General

Thanks to its extreme gain, the ML-2 Metal Core is Boss's most powerful, heavy distortion pedal. It really helps you nail those nu metal, grindcore, industrial and hardcore lows.

Sound characteristics of the Metal Core

The ML-2's sharp tones go quite well with heavy rhythms, but have no problem cutting through the mix. With the pedal's Low knob, you can easily adjust the low tones of seven-string guitars and drop tunings. The High knob, meanwhile, controls the high, sharp metal tones.

Dit Boss pedaal geeft je een wauw bij de eerste keer dat je hem op zijn staart trapt! (Ook bij de tweede, derde, vierde, ...)

Echter moet er wel gezegd worden dat je dit pedaal, net als andere distortion pedalen, je combinatie van versterker en pedaal heel veel verschil maakt. Ik gebruik een simpele versterker van Orange en het geluid wat je kan produceren met de Boss Metal Core ML-2 is oorverdovend lekker, zwaar en warm, zelfs de hoge tonen worden behouden ondanks dat het geluid zo heftig is.

De ML-2 heeft een prachtig zwarte metallic kleur en steelt de show op je pedalboard! Levering van Bax was super!
