From Our Research Team:There's a reason they called it the 'Mega Distortion' pedal. . .Every guitarist we've seen come in contact with the MD-2 has been blown away. Some go so far as to say it's BOSS' best distortion pedal ever. We know that's a bold statement, but just wait until you hear it! It delivers distortion so nasty, gnarly, and just plain vicious that it'll leave permanent psychological scars.Click for Video & Audio Demos:

• Gain boost circuit creates huge distortion and sustain regardless of level • New bottom control for bottom-heavy distortion matched to 7 string guitars • Tonal control adjusts balance between haigh and low frequencies

by Dave from Boscawen, NH
Let me start off by saying this is a great pedal - I use this through the clean ch of a Marshall JCM900 with 6L6 Power tubes - Mahogany Guitar with Dimarzio Fred Pickups. The MD2 in my opinion sounds ... read more [+]a lot like a DS1 - The MD2 is very clear and open with flatter mids than a SD1 or TS9 - If you set the Distortion to 40/50% and turn the Gain Boost off it's very dynamic. If you set the Distortion to 60% and the Gain Boost to 50% you can get a great Classic Metal type of sound + The High/Low EQ really helps to shape the overall tone - I really like this pedal - I found it to be very musical, especially when used with a Boss CE-5 and DD-3. I found it sounds best through the clean CH of a tube amplifier. In my opinion this is one of the better sounding Boss Distortion pedals. You would be surprised at how good a lot of pedals sound with the right EQ setting and the Gain backed off - Lower gain settings are more dynamic. So... Check it out - Give it a try - who knows you might Like it!! close [-]

by kennyramjam from Kalamazoo, MI, USA
I used to own a DS-1 distortion pedal. Too harsh and too much bass. I ownJune 2, 2009 Music Background: electric guitar a Boss overdrive. Too smooth and too much midrange. How does one solve this? An MD-2, that's how! The distortio... read more [+]n control reminds me of the DS-1, and I would never use it alone. The gain control reminds me of the Boss overdrive, and, by itself, just wouldn't do. But combined.....that's a whole different story. Using these two controls together, at modest levels, allows one to really tweak the best of bite and smoothness. And having a separate bass control allows trimming out just the right amount of bass to prevent boom. A very flexible pedal, once it's tweaked a little. Negative reviews say there's too much compression......not true if the distortion and gain controls are adjusted quite low. Just get to know it, and discover how good it can be. A quiet, durable, useful pedal offering wide flexibility. I am happy that I bought mine, and I use it often. close [-] Not bad..

This pedal is not that great. Kick it on and prepare for heaps of compression. Loss of dynamics at an incredible price!

I would go for something like a big muff, a rat, or some other pedal that isn't this one. close [-]
