Boss DA-2 Adaptive Distortion

Pedal analog OD / Disto. Format Boss. 4 SHELVES (Level, Low, Hight, Gain).

UTILIZATION

Very simple config. I have not looked at the manual, and type setting.
The resulting sounds, all sounds are excellent. Actually used very little EQ. All e happening with the gain level. The Level is a kind of master, which does not change the saturation and the desired grain.

SOUND QUALITY

I play in a group repises standarts rock from the 70s to the present day:
Free, deepe Purple, AC / DC, ZZ Top, Trust, Ozzy Osburn, Metallica, Slash, Telephone, L.Kravitz RAG, Gun's, etc ....
I'm the only guitarist, so I handle rhythms and solos, and must adjust both gains and Level. Not always easy when you multiply these various titles to very characteristic sounds.
The LP / config Marshall is obvious: With this pedal, simply change the gain, gives you the color. Defined, warm, punchy without being aggressive, mediums you need for the Roar ... all the notes are clear and audible (an arpeggio saturation, qd it's clean, it's super good: - ) even qd.
In Rymth, as lead, sending it very very hard. Very nice.
I like the grain Marshall, especially the sound (and the game) Slash (including his Snakepit), but all the sounds mentioned above, are easily obtained, and makes you want to play (I did a session 3 hours in one go .....
With a slight reverb and delay (feedback 0) gain 3.4 on the AD-2, you're more "Panama" by Van Halen. Harmonic whistle immediately, and so on ....

OVERALL OPINION

Bought Yesterday!
I tried a lot of models, but never the grain and definition have seduced me (Boss, Seymour, Ibanez (TubeKing, etc. ..), Fulltone, etc .....
It is an OD pedal to the big and very very nice distortion. It's never baveau.
Not for metal and more.
I play on a Marshall DSL 100 head and a 4x12 V30.Delay Flashback.
Priced at € 129, excellent good quality / price ratio. Too bad (too late), a pub on the fact Audiofanzine 98 € !!!!
This is one of the best pedals I tried for a very logntemps.
I myself is never 10/10, but sometimes it's tempting !!!!!
