A truly metal experience
I brought this pedal because I needed a cheap alternative for a tour situation. Was very pleasantly surprised, not only the two effects are very distincted, but also the sound changes provide alot of possibilities and styles. The gain regulation can work also if you want to trow some dirt on your blues. Levels and volume are very detailed for his price range. Thebox is in metal so it's not easy to break. Only reason for no five stars are the knobs that look a little fragile. If you have to start with ametal pedal buy this one.

Good for price!
For the price level it is very good! equalization is easy and knobs feeling is good. Becarefull on the highs.
Boost option is crap!!! horrible sound and not possible to store individual equalization.! Thats the only negative point i have.

Great Value for money
Great pedal. For the full range of sounds that this pedal is capable of you need to put the guitar signal first through a compressor then into the Extreme Metal pedal.
it's very good for the price.

A handy shortcut to metal!
Bought this on a whim to explore some more extreme gain territory in a way I could switch on with my feet. Very usable tones in general if you're not too fussy, and a great way to get a satisfying metal "chug"! The boost switch is probably better left ignored - it seems to send the pedal into unusable territory, so it's probably best not to buy this with the intent to use that function as a boost for solos - it just ends up hissy. Slight issues with the construction of mine - very sturdy casing, but occasionally the connection fails and needs to be switched on and off again a few times to make it work again. Probably an easy fix, but I haven't been too bothered - I mostly use it at home anyway!

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.

Good quality good value
Clone of the Electro Harmonix Metal Muff
Great build quality, Silent dosent hiss or hum with no input, good bypass, good controls, good range of sounds and tones availiable, boost works great with compressor placed infront of it. not sure about the extreme metal name, its no HM2 (no chainsaw/buzzsaw swedish death metal tone) but overall I would say a good general Metal distortion pedal.

Good sound, but noisy
This pedal has a great metal sound (I love it!). Ideal for lead lines. The only thing that lets me down is that I have to switch of the pedal immediatly after playing, because it can be very noisy.
Good value for the money though...

Slaps!
The pedal on its own kicks butt, now combine it with an EQ and the right settings and you got yourself the nastiest chugging tone

Harley Benton Extreme Metal
It sounds great in front of a Laney LC30-ii, great sound, not harsh at all.
At first, I thought it was average when I was using it for recording direct into an audio interface.
An amp makes all the difference.
