Great review, thanks for the video. I didn’t realize the super badass was so much more versatile.

@jeremychamplin1078 5 лет назад

Excellent comparison video. It is easy to see the pros and cons of each.

@TheJofrica 4 года назад

The settings on the Full bore at around 12:54 was great

@craigharrison5406 4 года назад

Don't be fooled by the reviews of the Fullbore pedal, it is a beast. The problem is it takes time to sit down and finesse the knobs to the correct combination. The frequency sweep knob is the real key to it all, one slight turn left or right can turn an amazing sound to crap and vice versa. I turn the Frequency sweep to around 4 and the high(treble) to almost zero. The problem with these review vids is the high is set to like 5 which is crazy as it sounds is way too much. I literally have my high set to around 1.

@jamesdinger71 4 года назад

Great video! And I agree completely. Both are great in their own aspect. The Fullbore Metal is more of a one trick pony and definitely will do the job where the Super Badass seems more dynamic. I have both and mostly use the Super Badass for an Overdrive. Love it a lot.

@denniscnf 5 лет назад

Better video on youtube about this two pedals. Exactly what I was searching for: New Metal stuff with this two pedals. In my opinion, Super Bad Ass has a better definition, gain range and tone (not so scooped, but also with a very dinamic mid control). Thanks fo the video!!!

@1HYB 7 лет назад

the fullbore sounds the same no matter where you turn any knobs. the super badass is definitely the winner to my ears.

@CooperAATE 6 лет назад

I plug my Chapman ML2 (lefty, not that it matters, but hey) into a Fullbore, into my Orange CR120 and Laney IRT 212. My settings: vol 10 o'clock, freq 10 o'clock, gain 9 o'clock, bass 2 o'clock, mid 2-3 o'clock, high 10 o'clock. Cuts right through my band's mix without overwhelming the other guitarist (who uses POD HDPRO) or drowning the bass out.

@C_mao 7 лет назад

@javierdiazsantana 3 года назад

Still you could cut a particular mid frequency on the mid sweep knob, it's what i did with those distortion pedals

@megablasterboc7474 Год назад

Agreed! I have the Fullbore and it's highly under rated. It's capable of more than just chugging metal rhythm, it's great at lead solos as well! It's just a matter of dialing in the correct tone.

@zacgibb172 7 лет назад

@FretFriendGWaL 5 лет назад

2 years on from my original comment and after owning a Helix for 8 months, I built another pedalboard. I just bought an MXR Fullbore again and man, this pedal is amazing to my ears! I know it's too brutal for most but it just ticks all the boxes for me. Everything at 12 o'clock (a good starting point) and BOOM! I don't really use the mid-scoop button as it's too much IMO. I only want that 'all out metal' tone from this pedal and it is not on my board to do clean or subtle! Vastly underrated pedal IMO and is only bad to those who do not dial it in correctly. It can sound fizzy with the wrong amp / guitar but maybe I got lucky with my setup...

You didn't activate the famous sound throughout the entire video. The sound was supposed to be a vintage style sound. Unfortunately, you made the sounds of electrical faults. You didn't activate the famous sound from either pedal.

@Samhaim1234 5 лет назад

The Key on Fullbore is killing the treble knob and then you give an decent tone

@Incog2k6 7 лет назад

I laughed hard when he demoed both pedals with the Distortion knob all the way down, and the Fullbore still sounded as if it was cranked. Seriously, get the Super Badass if you want versatility, and get the Fullbore if you want to be KVLT.

@dadiopimp 5 лет назад

Incog2k6 ive been using it for black metal actually and the only reason it works is because of how shitty it sounds

@cerclesvicieux 5 лет назад

Just the comparison I wanted to see. I agree that the Fullbore has more gain, very noticeably so, but I also agree that the Badass would be good stack where the Fullbore would probably overwelm another fx pedal. Also, sd in the comments, I think the Badass is certainly more versatile even though it has less gain. I suppose it's a matter of preference, and it's not that I think the Fullbore isn't any better or worse, but unless you wanted that insane ammount of gain all the time (even though I love it) you would be better off wiht the Badass. The other thing that speaks to me about the Badass are the simplest of controls, basically one does the same think on an amp to get distortion--you overdrive a channel and then dial in the volume, something I've done for years and I have never needed a distortion pedal. That said, I agree with comments on some of the other reviews that if you simply have a good amp and know how to tweak your channels, you have no need for a distortion pedal.

@TheYagomestre 6 лет назад

Your set is making the Fullbore much more noisey than usual. The MXR M116 is a GREAT METAL pedal, but you have to learn how to tame the beast. Once you EQ it right it's pure chaosbreeder. If you don't like it, you probably don't like high gain distortions, and metal...

@TheJofrica 4 года назад

What’s your favorite EQ setting?

@twostroketodd5981 6 лет назад

The recorded audio does not do this pedal justice. For modern metal it’s perfect. Even though the videos audio doesn’t do it justice, the pedal does have a lot of tonal adjustment. With a tube amp its perfect!

@The13Guevara 18 дней назад

@bultronlagore2095 4 года назад

I play mainly Technical Death Metal, Jazz And Funk And one of the best cheap pedals I discovered that can hit all these genres well and only costs you around $30 bucks is the Danelectro Fab Tone. No joke. I’ve been playing guitar for 20+ years and if you are on a tight budget and need a good cheap pedal then check it out.

@Stutter-Step 3 года назад

something in the middle would be nice... the super sounds muffed and the full sounds like a can of bees... i would choose full because i think i could get a good tone from it tho

@cjfinnigan1 7 лет назад

would the Fullbore metal pedal sound good through a marshall DSL15C on the clean channel with half gain and scooped mids?

@asmallfarmhomestead3657 7 лет назад

Christopher Finnigan probably not lol it doesn't sound very good by itsef....look up some RU-vid tutorials about how to get good metal tone or even how not to get a metal tone to help you out...usually scooping mids is a dangerous game for tone

Dalton Heitmann alright man thanks for letting me know, what O' clock should I have my mids at on my amplifier and fullbore?

@asmallfarmhomestead3657 6 лет назад

Christopher Finnigan honestly I can't say because I don't have that amp or even that pedal, but what you could try it just put bass and treble at noon and sweep the mids just to see the range and then find a spot that sounds good to you....from there you could tweak bass and treble individually....just keep in mind guitar is a mid range instrument

You don't really get more distortion than you do on a Fullbore. I use mine with half gain and scooped mids. Sounds brutal through any solid-state amp. I sometimes use a Maxon OD808 as a clean boost in front for more sustain. The Fullbore is the only distortion pedal I have now...

@MusicBlissMalaysiaTV 7 лет назад

Using the OD808 is a great idea....keeps the clarity of the distortion....

@FretFriendGWaL 7 лет назад

Yes. It can get a little fizzy and muddy if using too much gain. The distortion is very clear and has much sustain with the 808 in front (0 gain on the 808).

@jumpingman8160 7 лет назад

I own the Super Badass. It's a very good and versatile dirt box, but it doesn't go anywhere near the "more modern metal" they advertise. To accomplish that I use a Marshall BluesBraker 2 to juice it up [I find it a very good pair, given that the BB2 really opens up the sound and character of the SBA or even to the Seymour Duncan Tweak Fuzz I also have]. The EQ on the SBA is also quite good. I find the FB to be way to hairy and buzz saw nasty [which I personaly dislike on a dirt box]. It has a very strange EQ as well.

@yaboi6074 7 лет назад

I have the Super badass distortion pedal with my Blackstar ID 30 TVP amp, but like you are saying I'm not getting anywhere near the modern metal sound. Do you reccomend me using the Marshall Bluesbraker 2 with my superbadass distortion to get that metal sound. (can you please make a very very quick video of you using those two pedals, I'd really appreciate it.)

@jumpingman8160 7 лет назад

I Am Your Mother Hi Sadly I don't have any way of making a video [and I was asked quite a few times to do pedal demos]. I do recommend the BB2 by itself. It's a damn good and inexpensive overdrive + clean booster [you can chose either of the two functions]. Also built like an absolute tank. The character of the BB2 allows it to further drive any dirt box you may have to get that extra "something". I do, however, recommend a noise gate when using the BB2 with the SBA cause it can get a bit noisy. But the result is quite good. I'm very please with how the BB2 works with other dirt pedals [if you put the tone of the BB2 at around 1 to 3 o'clock it really "opens" whatever dirt pedal it feeds].

@yaboi6074 7 лет назад

Thanks! I already have a noise gate so I probably will get the BB2
