This pre loved Electro-Harmonix Pocket Metal Muff is in excellent used condition and compresses the aggressive high-gain distortion of its famous big brother into a compact, pocket-sized die-cast chassis. It is designed specifically to deliver heavy, scooped-mid metal tones while taking up minimal space on a pedalboard.
An overview of its core controls, tonal features, and power specifications includes:
Control Interface
- Distortion: Controls the amount of input gain, ranging from a heavy crunch to extreme high-gain saturation.
- Volume: Sets the overall output level of the pedal, providing plenty of boost to cut through a band mix.
- Scoop Switch: A three-position toggle switch that radically alters the mid-range frequencies.
-
- Up Position: Provides a high-frequency boost for sharp, biting lead tones.
- Middle Position: Delivers a classic, deeply scooped mid-range for heavy rhythm chugging.
- Down Position: Offers a subtle mid-range cut for a more balanced, traditional distortion.
Tonal Characteristics
The pedal is voiced specifically for hard rock and metal genres, emphasizing tight low-end tracking and aggressive high-frequency bite. The three-way scoop switch serves as the primary tone-shaping tool, allowing players to instantly shift between classic 1980s thrash metal tones and more modern, bright distortion styles without the need for a complex equalization section.
Hardware & Power Specs
- Bypass: Features a true bypass foot-switch to ensure your guitar signal remains completely unaltered when the pedal is turned off.
- Enclosure: Built into a rugged, flight-ready aluminium housing that handles heavy live stage use.
- Power Requirements: Operates on a standard 9V DC power supply (centre-negative) or via a single 9V battery accessible through a bottom door.
