Distortion pedal, level adjustment, bottom, tone, and gain boost.
nothing fancy.

UTILIZATION

Use could not be more simple, I agree, it works ....
High sensitivity, wide range of possible sound.

SOUND QUALITY

Pedal dedicated to his big, hard or heavy, but not too big metal riffs in fact more for solos.
Depending on the setting you get a great blues sound with more gain overdrive.
With the gain in depth and appropriate settings gives the sound of heavy 80's.
I is not found a good setting for his death or trash, it's actually not the purpose of the pedal.

The hardcore metalheads prefer the MT2, the more dark.

I think this pedal is mainly for soloists, indeed with the boost, among other things thoroughly, we get a sound sick, very powerful, very rich and high quality microphones will gush of harmonic and a feedback loop to the will with incredible sustain. While remaining pleasant to hear, like the sound is aggressive but takes guts to summarize.

I use a lag roxanne mahogany with micro seymour duncan SH15 Alternative 8 in bridge and a hot rail in the heats.
I currently use a peavey bandit, a good amp 100w midrange transistor.
The SH15 uses an Alnico 8, with lots of gain. Well, the MD2 sends the puree with the gain 3 / 4 and boost the bottom is a killer.
Very nice sound in the neck position, endless sustain.

Verdict on the sound quality: its very aggressive if gain and boost bottom, not too mushy on the bass playing a bit cold though. But really unbelievable for a solo sound heavy.

OVERALL OPINION

Very good effects pedal, robust and quality. Simple to use, just not be easy to find the right settings but the game ..

Its side, it does, a little cold and it's still on it sounds "digital", especially without amp lamp.
I think this pedal gives best with alnico humbucker type rather than ceramic because its too cold.
Not to play the big trash and other extreme styles, but rather for powerful riffs and solos especially, there is the feast.

I give a 8 to overall because I'm still a little bit about my hunger with my amp more md2 bandit. No doubt if I still had my marshall jcm it would be different!

But it's worth it anyway !!!!!
