A Metal pedal with tons of gain and EQ options galore!

The ModTone MT-EM Extreme Metal pedal is a true bypass boutique style effect pedal that delivers insane gain levels that go from subtle to over the top. The specialized "scoop" knob covers plenty of metal territory while leaving all the articulate definition intact. Adjusting the "Low" knob gives any amp that ground shaking low end thump while the "High" knob lets you dial in just the right amount of top end sweetness. ModTone MT-EM's proprietary gain stage lets you sprinkle just a touch of dirt or crank it all the way for a molten metal meltdown!

Features

  • True bypass
  • Level knob
  • Gain knob
  • Dual concentric knobs that control highs, lows, and parametric mids

        This pedal is true METAL. Has low punch. Crunch. Etc...
        You can dial it in to fit your amp.

          Flexibility Boss (not boss pedal)

          By Native Wookie

          from Central New Mexico

          Comments about Modtone MT-EM Exreme Metal Pedal:

          I just got this pedal a few days ago and for the price, the tone and dist. level options make this quite a flexible pedal indeed. Side by side with my Metal Muff....eh..about the same amount of gain, but with a bit more...."something" that perahps come from the mid/scoop dials. that's where this shines. also, I have this placed after a Black Star HT distX (or what ever) pedal and use the tube in that as an ovberdrive boost. with that combo, even muy "el cheapo raven practice amp" can dish out any tone options. If you like to hang on to pedals, you'll keep this one.

          Comments about Modtone MT-EM Exreme Metal Pedal:

          I have this pedal after my SD-1 and DS-1. The order is obvious. The signal is boosted one after the other, so I end up with a good range of overdrive/distortion in my pedalboard. I do not play heavy metal but the Modtone pedal offers a wide range of crunchy sounds, and EQ as well (with the stack knobs). You can also get a nice ZZTop sound. This is an excellent pedal not only for metal, but for blues and classic rock as well. This is true bypass and does not suck the tone. I play hollow and semi-hollow body guitars with a Vox all tube amp. Like any gain pedal, it will generate some noise, but not a big deal. Once you start playing, it will put a smile on your face. It appears that Modtone is doing a good job so far.

          Best distortion pedal, period.

          Comments about Modtone MT-EM Exreme Metal Pedal:

          I've tried multiple distortion pedals out there for the "extreme" end of the spectrum. The Boss Metal Zone, the Digitech, the works. I've never run into anything this versatile, this powerful, and just plain awesome sounding.I've played this piped through both a cheap 15 watt Fender amp and a Presonus Firepod into a DAW, and in both cases its force was incredible, let alone the one time I heard it through a big old Marshall monster. The bypass feature is also great, since it means when the pedal's off you don't get any noise. Do you play metal? GET THIS. End of story. Better than any of the others.

          Killer Pedal for metal and rock

          By C-Shreddz

          from Cali

          Comments about Modtone MT-EM Exreme Metal Pedal:

          This pedal is a shred machine. It easily cranks out Metallica like tones without breaking a sweat. Also, if you tweak the mid scoop you can even get a good grunge sound from it. Even cam with a lifetime warranty. Also, I don't know what the guy under me is talking about but this thing is a true bypass and doesnt touch the tone of amp or guitar when off.

          It works

          Comments about Modtone MT-EM Exreme Metal Pedal:

          I was excited to get this pedal & it does have a wide range of sounds & there's a lot that can be done to tweak it. But I found it to be quite thin. It also soaks a lot of tone from my amp even when off.
