Some distortion pedals are wussy. We"re not judging them, we"re just saying. And if you"re sick of distortion pedals that fink out just before they really get mean and biting... the BOSS ML-2 deserves a place on your pedalboard. Dubbed the "Metal Core", the ML-2 is the heaviest of BOSS distortions with a nice sharp-edged attack for your crushing metal riffs. You"ll love this one for all kinds of industrial, hard core, nu metal, grind core... all sorts of music. What"s sweet is there"s a LOW control that can get you a really heavy, low-frequency sound (think 7-string or dropped tuning style), and you can dial in that HIGH control to get a screaming, more metallic tone.
