the ultimate metal tone machine
d.norris from iowa
Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
Like I said its very solid and made well. Built like a tank. Electron harmonic makes great pedals.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
Very reliable I've owned two of these pedals. I regretted selling my first one and bought another and will never part with it again.
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
This is the ultimate metal stimpbox. Very solid build. Looks awesome.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Very loose distortion. If you have a tube amp you can get a real death metal tube lag thing going. Very awesome sounding.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
Tone is very flexable. One way to know if you have a good amp that has headroom is to turn the bass on the metal muff past one o clock. If the amp bottoms out you need a better amp for metal. One mistake people make with this pedal is the top boost.you never want it turned past 9 or 10 o'clock or the pedal sounds shrill.top boost can be used for some rhythems if you turn it to the area around 7 o'clock or 8 this will give you a sweep like effect. You won't need to do it though because the equal without the top boost is very aggressive. There are many pedals out there and this one is the best it gust takes some getting use to. If this pedal doesn't get you the sound you want you need a better amp. If you have a peavey valveking they are not a metal amp. This pedal won't do you any good for the vk. Buy a turbo tubescreamer instead.

Paint job is very metal looking
Action
How was the action out of the box?

Tough, rugged and perfect for my band. I can play classic rock or extreme Metal through this pedal. No need for a combo amp. An excellent pedal.

It is made very good it has a solid metal casing and nice smooth quiet and very responsive controls. The input and output jacks are metal and secured to the case so you don't have to worry about them coming out or breaking off. The two switches are high quality they feel nice and solid and have a definite solid click when you step on them. There is no noise through the amp like a pop or click when activated that is a sign of good quality.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
I have had it for over 2 months now and everything is going strong. Being it is a well established company I feel it will last a good while plus this thing is solid. I have had no issues at all it does what it is supposed to when it should and does it great.
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
I love this thing I play mostly 80's and some 90's Rock and Metal and it can do it all on my rig. I run it through My Crate V33H tube amp and 412 cab and Schecter Damien special FR with EMG HZ's. the tones I can get are monstrous and powerful and very very versatile.
Playability and Feel

It's a pedal with a lot of controls so you have to bend down and adjust to taste for whatever you are playing.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
The tone you can shape to whatever you want and there is plenty of gain on tap. Lots of chunk for you can get down and dirty.
Finish

Action

Plug and play it came with a battery in it so it is ready to go.
