"Great Petal That Gives You Any Sound You Want"

Feature:
The features are great. It has a distortion knob, plus an extra gain boost. if u crank the tone and bottom knobs to the right, you get plenty of low end. if it would have came w/ a power adapter, it would have gotten a 10. it does eat through 9V batteries fairly good. however this is one minor thing and does very little to take away from the overall quality of the petal.

Quality:
Look at the brand. Its a Boss. They're made to last. Feels like a brick. Maybe even better. It also comes w/ a 5 year warranty.

Value:
I would have liked it cheaper. But wouldn't we all. Its not bad at all for the versitality it gives you.

Desirability:
Uh. Petals don't have much sex appeal. But i do like the color and font :). Its a classic looking boss. Chicks dig it! haha.

Sound:
This petal provides all the distortion you will ever need. I was debating between this petal, the md2, and boss's mt2 metal master. I decided to go with this petal and im glad i made this choice. however, i bet that both petals sound amazing.

Support:
Haven't had to deal w/ boss. However ive heard that they are good.

Overall:
I love this petal. If ur looking at any other petal, stop. Get this petal, u won't b disappointed.

"This is the definition of Versatility"

Feature:
The features are just the pedal and its entirety. This thing does almost anything. You won't get as much dynamics from it as opposed to a nice overdrive pedal but for lead work this thing kicks serious butt. I'm going to back it up with a DS-1 for rhythm and with the two channel Behringer FBQ1502, I will be able to get every sound under the sun.

Quality:
I'm sure the components could be upgraded because these are made in Asia and all that junk. I think with some equalization you won't have to worry about that.

Value:
For one of the cheapest Boss pedals, this is incredible. If it dropped to $50 I'd be a little more happy but paying $70 for a pedal that'll cure any disease is worth it.

Desirability:
It's pretty sexy. I wanted this thing badly because my lead guitarist at the time had a MT-2 so I wanted to combat it with this thing. I'm surprised people go for the MT-2 so much more than this thing. Of the few Boss pedals I have tried, I think this one really shines out.

Sound:
As other reviewers have said, this thing is amazingly versatile. Highly underrated, it'll churn out anything from a sick raspy rhythm sound to a screeching super sustained solo sound to a nasty bottom for drop D to fuzz (if you turn the high and low down and the distortion and gain boost up; it's just killer).

Ease of Use:
It's a pedal. You click it on and off. It didn't take me long to start messing with the knobs but only recently have I really fallen in love with this thing.

Support:
I don't know what it's like but this thing is so solid they could have monkeys manning the phones and I don't think anyone would be the wiser.

Overall:
My new solid state live show set up is based wholly around this thing. An FM65 pumping out these tones will suffice in a lot of places and I can really live with myself for switching to solid state because of this box.
