The TC Electronic Fangs Metal Distortion is designed specifically who want gain, and lots of it. This pedal is not for those looking for warm bluesy overdrives. This beast's bone-crushing gain structure will serve up everything from ultra-tight thrash tones to thick walls of doom metal distortion. The mid frequencies are where it is at in terms of perfecting your metal tone, and the Fangs has a versatile mid-frequency selector switch as well as the usual Bass and Treble controls. This feature lets you go from raw classic metal tones, through scooped nu-metal, to super-beefy sludge metal tones, with just the flick of a little switch. Designed and engineered in Denmark, the Fangs Metal Distortion comes in a road-tough metal chassis with top mounted jacks and features True Bybass switching to preserve your signal. It runs on a 9V battery or the optional TC Electronic Powerplug.
