The Nano Metal Muff sports the same drive circuit as the classic Metal Muff, but takes up a much smaller footprint on your pedalboard. A new addition to the pedal is an onboard noise gate, which – ideal for high-gain situations – can be used to kill unwanted idle hum. The gate is adjustable via a knob on the pedals front face, plus there’s a green led that lets you know when it’s engaged.
Other controls on the Nano Metal Muff are very similar to those found on the original, with just one exception: the top boost parameter has been done away with. You can set your levels by balancing the distortion and volume control knobs. As for sculpting your tone, there’s a tonestack EQ (treble, mid and bass).
Like its name implies, the Nano Metal Muff is designed to pull off heavy guitar tones. Check out the demo below for a better idea of what the pedal is capable of:
