Electro-Harmonix Nano Metal Muff Distortion Pedal

Aggressive High-Gain Distortion for Modern Metal

The Electro-Harmonix Nano Metal Muff is built for guitarists who demand crushing high-gain distortion and powerful tone shaping. Designed specifically for heavy music styles, this compact pedal delivers aggressive distortion with the flexibility needed to dial in everything from tight rhythm tones to saturated lead sounds.

At the heart of the Nano Metal Muff is a powerful distortion circuit paired with an extensive 3-band EQ. This allows players to shape their tone with precision, making it easy to achieve the tight low end, cutting mids, and biting highs required for modern metal.

Extensive EQ for Total Tone Control

The Nano Metal Muff provides exceptional control over your distortion tone with a highly flexible equalizer section:

• Bass – ±14dB of cut or boost for controlling low-end punch
• Mid – ±15dB of adjustment for sculpting midrange presence
• Treble – ±10dB of control for brightness and bite

This wide EQ range allows players to easily dial in classic scooped metal tones, tight modern rhythms, or cutting lead sounds that stand out in the mix.

Built-In Noise Gate for High-Gain Clarity

High-gain distortion often introduces unwanted noise and hum, but the Nano Metal Muff solves this with a built-in noise gate. The gate automatically eliminates excess noise when you stop playing, helping keep your tone tight and controlled.

The gate includes a dedicated GATE threshold control to adjust sensitivity, along with an LED indicator that shows when the gate is actively muting the signal.

Compact Yet Powerful

Despite its aggressive tone and powerful controls, the Nano Metal Muff features a compact pedalboard-friendly design. Its straightforward control layout makes it quick and easy to dial in heavy tones for rehearsals, recording sessions, or live performances.
