«  More balanced than the Mk1 (so a little less violent too) »

Published on 11/27/13 at 01:04
Best value: Excellent
Already detailed in my opinion on the Mk1, and in other reviews, do not bother to add (Nescafé? ..).
Important point I will make below some comparative with the numero uno: when I will detail the differences between the first two models of this pedal is of course proportionately (eg when I say "the means + serious "it will not be on a scale of 1 to 100, 100 and 50 for one another, but rather 95 for one and 85-90 for the other).

UTILIZATION

Extremely simple configuration. I do not have manual for purchased used.
Changes in the increase or decrease of the knobs is linear, no sudden increase in volume, tone or other. The gain, however, in his Derner quarter, not changing very much (but not need any more in view of what we can already get there).

Note that compared to the Mk1 version, we can get an even lighter od (gain knob to zero), the gain gradually evolves +, and goes a little less far than his big sister.

SOUND QUALITY

Effective effect, whether light or OD OD further. Used on guitars.
I prefer to use a slightly OD, and sometimes boost my amp saturation.
Note that there is a slight difference in level between the HP and LP sound (without touching the knobs, you will very + HP, with more bass and midrange hair +)
Gain pushed to block the sound from slightly to a fuzzy sound. In any case, good headroom available, you can go pretty far (without going not in the mega sustain or metal but it is sending).
Finally be aware that this pedal is extremely reactive to the type of game (light, violent, pedal adjusts the sound output ... As a real amp pushed).

Again, it must be differentiated with respect to the Mk1. This Mk2 is less "booster" serious and high frequencies (this is especially evident on bass) and will bring out slightly more than her big sister, mediums. It will therefore appear + "balanced", and upon reflection, I often read on forums that people are looking for OD respecting the natural sound of the whole guitar - amp ...
Indeed, the Mk1 is flattering to the ear but because I want a + a second channel "amp" light OD, I think I'll go on the Model 2, which seems to me more équilbrée is the word.

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 1 year and a half, alternating with the Mk1 model. Hard to choose!
In short, everything depends on the use to which it wishes to do (for the person who hesitates between the two versions I'm talking about here): + for his violent, I would favor the Mk1.
I've used and tested a lot of models so ...
I like his size, the possibility of supplying 9 or 18v, its simplicity and speed control, responsiveness to the game, the range of sounds that can be delivered ...
My only question now is to decide between the Mk1 and Mk2.
I thought the indéboulonnable Mk1, well maybe not :)
I remake that choice without hesitation of course!
In view of the different possibilities of using the pedal, value for money is excellent, yes!
