A distortion designed for extreme metal, with no compromises
The EYEMASTER METAL DISTORTION was created with a simple idea: to capture the DNA of Swedish death metal, that sound nicknamed "buzzsaw" for its sawblade-like grain. Here, there is no promise of transparency or subtlety: this pedal delivers a strong, brutal, and immediate distortion, capable of turning a clean amp into a wall of saturation with a radical character.
Who is it for? From heavy riffing to Swedish death metal
This pedal is aimed at guitarists who want an aggressive and dominant sound in the mix: death metal, hardcore, crust punk, sludge, as well as any context where a dirty and spectacular tone is sought. Thanks to its ultra-direct operation, it suits both beginners who want a "big sound" without getting lost in settings, and experienced musicians who want a dedicated color on a pedalboard (in the studio or on stage).
It excels in front of a clean (or slightly crunchy) channel to sculpt an immediate sound, and can also serve as an "extreme color" on a second signal path (dual amp, layered takes, layers of rhythm guitars).
Minimalist controls, maximum results
The 2-knob interface goes straight to the point: Volume to adjust output level, and Gain to go from an already heavily charged distortion to massive saturation. The control response is described as very sensitive: a small movement can strongly change the amount of saturation and the impact felt under the fingers.
On the signal side, the true bypass allows the pedal to be removed from the circuit when off, convenient if you want to preserve the character of your guitar and other effects without added coloration.
The sound
Expect a very distinctive distortion, rich in harmonics, with a rough grain and a sharp attack: the kind of texture that feels like a circular saw in the mids and a compact wall on palm mutes. The EYEMASTER does not try to "blend in": it imposes a sonic signature, ideal for Scandinavian-style death metal rhythms and abrasive leads that stay mean even when the band plays loud.

Questions frequently asked
What kind of sound does the TC Electronic Eyemaster Metal Distortion produce?
The sonic signature targets Swedish death metal, featuring a rough "buzzsaw" grain rich in harmonics. The mids evoke a sawblade-like texture, while palm mutes gain in thickness.
Does the pedal work with a clean amp?
This pedal is designed to be placed in front of a clean or slightly crunch channel. It then transforms the signal into a heavily charged distortion, suitable for heavy rhythm parts.
How many controls are available?
Two controls are present: Volume adjusts the output level, and Gain sets the amount of saturation. The gain response is described as sensitive, with marked changes from small movements. This setup favors straightforward adjustment.
Is true bypass included on this distortion?
A true bypass circuit removes the pedal from the signal path when it's turned off, preventing any added coloration.
What power supply is required for the Eyemaster Metal Distortion?
The indicated power supply is mains type. No battery operation or power connector specifications are mentioned.
