Ibanez CM-5 Classic Metal

This little stomp box is as easy as they come for a great eighties overdrive sound. No manual needed; you just plug in and step on it.

If thick and chunky overdrive is what you want, then this is the pedal for you. It can be very noisy if you truy to use it with a single coil at high volume. I suggest a really loud humbucker like a Screaming Deamon or a PAF pickup for best results. It is classic eighties heavy metal pedal- a must for any fan of the decade.

It has never once failed on me. Although I do suggest using a power supply for it on a gig, a nine volt battery gives it a really thick sound.

Never dealt with 'em

I would never buy it again because I would never have to . It is an awesome, kick ass pedal. It is a great overdrive unit with a really wide high end and a gain from the underworld. VERY RECOMMENDED!!

It has 3 knobs. Any retard could figure it out. The manual basically tells you how to plug it in, in about 40 different languages.

The sound quality is ok. It goes with a very high toned metal sound like its called, classic metal.

It is extremely dependable, so far. I havent had it that long, but it never cuts out on me.

The pedal didnt come with any freakin warrenty.

For the price, I would buy it again. Its cheap and dependable. The only thing wrong with it is that its made out of plastic. But it is very sensitive, so you dont need to stomp it.. a small tap will do the trick.

This pedal is pretty easy to use. Three knobs, level, tone, and distortion. Real easy. The manual that came with it wasn't really very helpful. Just told me how to plug it in.

Well the sound quallity is.. good I guess. It depends on what kind of sound you want. It's fuzzy and get's alot of bass if the tone is turned up. But turning the tone up to high seems to make the lower notes kind of muddy and mushed up. You can turn the distortion down to get a dirty sort of feel to a clean sounding guitar. Oh yeah, and my favorit part of this pedal. Turn your amp volume to a sorta meduim volume, then crank the level to you get ear slitting distortion!!! When I use the pick-up closest to the finger booard I get alot of nice feedback.

STUPID usless buggy web page.. Well the form sheet thing won't let me type in the Sound Quality box any more so I'll continue here. Nice loud distortion. Sounds like the distortion on Nirvana's "Big Long Now". Don't let me fool you, the distortion on that song isn't classic Nirvana.
I think it's plastic. It's black with an orange label. Never brook in my life but I've only had it for a month at the most. For God's sake! Don't go stomping on it as hard as you can or though it into the pavement, just press the foorswitch down ok!!!! The batteries haven't gone dead yet. Disconnect the input line when your not using it. But I don't know if it makes a difference.

It's good!
