Boss DS-2 TURBO Distortion

Analog distortion pedal.
3 knobs: level, tone, drive, plus a "potinterrupteur" that we turn to switch to turbo.
can connect a footswitch.
I take off one point for the single tone knob, which limits possible sounds.
box super strong (the knobs too)

UTILIZATION

It plugs directly into the amp, it is pressed and it's good, it's frankly not complicated.
the knob "level" is accurate, just right.
the battery lasts quite a while, it is used in our local, several groups (it was not all afford to have an individual office) and it's been two weeks it takes for two hours of use per day on average.
you can easily find a good sound grunge.
by knob against the "tone" makes it sound very showy from a half of the race, I personally put it at 10.
I take off one point for the tone knob evil "standard"

SOUND QUALITY

Well, for the sounds, it must be clear, it is done for grunge! Crunch sounds are not terrible, it's still cold, and too dirty. by against, with more gain, it sounds great (for the grunge always), the sound is perfect with a special grain, légèrementcoloré, etc ... (as you push too much on the tone knob), however it lacks saturation mode 1, the turbo mode with just enough of that side.
the metalheads go their way, the palm mutes are pathetic, its typed pan with a bic stilo, pathetic (I have a digitech death metal, it has nothing to do, the grunge ds2 is a scooter, the Ariane 5 is death metal!)
I take away two points for versatility, then 8 because in his field is great.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two weeks earlier, with a Telecaster Custom and a dean, it is great for grunge, with its grain so special is a treat for the grunge, punk ... on the other hand for the metal is a horror! it is pitiful (compared to a death metal digitech, dod, or mt2) so I repeat again, NOT FOR METAL! it is very good in the grunge, leave it where it is.
it is worth the price, I got it for 75 euros, and jen parcequ'elle'm glad I can visit records quieter than metal. and as it is used in addition to the five groups that come in the room, so I do it again this choice, but by removing only (no concurrency serious in these prices)
