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.
