OVERDRIVE- ROWIN Holy War ...the youngest in a family of 3

ROWIN HOLY WAR 

$25.00 USD

It is a Mooer Blade Distortion that is rebranded with the Rowin label. It is Mooer's take on the Electro Harmonix Metal Muff. The layout is volume, tone and a switch for two levels of boost.

There  isn't any rich detail in tone on even the most pricy flat out Metal pedal but the raw harmonics are so prevalent they can't get muddy. Mooer pedals have on the whole lost any serious fullness by having to dumb down pedals to meet a price point. Oddly this is a plus for this pedal. The real Metal Muff is ancient and went for a big sound so the lows are a raw mushy mess where the Mooer is much tighter. It is what it is so expect it to be noisy.

CONCLUSION

Keep in mind this pedal is all about being a chunky aggressive chugging machine and it does it's job actually really well. Like a lot of Metal OD's they sound best the harder they hit. Roll back much gain and you see that the seams may sound a bit unstitched.

In short it sounds as pro as many pricy gourmet efforts as long as you slam it! 😇
