collapse expand iconDescription

The MXR Fullbore Metal distortion pedal is designed to push your guitar tone into overdrive. This compact but powerful pedal turbocharges your signal with lethal amounts of ultrahigh gain, combined with a built-in Noise Gate to knock out noise and add definition to syncopated riffs. With extensive EQ controls and a Scoop switch, you can sculpt your tone with fiendish precision.

High-Gain Distortion Provides Devastating Metal Tones

The Fullbore Metal distortion pedal provides massive amounts of gain to produce the most devastating contemporary metal guitar tones. Dial in anything from overdrive to extreme distortion with the Gain knob. The 3-band EQ with sweepable midrange frequencies lets you shape your tone to perfection. Boost the lows and highs with the Scoop switch for rumbling bass, sizzling highs and cutting mids.

Fast Noise Gate Adds Tightness and Clarity

The built-in Noise Gate instantly eliminates unwanted noise and hum, even at the Fullbore Metal's most extreme gain settings. Its fast response provides tightness and clarity to syncopated riffs and shredding solos. An internal Gate Threshold control lets you adjust the gate's sensitivity to your liking.

Rugged and Compact Design

Despite its formidable power, the Fullbore Metal distortion pedal has a compact and rugged design that's built to handle life on the road. It features an all-analog signal path for authentic tone. True bypass switching ensures your tone is uncolored when the pedal is off. The Fullbore Metal's small footprint saves precious real estate on your pedalboard.
