Key Features

  • Devastating Tone – Ultra-thick high-gain distortion tones

  • Tight Crushing Tone – Super-tight response
  • Pedalboard Friendly – True Bypass

  • Fat – Enhanced low-end and low-mid.
  • Scoop – Scooped mids for 90-s metal tones.

All The Gain

Let’s be honest, you’re not here for a nice transparent overdrive or a bluesy crunch box. If you are, you must have taken a wrong turn at our competitors’ stompboxes on aisle 14. You’re here for the gain, all the gain and nothing but the gain. FANGS METAL DISTORTION delivers it all in spades. Whether you’re looking for tight and raunchy rhythm tones or searing solo sounds, FANGS METAL DISTORTION’s ultra-tight, bone-crushing gain structure makes you the master of all you survey!

Take Control Of Your Tone

When it comes to mastering metal guitar tones, the mid frequencies are where it all happens. That’s why FANGS METAL DISTORTION features a versatile mid-frequency selector switch in addition to the typical Bass and Treble controls. This handy little control lets you go from raw classic metal tones to scooped nu-metal – and all the way to super-beefy sludge metal tones, with just the flick of a switch.

Here’s what TC Electronic say:

Tap into a world of high-gain riffage with Fangs Metal Distortion and its super versatile set of tone tools that let you sculpt your sonic onslaught to perfection. From ultra-tight thrash tones to thick walls of doom metal distortion, you’ll find it all here and then some in this highly affordable pedal that’s ready to slay the stage!

Distortion

Distortion pedals take your clean guitar signal and transform it into something bigger, bolder, and full of attitude. By clipping the waveform, they add sustain, bite, and aggression, creating that thick, compressed tone that’s powered rock music for decades. From the growling crunch of classic hard rock to the tight, saturated roar of modern metal, distortion is all about energy and presence. It gives every note weight and authority, pushing your amp to its limits and beyond.

There are countless flavours of distortion, each with its own texture and edge. Some sound smooth and creamy, others raw and gnarly like tearing fabric. It’s the sonic equivalent of turning up the heat until the sound cooks — rich, sizzling, and perfectly seasoned to taste. Whether used for rhythm muscle or soaring leads, a good distortion pedal doesn’t just add volume; it adds personality, grit, and that unmistakable sense of power under your fingers.
