this pedal has bass all day. the overdrive is completely out of control. with a guitar, it'll be feeding back even at really really low volumes. shit is totally crazy.

it kind of flattens out your sound... obviously, it's an extreme distortion pedal. but it can be made sound better by putting an EQ after it, or something.

it sounds great for bass guitar, but don't let your bass player use it if you want to hear anything else!!

Good Points: low end
boss
adequate gain
totally overwhelming

Bad Points: kind of flat
overwhelming

This pedal is good for making a staticy fuzz sound if you
roll the treble off. It 's really good to kick another
distortion into wall of sound country. I would recommend
it if you want a second pedal that's out of the ordinary.

Good Points: It does distort your signal very well is its own unique
way.

Bad Points: It only really makes one sound, but it does it well.

This pedals alright but i'd still keep it just because they don't make um anymore.

Good Points: They can have a lot of great tones

Bad Points: You can't hear it real good

Not as Versatile as the Metal Zone. but if you need a another high gain distortion to add an extra "overdriven" sound to another effect this bad boy is a good beginng.

Good Points: solid boss construction, overall not a primary distortion but a great high gain distortion

Bad Points: none yet...

The Hyper Metal is an alright pedal.
It's solid and constant like
everything Boss makes. For
tweaking and whatnot, it's not so
fantastic. But for hooking to other
pedals, it really provides a dirty
distortion. Especially to delay.

Good Points: Constant/solid sound
Tough
Hooks up to other pedals well
Good feedack

Bad Points: Not too much tweak power
Doesn't get too white-noisy
