Post by: DSOL on June 04, 2019, 06:50:57 PM
any recommendations?

I was looking at the M116 Fullbore Metal or the M75 Super Badass

holy hell, I was planning to make exactly the same topic!

respectable brand, quite cheap second hand, definitely something to look into

watched some guitar demos of fullbore metal on YT, and the thing seems pretty good

also interested in doubleshot distortion and blowtorch

if anyone used any of those, impressions will be much appreciated

I have the Fullbore and haven't tested it a lot but it does seem like a nice upgrade from the Boss MT2 (that I happen to like). More options, less size.
As W.K. said I noticed it is more on the screamin'/grindin' side of noise.

For now I like it and vote it as not a gamechanger but a solid aquisition within those mentioned aspects. A sidekick for your main distortion most of the times.

saw the doubleshot distortion in a case at the guitar shop and bought it un-heard just because of how stupid looking and ugly it is, and sonically it certainly lives up to its outward appearance. really nasty ripping hi-end. ability to dial in two settings and switch between them makes nice dramatic cuts. absolutely fuck-stupid little switches labeled "focus" are an added curiosity
