Gearank Recommendation
The Metal Muff appeared on our recommended list for Distortion Pedals Under $100 from December 2017 until July 2022 when it was removed due to its price increasing above the $100 limit.
Overview
The Electro-Harmonix Metal Muff Distortion Pedal with Top Boost is exactly what it sounds like, a Big Muff Pi geared towards metal and hard rock players.
Though the pedal definitely invites comparison to the more well-known Big Muff Pi, it should be noted that this pedal is a very different animal.
The pedal can best be thought of as a metal distortion first and a fuzz second, giving you the focused distorted tone you find in metal with the grit you find with a fuzz pedal.
Another cool feature is the top boost, which helps to both increase the gain and tame some of the low-end you get with Big Muff style pedals.
This pedal is great for metal players looking for a unique high-gain lead and rhythm tone.
