Record Details

Released:
2005
Genre:
Distortion

A BOSS Met­al Zone rep­lica, I’d say. Same adjust­ment pos­sib­il­it­ies, dis­trib­uted over 6 con­trols instead of two. In addi­tion to bass and treble con­trols, there is a mid con­trol with adjustable fre­quency range.
I com­pared it with the BOSS Hyper Met­al HM‑3: It dis­torts alright, but the BOSS ped­al still man­ages to SING at the same time. You can­’t keep up with that as a budget stompbox.

Anoth­er things that’s slightly irrit­at­ing, at least when com­par­ing it to the ori­gin­al: Level and dis­tor­tion con­trols are arranged the oth­er way round. A sign of independence?

And I have anoth­er point of cri­ti­cism: the col­our. It’s not good.
And that is not good. Because as JHS’s Josh Scott rightly says:
If you like the col­our it’s gonna make you play better.
