Best Pedal for Distortion
This thing is so perfect, you don't need the larger ones with more knobs, this has THE sound. I use it for Rock although its made for metal but its good either way. Distortion at 12 Oclock for Rock or all the way for Metal. I use a 60watt Huges & Kettner amp and I used to like the overdrive channel but now I keep it on clean and use this, it is THE sound I was looking for with all the harmonics. Made in USA, I just wish the knobs were metal like the ones in the picture.

As I said, when dialing in distortion, it begins to sound like Randy Rhoads at the 10:00/10:30 position; and Joe Satriani at the 12:00 position; and it still has head room to go! When it come to effects(especially distortion) I'm spoiled. My first dist. pedal was a MXR distortion +…around 1978 model; I paid about $45.00 for it in 1980 used. Wouldn't u know it now that that pedal turns out to be one of the best design pedals of all time; all that I knew–it was a great Marshall sounding pedal! When I was able to purchased amps with great preamp dist./master volume, I didn't use it anymore or did I think I would ever need one again; of course, I was wrong. After buying a Fender Blues Jr. amp,(love that little low-wattage monster)in order to juice it up to the classic rock stage, a search of a distortion pedal had begun. Of course, I wanted my old vintage mxr back, but I'n not going to get ripped of by ONLINE AUCTION-SITE PIRATES. I've tried various pedals: a $100.00 or less, boss ds-1, boss metal master, digitech bad mon., ect., and I just could not accept their tonal flaws. Then, thinks to harmonycentral's review board, I discovered nano metal muff. I went to GC; listen to it; played it; bought it; and I will never sell it. I set the toggle switch on high scoop and take out the mids on my Tom Scholls Rockman EQ; thus my signal path: Gibson LP standard('95)/57 strat reissue('99)/Fat Strat('07) >> dunlop tone booster('87) >> thomas international cry baby wah('75) >> electro Harmonix poly chorus reissue('03) >> electro harmonix small stone phase shifter('80) >> nano metal muff('07) >> behringer dd-100 delay('07) >> tom scholls rockman eq('89) >> fender blues jr. >> the end. The blues jr. has been modified: Celestion greenback(25w); JJ tubes all around; and resitor R57(22K) has been increased to (27k) to dampen the plate idol voltage to -12.5vdc fix bias. I have look and found the right pedal for my rehearsal setup. So everyone, forget about being ripped off on these online auction sites and buy a nano metal muff. It's basically the same thing but with more gain possibilities. To me its not noisy and the sound kicks ????????? through a modified fender bj. I rate it a 9 because nothing is perfect.
Ahh—-the pocket metal muff (nano); what a lovely distortion pedal! It is relatively easy to use depending if your a audiophile or not. It's well calibrated to plug into your guitar singnal path and just have ago at it; on the other hand, since it comes out full distortion at the 12:00 position, it requires EQ adjustments(if u have a good one)to scoop out the Joe Satriani sound. No editing patches…just analog distortion. Comes with a manual. Don't know about firmware association. I rate it a Strong 9 because in this world there's nothing perfect.
electro harmonix products are tough motor-scooters and I never had problems with them. I have always gig with them; rugged pedals. I would use it as a back up since my gigging amp is a jcm 2000 dsl (50w). It doesn't need any distortion help. I rate it at a 9.5 because (imho) eh make tough pedals, and besides, nothing is perfect.
I'm a Blues-hard rock/progressive rock/classical guitarist. This nano metal muff is a perfect match for my style preferrences. So, I guess I will rate this a 10. Now–that's perfect!

MXR DD11 Dime Distortion Pedal
When Dimebag Darrell of Pantera first exploded on the scene, he ushered in a new era of tone and attitude. When it comes to guitar, Dime doesn’t need a ‘warm’ or ‘pretty’ sound. He can’t be bothered with ‘vintage’ this or ’boutique’ that. He wants a heavy, aggressive, razor-sharp tone that can slice through a loud band and a louder crowd. It’s a tone that rages with distortion but remains tight and focused enough to keep up with lightening-fast rhythm lines and face-melting solos.
Finally there’s a pedal that can deliver all that: the The Dime Distortion from MXR. With its 3-band EQ, proprietary Scoop switch, and ungodly output, this stomp box from Hell has the guts and the muscle to stand up to your heaviest displays of power. Crank the gain, boost the lows and highs, and hit the Scoop switch for a rhythm tone that will annihilate. Dial the mids back in and mow down the competition with a lead sound that can penetrate steel. If it still hasn’t gotten heavy enough for you, stick the Dime in front of a distorted amp and experience sustain and sonic mayhem that’s so over the top it should come with a warning label. The Dime Distortionnot subtle, not pretty.
Proprietary Scoop switch notches the mids for deadly metal tones
3-band EQ
Phosphorescent ‘glow in the dark’ control stencil makes performance on dark stages nothing to be afraid of.

It's raw and rips you ass off.
It's so easy the only people that will have problems are bugs.
hell yeah it's realiable. I gig without a backup of anything. Any money for a backup is quickly used for something else.
I think this is the pedal for me. It does take some tweaking to get your own sound, and as many days there are in a year, so are the sound possibilities from different guitar/amp setups. This is raw distortion, not a processed or modeled sound, so you will have to configure your other effects to sculpt your own sound, whatever it may be. If you run it into a tube amp on it's own it is bad ass. I run it into a ibanez tb100 solid state combo with a boss compressor in front of it and that's it. I'm currently getting Randy Bachman type lead sounds and Tony Iommi rythym and lead sounds from it, and the pinch harmonics come through no problem. This fucker is tits!

It sounds awsome, Im running my les paul with a dimebucker at the bridge straight through the pedal and into my Marshall jcm 2000 dsl head with a 1960 b cab. very very quiet low feedback. I get the perfect thunk and for rhythm sections realy bright lead sounds. Sounds just like dimebag. I dont know what those other guys are playing through but sounds like they need be playing through a half stack not a wimpy 1 12. sounds like the bands im influenced by pantera, megadeath, slayer, testement, dio, in flames, at the gates ……….
set everything to 12 0' clock and it sounds good, not hard at all.
the diagram that comes with the pedal shows you a good place to
start making adjustments for the tone.
solid as a rock
for the style of music im playing its perfect (hard rock and thrash.)
Ive been playing for about 8 years best thing ive come across worth the hefty price. If it were stolen I hunt the fucker down and slay him with it A little blood on your pedal never hurt any one.
