
- even in the worst of sound storms
- can still be heard.
