Guitar players are very particular. This much we know at Fluid Audio. After Fluid launched the original Strum Buddy, it wasn’t long before Fluid's customers were asking for a version that better represented their favorite type of music: METAL! They basically wanted a harder-edged version! Using the same basic design as the original.
The Metal Edition also has a Chrome colored speaker grille, differentiating it in look as well from the original. Where the original Strum Buddy used a Crunch distortion sound (more reminiscent of the ‘60s or ‘70s rock guitar) the Metal Edition has an over-saturated Overdrive sound – which is more like the Grunge and Metal sounds of the 2000’s.
Where the original has a Chorus setting, the Metal Edition has a Phaser effect, which used in tandem with the distortion, creates a classic solo guitar sound. The Reverb is the same great Reverb found on the Strum Buddy. Whether you’re at home or on the road, either Strum Buddy makes a great practice/rehearsal tool when you’re away from your main, stage rig.
