The Joyo UZI is a high-gain distortion pedal from Joyo Audio delivering heavy metal distortion with powerful saturation and tight, focused low end. The UZI provides the aggressive, high-gain character suited to modern metal, thrash, and heavy rock at Joyo's accessible budget price point. Controls include gain, tone, and volume for voicing the heavy distortion across metal rhythm and lead applications.
The TC Electronic Fangs Metal Distortion is a compact, affordable distortion pedal built to deliver serious high-gain tone, covering everything from tight, syncopated thrash riffing to slow, drone-heavy doom and sludge metal. Gain, Volume, Bass, and Treble controls handle the basics, while a mid-frequency selector switch with Raw, Fat, and Scoop settings shapes the pedal's core character across the spectrum of biting metal tones. Reviewers note the gain response is unusually open and liquid for a budget metal distortion, with a gain knob sweep that stays musical and usable across its full range rather than jumping straight to extreme saturation.
