BOSS MEGA DISTORTION MD-2

THIS PEDAL IS TOTALLY AWESOME FOR DROP TUNINGS. IT IS THE EASIEST WAY TO GET ALOT OF TONE AND BONE CRUNCHING DISTORTION. I USE IT IN MY SETUP WITH A CHORUS AND FLANGE. THIS PEDAL DOES GREAT VAN HALEN WORK. I WOULD STRONGLY ADVISE GETTING THIS PEDAL FOR ANY TYPE OF MUSIC. ITS JUST SO VERSITILE.

Classic Rock - Hard Rock - Metal

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 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!!

The MD-2 Mega Distortion offers Mega Flexibility

I used to own a DS-1 distortion pedal. Too harsh and too much bass. I own
a Boss overdrive. Too smooth and too much midrange. How does one solve
this? An MD-2, that's how! The distortion 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.

Not bad..

purchased this pedal about one year ago and so far I have not experienced much that I don't like with it.
SOmtime i get to much feedback so i am gonna have to buy Boss NS-2. but buy an ac adatper.
i cant play any Sum 41 or Korn but it's good for metallica or some rock

Something more

This pedal is not that great. Kick it on and prepare for heaps of compression. Loss of dynamics at an incredible price! If you like it to sound like your guitar tone is missing something, this pedal is the one for you! All around, it's a bit fake sounding. I would go for something like a big muff, a rat, or some other pedal that isn't this one.
