Product Description

MXR Fullbore Metal Bundle PS A1

*Bundle offer comprising*, MXR M116 Fullbore Metal, Effects PedalThe MXR Distortion was one of the first sensible-sounding Distortions in the early 70's and to this day sounds good for many types of sound.

But modern times will not make the MXR redundant, and so the MXR Distortion M116 Fullbore Metal is a (if required) metallic-sounding knallhartes Metal Distortion unit with which you can make guitar sounds glow.

At the heart of the pedal is the sweepable mid control. Here the lava frequency can be searched for and mercilessly boosted; but of course tamer frequencies can also be selected (lowering works as well). The Fullbore Metal is therefore also versatile in all kinds of healthy hardness.

Frequently Asked Questions

The sweepable mid allows for a much wider range of tonal shaping, letting you target specific frequencies for more aggressive or focused sounds – it's not just a simple boost.
While designed for metal, the EQ controls offer some versatility; however, it’s really dialed in for high-gain applications and might be too aggressive for cleaner styles.
A high-gain amp will amplify the Fullbore's intensity, but it works well with a clean platform too, providing a controllable distortion sound.
