Fangs Metal Distortion : Good pedal for a synth

4 years ago

I'm using it with two synths: Odyssey and Model D and my review is written for those who want to use it with synths.

Works good for both but I think that sound-wise it's better with Model D. Unfortunately Low Output of Model D is very quiet and for the distortion pedal I would recommend something before Fangs (boost or drive).

About settings: RAW and FAT are the best and I couldn't find any application for Scoop yet. For synths it would be nice to have a knob for Mids for better control I think.

Sonically it's very good. It has this vibe of the '80s. Easy to make hard leads. Some basic synth patch plus this pedal and I'm immediately hooked up to play fast riffs almost like a guitarist would do.

If you want to have a heavy distortion pedal for your synth and don't pay a lot, Fangs will most likely satisfy your needs. Just keep in mind that it requires quite hot signal if you really want to drive it hard.
