Harley Benton Extreme Metal Reviews

Très bonne pédale

Je la joue depuis maintenant 3 voir 4 mois et franchement elle envoie du lourd

Awesome Pedal for a very affordable price!

This pedal is really for the extremists out there. If you want to play Thrash Metal, Death Metal, Even Black Metal, you might want to give this a try. I play Black Metal mostly, ergo I crank up the treble a lot and along with good tube amp, this can take you far. If you're looking for atmosphere in your music, using dissonant chords, with heavy distortion, Harley Benton have not forgotten you. The Feedback level of this pedal whilst quite high at points adds to the already powerful sustain. The Bass knob whilst very good, is that of a distortion pedal, so in that sense do not expect too much out of it unless you have a good amp. The Treble and mids at low levels, will give you a healthy blues overdrive sound, whilst at higher levels, will enable you to achieve a grungier, Thrashier or a more extreme sound. It is a very versatile pedal, and for its price, it is definetely worth trying out. Best piece of advice I can offer with this pedal, is a noise gate pedal as well, as the feedback unless controlled through the Boost and Drive knobs, can get pretty dirty at points, so combatting it with a good noise gate, is the way to go.

Ok for beginners or intermediate players

As many times mentioned Boost feature is unusable, everything else is OK for beginners and some intermediate players.

Insanely good sounding distortion with just 30$

The gain on this is huge, and it sounds really good, even without using the boost. The boost kind of ruins the tone because it makes the treble skyrocket, but you can fix that somewhat with the EQ.

Metal pedal

Brilliant little pedal. I get the perfect sound I want to s hg red my guitar.

incredible value, Mesa-type distortion

I was super surprised by this pedal, it gives me a Mesa type tone, far better than any amp sims distortion. I use it with the cabs in Amplitube 5, it works great. This pedal gives many sounds, the controls seem interactive. This is not a pedal that gives you 1 sound. For this price? Incredible. Other companies would charge you 2 or 3 times for this. Built to last years, low noise, I compared it with other pedals.

Guter Lauf

Solides effect pedal mit dem versprochenen Metal-Sound. Funktionierte ohne Probleme mit Gitarre und Ukulele 😉

Great amp sim for the price

This little thing was part of my main rig for almost two years. The sound is trying to mimic a mesa dual rectifier and it does a fairly decent job I'd say. The build quality was okay, but at one point the switch for the drive wouldn't work if you hit it at an angle though. Other than that this is a very good pedal for the price

Not bad, not great

Pros:

- decent amount of knobs to play around with

- build seems solid enough

- some nasty-ish sounds to be had

Cons:

- not very versatile despite the amount of adjustments

- you're not going to get any great sounds out of this

Good value for the price

As pretty much everyone knows, Harley Benton makes really affordable, yet good sounding pedals and this is no exeption.

Is it the best one I've used? No, but it's a great start for building your pedalboard.

I love the variety of tone you can achieve with it. Very versitile for anything metal.

Wide variety of sound

Good solid construction, not especially heavy but sticks to the floor well.

The sounds within range from the soft to the heavy, and you should have fun twiddling the extensive array of knobs.

Worth a punt as it's low priced but regardless is as good a pedal as any out there in its class.

Great for its price

For its price this pedal is amazing. It gives a good distortion that can be high toned and supports bass along with it. Ideal for black metal. The only disadvantage is that it makes noise when is active and not playing especially in higher volumes. So I wouldn't recommend it for a loud rehearsal or a live concert. But you can use it for recording.

Great

Does exactly what I want it to do

extreme to the core

Nice, solid construction, better than the Brngr ones I own. Also the sounds I can get out of it are real metal, on the heavier side of things. No jealous of the more expensive units at all

I like how this gadget sounds when used as a preamp (with ir), it turns out quite a nice fat overload

Perfect. This has became my new favourite pedal.

Awesome Pedal

Great pedal capable of easily producing manageable grit and distortion. I am primarily a rhythm player and have been very pleased with this pedal--chords do not get muddy. Also a great overdrive.

Very nice pedal, with gread sound for cheap price!

Extreme Metal Pedal, great product.

Received this item yesterday. It's sturdy and very easy to dial in your required tone. Some youtube reviews have stated that the boost dial does nothing. This is definitely not true- if you want to peel off a lead break, it works wonders at giving you extra control over certain frequencies.

I am a guitarist who dabbles in various extreme metal styles- and I'm yet to find a style that isn't complimented by this pedal. It's incredibly dynamic. I also use a Digitech DM, which definitely could not be described as dynamic (they turned gain to full and tore the knob off), it's great to have that control back through this pedal.

Great effect for the price

Great effect for the price. I like the variety of tone which it gives you.
