    I’m having trouble with my new Metal Muff. Ive tried everything and nothing seems to work. I have read through the Tech post on why pedals aren’t working right and none of it pertains to mine. I’ve tried several fresh batteries, i’ve used the same power supply I use for my EHX Knockout. I have a cable tester. I have put it out front and put it through the effects loop of my Marshall TSL602. Nothing seems to work……. I am using a gibson LP with p90’s and a gibson LP with humbuckers(both using stock pups). I turn it on through my clean channel with the amp and pedal settings at noon(or lower) and the guitars volume at 1. The pedal seems to give me a 2 amp clean/dirty type of effect. I get a taste of the metal and the clean channel combined, with the addition of a screaming noise the louder I turn things up. Please help.

    What exactly isn’t working? Just not finding a good placement for it or good sound out of it? Or is it not passing signal or being really quiet?

    Well I guess the pedal is not working………..did I not give a good enough description about what is happening? Im not trying to be a dick but I am already confused enough. I shouldn’t hear a clean guitar sound with the pedal engaged, right? In my post, “nothing seems to work,” is referring to my ways of trying to use/adjust the pedal/amp/guitar. Then when I try to turn the amp and/or the pedal and/or the guitar up, all I get is the same sound. But the screaming hiss is the only thing that gets louder and louder.

    Yeah, you generally don’t hear a clean sound with the metal muff engaged, no.

    Can you try it with a “closed” signal source like a CD player or synth or drum machine? (a cd player won’t feedback so this is to test if the MM is causing oscillation or something with your amp, or if it’s not vibing with your guitar.)
    Make sure all the knobs are working intuitively, and if all that works well, then hook up your guitar and see if that works on the same settings.

    report back, regardless of whether it works or not.
