All user reviews for the Boss MD-2 Mega distortion

The effects are arranged distortion (hopefully ^ ^) kind of boosted high gain compressed / mixed which has the distortion can give overdrive, all digital, we suspect ... input output connection, bypass (sympathetic no loss of sound with a good wiring) operates a battery or AC ...
on the other hand for settings it gets harder, you will see below, 5 knobs (level, tone / bottom, dist, gain boost) that interact with each other for some color and sound ...
There is good possibility to vary the sound, albeit a bit complex but I put that 8

UTILIZATION

The manual is clear in both French and copies englois the configue ... humm ... how to say ... I almost resell, precisely because of this ... ^ ^
available distortion and boost gain, all goes well, the gain changes the sound as a normal gain with distortion, it makes this one cooler (if zero) or dirty, ranging from large distortion, neo metal has a semblance of overdrive, via a large rock has its ac / dc.
Or it gets harder the frankly it's at the bottom and tone knob that interact together on the dist and gain boost in addition to changing mediums and shine, we see that the last 4 buttons form a whole, and that a change of the first two changes everything oO it causes uprooting of hair in all directions! We found quite easily with a nice sound, but with a gap between the bass and treble or with a slamming attack that can not manage to remove without changing everything!

SOUND QUALITY

The sounds are realistic, however, we feel the digital side when you push a little ... and especially the pedal looks like the active pickups and lamps :/
The same sound on my les paul (active) is less convincing on my ltd (passive)

Now for the "happy owners" of the machine that is not pounced or sold, sacrificed, burned in a bonfire or other ^ ^ I bring a small contrib some cool sounds that sounds good with the toy:

a kind of large overdrive: level 10/11, tone / bottom 14 dist 15, gain 12

Cold distortion, sharp: level 10/11 13.5 tone bottom 14 dist 10, gain 10

a very big sound fairly balanced year 90: 10 level, tone bottom 13 14.5 10 dist gain 14

heavy sound: level 10 tone 13, bottom 13, 15 dist gain donf

here I put a note above the average for the resulting sounds are good, it still needs the obtenirs lol

OVERALL OPINION

There is little time that I have the machine, I tried other models, my musical tastes have evolved (old age) and large distortion, do not interest me, however ds1 seems more simple, this is a must.
The feature I like most is the variety of sounds obtained, sounds muffled the sound antiquated distortionné most current, through the overdrive, but difficult to get out in the settings is the black dot, I think it's better to have a distortion and a separate loop in its overdrive, or look at the competition pedal dist / overdrive exist and are much better I must admit ...
The price is not huge for a new product boss, the average price for a home distortion (well around 80 euros)
Uh honestly and now she is "tamed" I do not part with it, but it is clear that I do not have that choice if I could hack the craft live before you buy

This pedal at Boss offers a diverse palette of sound, say the grunge to nu-metal. Like all pedals brand is the sturdy (metal case).

UTILIZATION

Not the easiest to solve with its 5 knobs, it's a little confusing the first time trying. Let's say to get the desired sound, must be 2/3 minutes of testing but it is far from complicated. It is at this price you can get many types of distortion.

SOUND QUALITY

I use it with an Ibanez RGA42BK. I can get sounds really heavy and greasy, perfectly adapted to the nu-metal. If you want to tackle the most extreme styles (death / black / hardcore), be warned it is not made for that. The only fault I find with this pedal: a bottom knob used with caution, if one goes too low, the sound becomes rough.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost a year and I really satisfied. It's a good pedal to the styles in which I like to play: doom / groove / sludge metal and neo.

Here we have an analog distortion.
Metal case, robust enough.
Plastic knobs are too small for me with the double knob Verily impractical (the bottom).

UTILIZATION

The config is simple, you turn the knob and the sound changes.
Everything reacts fast enough.
No manual, you test your ear and told the rest ....
I saw on the net, made by Boss config for a particular sound. Hmm ...

SOUND QUALITY

I plug the pedal between a Laney VC15 and a rise in LP SD Alnico Pro 2.
Well it will not! Already, my sound is too synthetic, then we want to sound ultra heavy ... ok but that's just super mushy and it's hard to balance this thing with the treble too garish. In short it sounds fake everything.
So I try with my Lag equipped with microphones High Gain ... There is ouch ears.
A few days later I try again with an old Fender Telecaster micro reissu 62. Shit so it was not on top, but not too bad, less muddy bass (unless I said) a balance found anything.
In my opinion, avoid the high gain pickups and double coils and shovels mahogany.
It can work well on a strat to look at the Nirvana sound slightly boosted in low. Not too if we no longer distinguish anything.

OVERALL OPINION

I borrowed this trick for a test. For me it's wrong. In addition, considering the price of nine it would hurt me to buy it. Especially that for 100 € there are Blackstar ht DISTX tube. This is what I have, then necessarily I can be a bit difficult side distortion for good sound heavy but well defined.

I bought it at Guitar Center for about $80. Cheap for a pedal that will probably live longer than I will and still sound good.

It's a very strong pedal. It has nice deep lows and soaring highs that ring forever. You can squeeze many different distortions out of it if you're willing to play with it a little. I've done a strong Overdrive to a Metallica/Megadeth distortion to a Nu-Metal distortion from this box and there's plenty more than that.

There's not a lot I dislike about this pedal. Solid construction, great sound, versatility, what else can I say?

I could probably run it over with a tractor and still use it, but I'm not going to try because my tractor is in the shop right now.

If you want distortion, and dont mind messing around a little bit for your sound, the MD-2 is for you. Keep in mind that although you can get overdrive sounds out of it, this thing was made for metal so if you want overdrive, go elsewhere. For all you metal-heads out there, this one's for you.

Sound Control Bristol UK, bought for £69.00

I have a single coil strat copy, so I often had problems with distortion pedals as I felt they did not provide enough low-end, especially when trying to play heavy drop d stuff. Since I didn't have enough cash to buy a humbuckered metal beast of a guitar, I bought this pedal, and it didn't diiapoint. The low end boost is very helpful and makes my guitar sound totally different- much fuller and bassier.

So much bass that when I used the neck pickup when the amp was on loud, I nearly blew my speaker out!(So I went out and got a Fender 90w!)

It's a Boss, so its pretty much indestructable.

If you are tired of your guitar emitting clangy, treble high tones and you want some real substance to your guitar sound, buy this!

I bought this pedal at Spizter's Music. They were going out of business and I wanted to get a pedal. When I saw this I was like "I'm gettin this." I payed 80 bucks (retail is like $120)


I really like the deep vibes it plays when you put the tone, gain, bottom, and distortion all up. It's great for playing metal. It's good for Metallica, Pantera, Slayer, Slipknot, Mudvayne, etc.

There's really nothing I really dislike about this. It's an overall excellent distortion pedal.

The quality is great. It was well made and I really like Boss products.

Be sure to unplug both cables from the pedal when you're not playing it because if you leave in the cables, it drains the batteries faster.

Got it from AmericanMusical.com for 79.95 if I remember right.

You can get really bottom heavy distortion from this unit and occasionally if you get just the right settings you can get that one sweet distortion tone that everybody is always looking for, but rarely, if the planets are inline kinda thing.....

Too much low end. You have absolutely no control over the kind of distortion. You can't get any kind of mid scooped crunchy distortion with a lot of bite. I usually have my strings on my six string dropped down 2 1/2 steps, and with that kind of tuning with this bottom heavy of a distortion pedal it's just too much bass, no bite to the distortion. Also you get a lot of feedback when this thing is turned on, I could talk into my pickups and this thing would send the signal going crazy.

It's a Boss pedal, need I say more?....

Way too much low end and no control over the type of distortion. Stick with a distortion pedal with an onboard EQ, like the MT-2. But if you like bottom heavy distortion go for it, I'm just saying the tone this thing gives isn't quite my bag....

C is a standard distrotion down on a double circuit distortion
Analog technology is
an input and an output Mono Mono
c is a very sturdy pedals mtal flashy orange.
AC power adapter not included 9V or 9V battery
one level button for the rglage gnral
a double button for qualisation acting on bass and treble.
button a boost: the first type of circuit distortion overdrive
a gain boost button: 2 nd circuit distortion type mtal zone.

UTILIZATION

The pedals are super symple of use and c is super simple to find his wish ....
not need to Information notes on anything for its use.

SOUND QUALITY

I haven t t Strongly believes that the sound quality of the pedals. I find it too messy. No sound is really not prcis the sound is really dirty despite attempts rglages dist between the button and gain boost. Its strength has compared the MT2 c is the knob acting on the grave is very effective and the knob acting on the treble. You can really get a super heavy with really low standards. The grain of the distal end is rather like the MT2. But LeSon is really rough. Neo ax and really metal.

OVERALL OPINION

I've used for the 4 months my thinking complter MT 2 m does not have hardly used ... d in'm pretty dcu on sound reproduction ... the sound is really too brouilllon and if you push the two pots of a substance is obtained distos a feedback difficult to control. Its strength is its HUGE and super low Submitted if you turn the bass qualizer. I advise people who want to make a noise trononeuse or style of music really extreme.

See opinion pcdent, there is nothing to add.

UTILIZATION

The use is very simple, four knobs, and basta.
Although sr must take time to rgler well but the fact that serious.

SOUND QUALITY

I use it for my bass. I play an Ibanez amp and a Peavey SR300DX TNT115BW and frankly sends a standard potato, I who was looking for a bass sound very violent and I finally found a sound that closely matches bass nostromo.
on the other hand I tried it with one of my guitars and I have more in stock point of view distortion (Rocktron Gainiac: D)
APRS rgler well have my clean sound, the rglage on the pedals is a breeze, the hardest to have silent sound as transparent as possible in terms of any qualisation by adding a large distortion and well I russi.

OVERALL OPINION

I admit I use it only yesterday, but I tried several distortion pedals and rack with my bass and it's really the one that stands out, I admit that the pedals great distortion of the same brand of potato with low, but I missed one thing and Kelka with the pedals I found. I finally dbarrasse overdrive effect presets in my Bass V-amp pro (too rotten effects on the simulator, luckily the amp simulation is good).
The pedals with a low instead, gives you more to make the sound comes in, APRS you can grate the case to be giving more EHJV the bass keeping a clean his little prs (rock style), or send a destructive mega heavy (mtal gogo style) when a guitar solo from EHJV to keep in the song.
I like this with the bass pedals, but moderately with the guitar.

- Distortion, overdrive, both at the same time

- With such notice, I find that many c (its aid beginners)

SOUND QUALITY

OVERALL OPINION

I'll make it short, the pedals are not made for mtal (prcise enough) but it can nanmoins servire overdrive (see examples in the instructions supplied with the pedals) I'm so used to overdrive the SLAYER this exact specifications for a thicker sound and increase sustain.
I bought this in order to make the pedals GRUNGE and I can tell you to style of music is perfect.
All its saying, MD-2 = GRUNGE not mtal!

As above

UTILIZATION

Easy to use is a Boss ..

SOUND QUALITY

the distortion is quite slobbery is GRAS
Personal I play with KORN and is ideal in my randall rg50tc
for me it's the sound kornein

polivalente little shame ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year
I love his cot KORNein
but shame for versatility
report quality price is normal I say vai

yes I do it again this choice to play the KORN
