Description

Unleash your inner metalhead with the Line 6 Uber Metal, a powerhouse of distortion that fits right at your feet. Part of the renowned ToneCore series, this high-gain overdrive effects pedal is engineered to deliver intense tonal aggression, perfect for shredders and riff-heavy guitarists. With the Line 6 HD147 and Vetta II high-gain presets at your disposal, you can switch between "Metal," "Pulverize," and "Insane" modes, each offering its unique flavor of distortion—from the raw grind of heavy metal to the intense scream of molten soundscapes.

For those who crave precision in their sound, the Uber Metal provides robust EQ controls. The Mid and Scoop settings let you dial in frequencies from 250Hz to 4kHz, allowing for powerful tonal sculpting. The Drive control adjusts the distortion level, while Bass and Treble knobs fine-tune the low and high frequencies, granting you complete command over your sonic output. A built-in noise gate with adjustable settings ensures your signal remains clean, whether you're going for a soft touch or a full-on sonic assault.

Constructed with rugged die-cast housing, the Uber Metal is built to withstand the demands of both the stage and the studio. Its compact design integrates seamlessly into any pedalboard setup, powered by a 9V battery or optional DC adapter. Step on the Line 6 Uber Metal and experience the raw power of three distinct gain modes in a single, versatile stompbox.
