Aria MP-5 Metal Pedal Distortion Rare Vintage Guitar Effect Pedal MIJ | Second Hand
Aria MP-5 Metal Pedal Distortion Rare Vintage Guitar Effect Pedal MIJ | Second Hand
The Aria MP-5 Metal Pedal is engineered to expand upon the tonal limitations of traditional high-gain circuits by introducing active equalization into a dedicated distortion platform. Part of Aria's specialized performance series, this unit is voiced specifically to deliver a smoother, more musical saturation profile that retains string definition and note separation during extended lead lines and dense rhythm tracking.
Housed in a rugged, road-ready chassis, the hardware is constructed to handle the high-impact demands of frequent stage and studio use. The mechanical design features an integrated anti-slip rubber base for stability on smooth surfaces, a heavy-duty physical switching mechanism, and a convenient hinged battery compartment door for rapid power swaps. The top control layout consists of four precision analog potentiometers for Dist (distortion depth), Level (absolute output volume), Low, and High frequency adjustments.
Key Features
-
Saturated Distortion Profile: Formulated to deliver a smooth, harmonically rich distortion character that balances aggressive high-gain clipping with natural, vocal-like sustain.
-
Refined Lead and Rhythm Voicings: Offers a less brittle transient response compared to standard hard-clipping distortion circuits, making it highly effective for liquid solo tracking and full-bodied power chords.
-
Precise Level Matching: Independent Gain and Level controls allow users to precisely gain-stage the pedal, balancing the input sensitivity against the clean headroom of an external amplifier.
Active Frequency Sculpting
-
Dual-Band Active EQ: Employs an active electronic equalization network rather than a traditional passive tone filter, enabling both cutting and boosting of critical guitar frequencies.
-
Low-Frequency Depth Control: The Low parameter is centered at 100Hz with a wide 20dB operational range, designed to add low-end weight and cabinet-like thud or clean up muddy sub-frequencies.
-
Mid-Range Presence Adjustments: The High parameter acts upon a specialized 1kHz frequency band with a 20dB sweep, allowing players to scoop the mids for modern metal textures or boost them for a forward, mix-cutting presence.
