mr zed Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Just picked one of these up from my local PMT. Yes, there are pedals out there that may do it better than this but £39....! Tried it at rehearsal last night and it works perfectly for what I wanted it to do (DI, distortion, compression and the ability to blend the dry signal in with the processed signal). Just thought i'd share in case anyone is on the look out for one. https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/electro-harmonix-bass-metaphors-preamp-eq-distortion-compressor-di-multi-effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonse Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Good deal, just had a look on ebay and GAK have the same deal. Might get one just to thicken up the practice amp. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The59Sound Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) Do you know what distortion EHX uses for this? If it's the OD Glove, I would be very tempted. Do you know also if the bass and treble is boost AND cut? Edited September 30, 2018 by The59Sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not loads of info on the distortion circuit https://www.ehx.com/products/bass-metaphors/instructions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr zed Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) I A/B tested the distortion sound on the Metaphors alongside a bass big muff pedal and they both sounded very similar to my ears. I believe the treble & bass eqs are boost only. Hope that helps. Edited September 30, 2018 by mr zed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonse Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 So the metaphors arrived at work today. Its bigger than I thought it would be (certainly bigger than the beloved sansamp) so it may not see any board time. I'll certainly give it a shot at home or recording though.
