MD1 Metal Distortion

I have a LOT of Guitars and amps available. The MD-1 works well with them all... One of it's strong points is that you can cut the controls back and use it to "Flavor" an amps natural tone and distortion characteristics... It's got PLENTY of Boost available so weak pickups (strats) aren't really a problem, just add a touch of volume, likewise you can cut the signal strength back if you have high gain shredder type humbuckers and keep things under control. It seems VERY low noise to me, even with the gain cranked it doesn't get "Hissy" like so many boxs do. Chords are well voiced and overtones are distinctive. It's got a ton of balls and plenty of edge for STRONG lead playing, very articulate and punchy with LOTS of finger sensitivity. I hooked this up with a Boss GP-20 "Amp Factory" and in conjuction with the various amp and cabinet models I could duplicate ANY sound, some took a little more tweaking than others, but I think with the right amp in front of it, this box will do any METAL sound you can imagine. It's -NOT- going to give you Blues or Crunch, it's not intended to.

Built like a TANK, I would not forsee any problems.

Very Easy to use, completely intuitive. Gain, Shape (+/- midrange filter) and Volume knobs. Controls are sensitive and effective. It doesn't get any simpler than this!

No experience or info ???

I play all kinds of Music, Alt Country - Thrash Metal. The MD-1 opened a LOT of doors into METAL for me that other gear never came close to. (I've tried most of the popular ones). I've got the chops and the ear, NOW I've got the SOUND! If you WANT METAL this will get you THERE (not just halfway). As long as I'm playing metal music there will be one of these in my lineup. I've used an old Pro Co "RAT" for years for hard core distortion and I'll continue to use it for the Hard ROckin stuff it does so well... But it's been retired from the -METAL MUSIC- lineup.
