MXR M116 Fullbore Metal

159

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.

  • Metal Distortion

A truly killer pedal!- MXR M116 Fullbore Metal
Peter6767 27.09.2015
This pedal is a medal heads must have!
Features:
Noise Gate-The noise gate offers that tightness that you need at high volume/gain levels.
Mid scoop-Mids are often scooped when it come to metal, which is perfect because this pedal allows you to do just that.
3-band EQ-this enables you to fine tune your tone and create some amazing sounds
Gain-The super high is perfect for those punchy, killer metal sound it really sings at around 2 o'clock
Freq-The freq allows you to fine tune the mid range, either making it more aggressive or smoother
LED's-The pedal is equipped with one amazingly bright blue LED in the centre
A Green one for the Gate and a Red LED for the scoop button

Overall-this is an truly amazing pedal, with it's combination of super high gain, noise gate, and mid scoop it is perfect for metal guitarists!
I would highly recommend it.

This Pedal really allows you to be precise with the sound you want. Also what i hadn't noticed before purchase, is that there is a little button which basically feedback. Excellent if you're going for a heavier sound

La pédale spéciale gros métal !
Nicolas7563 14.01.2014
Une pédale MXR reste une pédale MXR (un bonne grosse pédale avec des sons bien tranchants !)

Et la M116 ni déroge pas !

Cette pédale spéciale distorsion high gain se révèle fidèle à la description, muni de 6 réglages (3 réglages de son: Bass, Middle, Trebble qui permettent de ne pas toucher au réglages ampli / 1 réglage de volume / 1 réglage de fréquence / 1 réglage de gain).
Un simple gain de 3/10 permet d'avoir déjà un bon métal, mais dès lors que l'on atteint un gain au delà de 6 ça devient une tuerie !

A noter la présence de deux boutons supplémentaires, un bouton d'enclenchement de noise gate qui se révèle très pratique lorsque qu'on augmente le gain très haut et qu'on ne dispose pas de pédale externe de noise gate ou lorsque l'on en veut tout simplement pas. Un second bouton consiste à la séparation plus marqué des graves et des aigus pour modifier un peu le son.

Il est ainsi possible avec la MXR M116 de réaliser un très grand panel de distorsions grace au réglage de fréquence.
Pour ma part je l'utilise a haut fréquence et gain léger (4/10), on obtient ainsi un son bien tranché, plutôt chaud pour de la distorsion, avec de gros riff marqué et des aigus super poussés.
A noté que le réglage trebble est très sensible, au dela de 4/10 on se pète le tympan !

Bilan:
Adaptée au métal moderne de tout genre, avec des grosses distorsion, convient très bien pour des distorsion normales, mais incompatible avec une très fine distorsion bien évidement...
(Remarque: je l'utilise sur ampli transistor, et même si pour certains ce sont des ampli "pourris" et qu'il faut absolument acheter un ampli a lampe pour que ça arrache, c'est faux, certes c'est moins net a très haut gain, mais a part pour faire un concert c'est très suffisant !)
