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

UTILIZATION

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

SOUND QUALITY

- I like it
- Jackson DK2 and POD 2.0

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

Then the focus must love the sound of this pedal
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

Pedal Disto well calibrated, the format of Boss is one of the best ever: unbreakable, stylish and very practical.
DIST knob: controls the level of distortion from a crunch to a DS2
GAIN BOOST knob: inflames the pedal by overloading gradually gain!

And this is the MD2!

UTILIZATION

Plug, Plug

Switch, Switch

On / Off, On / Off!

Shaft!

SOUND QUALITY

Personally I do not use it to play chords, but to do solos ... and here it excels! so it is easy to sustain the gain can become delusional!

In addition it can do everything:
A Crunch (with both very low earnings)
An Overdrive (with the gain boost)
The DS1 (boost bottom, zero gain boost)
The DS2 (with a little more distortion ...)
The MD2 (try to do everything thoroughly, but watch out for serious!)

Trebble with the command I get zero for example his solo John Frusciante (of RedHot)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since the day it came out and when I rushed over! (Big fan of Nirvana that I am, I jumped on this new DS2!)

Ideal Agreements (without too much nor too Boost Bass)
In excellent solos (although there you can do everything!)

In short I bought 105 euros at the time (o_O ') and I tended to go too far at first. With practice it becomes essential, especially when you realize all that it can reach ... and suddenly I'm delighted! especially since it is of OCCAZ now! Because the price is a little nine CHERO

Bon ben mega distortion eh! From home boss!
I will not rpter! 1 between scratching out an amp and an adapter between
Nothing to say over the

UTILIZATION

Hyper Single

4 knobs (5 actually): volume, treble / bass, distortion (geule lol) and boost (presence)

euu I had a bad hand (jai was that of mt2) but hey I am not complaining it's too simple lol this little gizmo

lean and sooooooonne
at the same time is that eh PDAL

SOUND QUALITY

I found a loud trs, trs screaming.

I use it for solos so obviously it suits me well, but he drools and breath. That's why I use it for solos! (Means nothing derrire: D) By not careful against the solos to the guns! it has a small cot mtallique makes trs solos rock / heavy so for me it's OP! I put 10

on the other hand for rhythm is blah I prefer to pay me for a DS2 rhythm (because of the flash)
So for me it is REALLY 6-7.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using me I'm a pretty happy

I prss to buy other pedals from Boss! (As an od / distortion and chorus type ds2 CE1 trs that looks good)

the ratio q / price is good but for me it's a big pedals for solos
trs not romantic eh! I test all distos boss at the store and that is the one that had more in the guts! so it's why I chose (I repeat: for soloooos: D)

The pros: powerful trs, trs can be noisy (good for me is obviously a more> soloos: p)
The -: a little expensive adapter, breath Submitted
------------

EDIT: Okay ba I'll sell my pedals at a price of 65, I'm in Paris. Why I sold it? Ben is an axis pedals rather neo / heavy you get the idea. Me she did not much will I make rock rock =)

All are said CHARACTERISTICS scribed RPTES ... and I will not spread the top!
It's a BOSS pedals, brand trsrput transistor distortion with a particular processor that gives it its personal touch from the MT-2.
CHARACTERISTICS J'adhre fully with these pedals Boss! Robustness, autonomy, quality is more proof durability.

UTILIZATION

You rflchis the sound you want, t'appuis button, the pedals (CLAC). You knobs to test your modules and once you're above, you rgales! Little doc comes with plans that are rglages NICKELS!

SOUND QUALITY

The PDAL has the particularity to get the frquences trs serious, which suits me well because I have a micro EMG 81 is rather cold and in need of a hot disto .. . which makes me a wedding sublime and powerful
on the other hand, if you tend to push the "gain boost" a breath a little, but nothing mchant, like all distos Boss.

OVERALL OPINION

I love the pedals, I think even the most "metal zone 2". It has a p. .. I would say its sandy, gravelly, but not sandy, a powerful distortion, constant trs equilibrated on frequencies. Contrairerement some other opinions donns same here, I do not sell it to buy something else. In addition I had the chance to buy new trs CHRE not the United States.
We can Chopper distos all styles, from blues to grunge rock to deathmetal. For his death one, I drop the 0 medium, and I go up the treble to 3 / 4, very severe, and it is a real killing on my HP Bandit 112 Sheffield.

Oh Bah, go to the website yaka ddi eh!

UTILIZATION

But simplicity of a!
I play a lot of bosses: HF-2, MD-2, RC20 XL, RT-20 ... (Gently, p is given p'tites these critters!)

Nan is the expertise and efficient solid boss = quality.

SOUND QUALITY

In recent months, I inflames me for this purpose.

OVERALL OPINION

Moreau in Music, I tried the crunchy distortion. Sorry to tell you that I found very dull. Why in the snapped his round when there is a saturated or channels on the amp? People disagree, get ammunition for the argument!

The guys from under you well numr use the multitude of knobs:
let's experiment!
I will try to be more convincing.

In fact, I Whereas the pedals in its sound reproduction as close (trs) of the fuzz that ds is adjusted TONE BOTTOM.
- A face in the cages honey
- That the nasal possible (if so when you're enrhub nostrils and you speak,
- This TRS sustain (Erik Larsen Couton we carefully)

In the end, knobs donf in this config., Only the solid rhyme something.
Or, you succd SRV because the Camlon Whereas you like the small-spiritual son of Mr. JIMI). So yes, this fawn ProCD, engage the pedals inluctablement leads to feedback. How? What you ditassiez? Able to hear? Hello? yad'lamerd'dansl'tuiau! Migraineurs do not love a great set of this caliber!

on the other hand, in this rduisant ostensibly concerned with the knob can speak up, there remains a texture a bit dsagrable. Let's dirty like a freight train Cehef Hassan.
To remdier, in my case, j'enclenche channels LEAD MODE + 2 of my Hugghes & Kettner ATTAX 100. This smooths the signal cradingue base, especially by playing on qualisation amp!

Finally, I prtendu the DS-1 distortion useless rebaptisons disassemble the-sausage-1.
Just play 'ith the beautiful knobs and the amp to find cruncy bluesy Soundy.

Friends Saturday night, goodbye.

Bon ben like the other is nothing to say is what a boss pedal, very robust and high quality

UTILIZATION

Yes the config is simple, the sound is very quickly resolved, no need for manual, the location for the battery is not bad (better than behringer koi lol) only problem, it consumes battery bcp lol masi not a good c default, since it gives the sound

SOUND QUALITY

C the good that it starts at the store, I tested one of 20aine pedals, wsl, other boss, the digitech, the behringer, testing the most hard for each brand because I like her a powerful the treble to a metalcore trivium and the bcp low for its 7-string korn my ac ... I liked ben no, but then no pedal, none were powerful enough by far, except the little orange box, the MD-2, but then at the first sound I made, I was impressed worse, I had almost no disto lol I put exactly the same sound korn, but then exactly, and palm mutes ... A treat for me this pedal is a blessing, the only c could please me lol

if I found it never saturated, I tjs useful ac gain boost and a bottom floor and a distortion bass and treble at 3 / 4, c ca not move impressive

OVERALL OPINION

It must be 6 months I use the feature of this pedal, well its his c ... the only one that I liked, I clear the c to the price, but hey boss c renowned for its quality, and we must pay the price for this pedal, because I could not buy from other so the sound was not enough

I would do a thousand times this choice

Um ben c koi soft

UTILIZATION

You just have to serve ten sound of an old neo ptit Metall ie the lack fade
If you are seeing some grain and edge thee forced to fuck the dist tone and not sound otherwise it afond
if you do seeing that metal sone big sound ::::: FORGOTTEN pedals are shipped overnight sounding 10 times better: mt-2, Digitech, DOD 69 grunge fx

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is pretty decent even if a single micro coil only ca soufflr not much for a tip: if you want a little more rglages put an equalizer just after the loop

OVERALL OPINION

I "utilisquot; for 2 years and am very unhappy with jen it's hard to draw anything other than his neo very soft with a grain palm mute very" particular "
not a must at all

Boss MD-2 Megadistortion:

-In the Good Fat Distortion that once well rgl can also Overdrive
Technology-Analog
Power-==> Area or 9V battery
-5 Knobs ==> Level ==> volume ba ^ ^
==> Tone / / Bottom ==> qualisation for bass and treble
==> Distortion ==> First Gain
==> Gain Boost ==> Deuxime Gain
(Both as individual grains typs to customize its sound)

As any self-respecting Boss pedals, a solid copy
Perfect for 7 string (roughly from KoRn ^ ^)

For more information, there's the site!

UTILIZATION

-The configuration is fairly simple gnrale
You turn the knobs, it RULES Well, it is pressed and go to the butcher!
Of course, to find the appropriate sound takes a little searching, do not bother to say that this is crap pedals or other ^ ^ (just the good rgler)
-The manual ... from beginners to see in the DIFFERENT ways, not need.
In self-same rglant s'aperoit on the potential and the power of bte!

SOUND QUALITY

Ah! It goes something srieuse!
-So, to say nothing of the distortion it sends the pedals is not for the small sound is clear.
Size-plutt for Hard-Rock and NoMtal it is also the most classic mtal (Heavy type).
on the other hand, standards are low, although as acute rgl ^ ^
I use a Storm PR250BK (I know it's Mr. ...!! but hey it Chres guitars) and a Micro-Cube and the sound is of the same good .
In RPET I use on my Storm and a Marshall and the gear hints at a new facet of his personality is much more than an amp apprciable less powerful and with less qualisation.
-I prfre clear sound Overdrive pedals on this even if the sound is big distortion potable.La keeping agreements is really good and even with the grain if the MD-CHARACTERISTICS 2 palm mute the sound good and powerchords.
But parts of the frenzied solos MT-2 is better.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 2 months
-The particular feature is its seed is indniable
Love or not love you basically ^ ^
Yes I have tried many other distortion pedals and finally I chose the MD-2.
Even if I try again from the MT-2 prior to the APRS ressay have a few months after it rvl more suited my style of play
-Like all the rest CHRE pedals, but with the quality Boss we can say that the price will be its drawback life ^ ^
-With the exprience, I would do this choice because the grain is very special and that's its charm, for cons I regret not having the MT-2 price first because its the best for me.

Saturation pedal or overdrive (with the "dist" low and adjusting the "gain boost")

specific low frequencies.

Adapter sold separately: /

UTILIZATION

Very simple configuration, the strength BOSS appointment (knob, metal housing ...)

four with a double = knob five in all

LEVEL (output volume)
TONE (a tone that directs the sound to the mids treble or bass, what a tone ...)
BOTTOM (knob hidden under the "tone", the bass boost FRANKLY)
DIST (distortion increases in amounts starting from a huge crunch distortion very generous to a mad but clean!)
GAIN BOOST (a kind of powerful overdrive, which compresses the sound a bit, also increases sustain and therefore encourages feedback, without it becoming disabling)

Very pure and easily adjustable, versatile enough perspective and range of sounds in terms of saturation regloage)

SOUND QUALITY

Always very clean, very versatile, generous to the crunch of distortion powerful, with a setting very efficient frequency.

Little to the Blues (for troubleshooting) to metal (for troubleshooting). Indeed, the saturation at least not warm grain type tube amp, and the metal, it can do but in this case a panel of metals restrain sounds, and not in excess.

But all the saturations are possible outside of these two extremes. Ideal for soloists and rhythm for the Hard Rock.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 months. it has served me well.

It may may be to prefer another model for the metal, do not play I can not tell you conceiller. It is for cons for sure, he preferred another model for the Blues, who will found the hard rock sounds of the MD-2.

I will try to trade him, probably telling his counterpart BOSS (for I have no complaints about its design and durability, or its value, if you find it less than € 85 is any benefit) more focused overdrive-type distortion blues-hard rock to me better match.

It is ideal to play with low frequency, or type 7cordes Baritone, even if it stays nice and versatile 6-string guitar for a "normal".

[edit] In fact it is especially convenient to add a channel Disto an amp that would be free. I plugged into my Hot Rod, suddenly it sounds like an immitation correct, it's cheaper than buying a mesa-boogie. From this perspective, value for money impec for more expensive it is probably more accurate to have the pedals in the registry distortion / metal. Ideal for playing Satriani.

Buy new because of j'tais in qute rconciliation OVEC my childhood friend ... boss

Must say boss is not in the luxury not true bypass, no grain vintage.
Tjs boss in these bees are everywhere.

But this made me relive PDAL motions that only HM 2 Japan made me feel ..

UTILIZATION

Config super hyper ... variable!
It's going to sound classic Tubescreamer 9, at nag grunge / metal

SOUND QUALITY

A rarity among the bebtes Taiwanese or Chinese, who tend to use amp-ops rotten ..
SOUND finally sound: Sustain, dynamic, and musical intlligent Eq trs
