It is a distortion, and everything has been said about the character.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is simple in theory but in real case is squarely face.
Editing sounds is super simple.
The manual I do not know.

SOUND QUALITY

Okay so the big piece, notice the sound.

Puree the MT2, broad question is not obvious.

Good already strong points:
Gain control allows range from crunchouille delivered at a distal overgrown, inaccurate and without personality, without any dynamics. Between both the range and wide.
The equalizer came after the cell distortion can cut the sound drastically and efficiently, without prejudice to the action of the amp's preamp downstream.
The interesting aspect of the proposed adjustment of mediums is that with two guitarists can fiddle with the sound to share the mid frequencies, without stepping on each other. brief fit into the mix. The sound alone is disgusting, nobody would play with him alone with his settings, but
at least two guitar sounds are well separated.

Defects:
The filter is located before the distortion gives a rather special grain that makes the sound a bit tinny with a pronounced hump in the treble. Loved the grain remains rather the same (a little rocky stuff) adapted to a large metal saturation, but not super suited with a minimum gain settings.
The EQ is very effective, downside it is very easy to oobtenir frankly rotten sound by changing the equalizer. The button p____n mediums is much too sensitive, it must be fiddling with micropoil, it really makes no difference.

Room on an amp at low volumes, we lower the mids a bit, it grows low to the big palm mute and treble is added, it candidly flattering.
Set in this manner is atrocious group, group it more bluntly galley to use the big bass are eaten by bass, or returning it in competition, if you cut the mids they are still more that a heinous shit that spin treble filthy ears., so he must review all equalization, but difficult to get away with something honorable.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had six years is not the best pedal in the world, it's clear now I think the difficulty to adjust, earned him a reputation that is not justified execrable.

Already it is not versatile, but it's not a fault either, I would advise against buying this pedal first. A beast DS1 or SD1 after the amp is much more interesting. But gos rock stain, it does pretty well.

It is true that some adjustment has a small synthetic side and I understand people who are nasal, but with a soldering iron can improve things on that side.
Otherwise the sound is cold according to some, is not even funny I see how a metal distortion could have a warm sound, it seems paradoxical to me.
It may not be accurate, but good gain setting can also rotate counterclockwise, which contributes much to gain in precision.

Obviously with this level of distortion, it hums very easily be double and have to get away from noise sources (eg the receiver).

To finish at 100 euros, it's not interesting, now seen secondhand current document is a good little pedal for someone looking for a big distortion, occasional. I doubt that lme for fans of pure metal and hard, there meixu but I doubt whether at 40 euros. In any case if mine makes a soul I redeemed.

Edit: Okay I just décourvrir the Ibanez SM7 on the same segment of the SM7, less twangy, more dynamic and incorporates a noise gate is minimalist and less sweet deal breaks. In short I found that it bursts through the MT2, you see, but try both I think is important before buying.
