Customer Review Rate and Review this Product: 2 people wrote reviews 2 people rated this item d.norris from iowa gtarmn75@gmail.com Overall Ranking: Overall: Sound: Quality: Reliability: Action: Finish: Playability: Tone: Subject: decent metal pedal Quality: Dido Sound: Sound is decent the scoop is very aggressive and the noise gate is cool and works good. If your looking for dimebags tone this will do it. A little to mid range sounding to me. Its distortion is tight and sizzles a little to much for me. The boss mt-2 is better and the metal muff is better than both because its distortion is more amp like. I believe the fullbore would sound better with a solid state amp due to solid state amps less vivrant clean channels. A solid state might mask some of the sizzle and grittyness. Reliability: My 1st one came broke and I had to mail it back. I went with a less known company and tried to save money. All manufacturers have mistakes assembling products. I've put wrong PCB boards in products myself. It happens when you hire new employees till they get the hang of things. Overall: Decent pedal for the price Playability and Feel: Quality built like all mxr products. Tone: Like I said distortion is tight and very sizzley dimebagish or fearfactory sounding . I think with a half stack you don't even need the scoop button. On my halfstack it sounds better without the scoop button in. I have a plexi and it has great headroom and takes pedals well. So I know my pedals. For the price its worth trying. The metal muff rules though. Finish: Looks cool polished steel and small. Would fit on a pedal board well. Or in your case for practices or gigs. Action: Very useable and sounds decent. Just not for my rig. You may like it though. I use a metal muff and my other guitarist bought my mt-2 and likes it better than the fullbore. I gave him the choice of the two. Skill Level: Semi-Pro Do you own this product?: yes Date submitted: 06/25/11 goodnoize42 from Santa Fe, NM Overall Ranking: Overall: Sound: Quality: Reliability: Action: Finish: Playability: Tone: Subject: Metal Zone has met it's match! Quality: MXR quality all the way through. I own MXRs from the 80's up until now. you can pass them to your kids and they can pass them to their kids and they'll still work. Sound: The Full Bore pedal has the MOST GAIN i have ever heard from a heavy metal pedal. If you turn the gain control up to about 11 o'clock, that sould be enough! This little box will give you Metallica, Slayer or Megadeth sounds without even trying. It won't break up for blues or rock very good though, it has chainsaws and jackhammers inside of it, not tweed amps and stratocasters! It sounds etremely good with downtuning and 7-string axes, you can get a good Godsmack sound. People complain about the Full-Bore and say that it has way too much treble. Solution: work with thw frequency and midrange control in this way: turn one one way and turn the other in the opposite direction, (one dial right and the other left) and you will get the tone you're after. And easy on the bass dial, it has enough low end to pop speakers, no Seriously! I tore up the 10 inch speaker in my Fender SuperChamp XD with the bass control. But through a 2 or 4 twelve cabinet it soundas the best. Reliability: It's made by MXR, and they make their pedals like little steel bricks. My 80's MXR phase shifter hit me right smack on the top of my head, when it fell off my Marshall full stack back in 1984, and when it hit the stage floor and didn't even have a scratch, but my head had a bump. The dials on the FullBore are tight and the footswitch is stiff and rugged. Pure MXR quality! I have 12 MXR pedals, and I should know. Overall: Boss Metal Zone and Boss Metal Core are the two right now that actually do the job well. Then this baby comes out; BEWARE! This deadly little silver nuclear powered box is full of six dials to adjust your sound, and also has two push buttons to make it even better. You get parametric eq, not traditional bass and treble dials; and it's 9volt battery powered (or ac adaptor) and it has a neat bright blue led and is built like a little steel brick. Playability and Feel: Like I said, just work with the dials a while and you will get your tone. And don't be afriad of it's strong treble, cause those are the chainsaws it has inside of it. Remember, sometines treble can make your leads stand out when the drummer is bashing away, and the bass player is cracking the plaster in the room with his 70's Ampeg tube head. Tone: Like I said, it sounds different through different amps, but you will find your magic metal tone whether your your playing it through a 100 hundred dollar Fender Frontman combo amp or a 2000 dollar Mesa Boogie head. Finish: It comes in unpainted, unbrushed steel finish. It looks like MXR made the casing out of a valve cover from a 70's Chevy engine. This little unpainted pedal looks fantastic, hence it's name FullBore Metal! Action: When you first put the battery in and plug your guitar into it, depending on what kind of an amp your using, you have to adjust it for a while until you find the sound that's right for you. I have found though that it likes dark sounding amps such as the Peavey JSX head or the Peavey 6505 head the best. Because I have those amps and I've tried it. However it won't sound too good through a Marshall JCM series amp because they're too midrangy. It doesn't really like my JCM 2000 head that much. And if you play it through a 12 inch combo like I said BE CAREFUL WITH THE BASS CONTROL! Skill Level: Semi-Pro Do you own this product?: Yes Date submitted: June 16 2011. Read all reviews
