The new Digitech X Series XMM Metal Master Distortion Pedal can
morph between various different amp
distortion sounds for a whole new level of sound creativity. Now you
don’t have to settle for a one-trick-pony distortion stompbox.
It also has Spectral- contouring Equalization which gives you wider,
stronger EQ control than ever before. And that’s not all! The Metal
Master not only has a normal output, it also has a second output
that has cabinet emulation so you can go direct to board. Name
anyone else with those features!
Each distortion stompbox features a huge range of different distortion
types that can be morphed into different combinations as you
rotate our exclusive Distortion Morph knob. This gives you a near
unlimited supply of combinations. Now, you are no longer stuck with
only one distortion type in a pedal. But that’s not all. There are two
outputs, one for normal signal out, and one that features advanced
cabinet modeling for live and recording direct-to-board
applications. And instead of the standard stompbox tone controls,
we’ve even incorporated our innovative spectral-contouring EQ,
which delivers a far greater tone range than other distortion
stompboxes.
Level Knob
Controls the effect’s output level. Turn this knob clockwise to increase
the output level, and counter-clockwise to decrease output level.
Low Knob
Controls the boost or cut of low frequencies. Turn this knob clockwise
to increase the low frequency content, and counter-clockwise to
decrease the low frequency content.
High Knob
Controls the boost or cut of high frequencies. Turn this knob clockwise
to increase the high frequency content, and counter-clockwise to
decrease the high frequency content.
Morph Knob
Morphs between the three different distortion voicings the Hot Rod has
to offer. The knob’s minimum position features a smooth, warm
distortion tone. The 12 o’clock position has a classic, edgy distortion
sound reminiscent to that of a British Stack. The maximum position
gives you a high gain fuzz distortion. Experimenting with different knob
positions provides a wide variety of different tones never before
available in a single pedal.
AC Adapter Jack
Connect a DigiTech PS200R power supply to this jack. Use the proper
supply for your area’s Mains line voltage.
Input Jack
Connect your instrument to this jack. Connecting a guitar cable to this
jack engages battery power even though the Indicator LED may not be
lit. To prolong battery life, disconnect all cables from the pedal when not
in use.
Pedal Release Pins
These two pins are spring-loaded hinges that hold the pedal in place.
Push these pins in to release the pedal from the chassis exposing the
battery compartment. (See battery replacement diagram.)
Out 1(Amp) Jack
Connect this output to your guitar amplifier.
Out 2 (Mixer) Jack
This output features DigiTech’s CIT™ cabinet modeling technology, that
lets you run the pedal directly into a mixer or recorder input without
having to use a guitar amplifier.
Indicator LED
Indicates when the effect is turned on. If the LED becomes dim or does
not light when the cables are connected, the battery needs to be
replaced.
Connections
The Metal Master has a single input (INPUT) and a pair of outputs (AMP
and MIXER). The two outputs give you the following options: running
into a guitar amplifier, or running directly to a mixing console or
recording device, or both. The MIXER output uses DigiTech’s advance
CIT™ cabinet modeling technology for an authentic guitar amplifier
sound without using an amp.
