OVERDRIVE- FENDER Full Moon Distortion ...can Fender make a serious Metal pedal ???

 FENDER FULL MOON DISTORTION 

$180.00 USD
This is Fenders Heavy Metal ...solution? I had to laugh when I saw the name they gave it. Metal pedals often get names with words like Devil or Demon which I will agree does suggest the night but 'Full Moon'??? Yes guys this is the wholesome Metal pedal. LOL Obviously chosen by someone in marketing as he straighten the collar on his new Gucci suit. LOL

CONCLUSION
Well the tone is not bad and sound is full. The gain is a bit tame and the sound is not as tight as you may want for chugging, 7 Strings or even just doing a dropped D tuning.
It has been designed to sound it's best going into a clean amp. That said you can switch it to symmetrical distortion or in plain English turn it into a high gain Tube Screamer to to push an amp set to Crunch. 
It ain't no REVV 3 red but it is a third cheaper. Most serious 
players are using pedals made by makers that specialize in 
Metal or they head for a serious Fuzz.
The price is fair and the build overall is excellent.
