I’ve been keeping an eye out at Amazon for some good deals… and it’s been rough. Not a lot going on after the Christmas sales I imagine. I did find a good deal on the Line 6 Uber Metal pedal at Amazon though. The Uber Metal lists for $179.99 and you usually see it available in the $100 range, but is currently on sale for only $91.83. You save a few bucks, and the Uber Metal does ship with FREE super saver shipping. I wasn’t able to find any ‘good’ demos of this pedal on youtube (I’ll spare you), but it seems the Uber Metal is similar to the MXR M116 Fullbore Metal pedal (which is also on sale for $91.73). Has built in noise gate and EQ adjustments to get that super scooped mid metal tone.

Here is the official description on the Line 6 Uber Metal:

So much gain, so little time. The high-gain model in the ToneCore pedal line, Uber Metal brings you massive amounts of gain in one tiny, tough package. You can chose from some of the best Line 6 high-gain tones including Metal, Pulverize, and Insane. Also included with the Uber Metal is a built-in selectable noise gate, and scoop control for massive tonal contouring.

Again, the Line 6 Uber Metal pedal is currently on sale for only $91.83 at Amazon.com

For those that aren’t familiar with the MXR M116 Fullbore, here are the details:

This compact but powerful MXR guitar pedal is all you need to unleash the most devastating contemporary metal guitar tones ever heard. The FullBore distortion pedal turbo-charges your guitar signal with lethal amounts of ultra high gain. This is combined with a built-in Noise Gate to knock out the noise associated with extreme gain levels while also adding definition and tightness to syncopated metal riffs.

The effect pedal’s extensive EQ controls, with Bass, Mid, sweepable Mid-Freq and Treble knobs let you sculpt your tone with fiendish precision. The additional Scoop switch provides an instant high and low frequency boost that’ll rumble the room while also adding clarity. Available from MXR, the world leader in analog pedal technology.

Okay metalheads, it’s time for the MXR Fullbore Metal Distortion pedal. This highly anticipated pedal came out a couple of months ago, and I wanted to write a post about it. I’m not too much into metal these days, but I’d love to give this pedal a ride. This pedal has some nice features built in to maintain high level of metal-ness, mainly a 3 band EQ (with sweepbable mids) and noise gate built in. It definitely has classic metal tone right out of the box.

I also wanted to show a video from gearmandude on this pedal. Even though he claims to be lacking in the metal licks, I thought this video showed some important info (ie: noise gate handling).
