Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Magma Flex Metal is a high-gain distortion pedal built around control of both the sound and its response. Gain covers aggressive overdrive through heavy saturation, while Damping changes the low-end response and Headroom adjusts compression and pick attack. Bass, Treble, Mid Frequency and Mid controls provide active EQ shaping, so the pedal can be voiced around a guitar, amp or mix. Its onboard gate can be switched in for more controlled high-gain passages.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Tightening stop-start rhythm parts with the switchable onboard noise gate.
- Adjusting a high-gain sound around different guitars, amplifiers and recording mixes.
- Moving between tighter low end and a wider, more resonant response.
