Feature:
i jumped on the free Ac adapter offer!!!

Quality:
It seems tough. time will tell.

Value:
Definitely worth the price in its range.

Desirability:
could be bigger.. haha but its sexy.

Sound:
BY far the best overall sound for METALHEADS. after some careful decision making between this and 2 other pedals (one by line 6 and other by Digitech) i am more than happy with the sound. I use this with a stock LTD f50 and a crate GTX212 120 watt and the range of sound is incredible. Metal to black metal and death metal and everything in between!

Ease of Use:
EASY EASY EASY is all i have to say. after playing around with teh settings, i found my favorite sound in just a few minutes

Feature:
This pedal does not have alot of features.It has a high,low,level and distortion adjustment.But its tuned for a heavy low mid crunchy sound.If you turn down the distortion and turn up the high then you will get a more midrange 80s metal lead sound.I like the highs down and lows up for a thick badass modern metal tone.Even if your guitar has cheap stock pickups,this thing will make um sound great.So go out and get a job and go buy this pedal.lol.

Sound:
I use a Washburnx37 seven string guitar with seymore duncan JB pickups and a Washburn 7 string with Dimarzio X2N pickups in the bridge.I drop way down to A and G tunings.With thick .70 strings.I use an old Ibanez Toneblaster 100 watt head for the clean channel and a presonus mic tube preamp to make the signal louder.With an Ibanez toneblaster 4x12 cab.Anyways This new boss metalcore pedal is crunchy and powerful at the same time without being muddy or tinny.I like it alot better than the deathmetal pedal and the Metalzone.It also will make your sound more punchy.My band plays heavy,fast death and blackmetal and this pedal makes my sound cut through the mix with ease.I say to anyone with a cheap amp with crappy distortion to buy this pedal and run it into your clean channel for an awesome distortion tone.I would also buy a cheap 50.00$ tube preamp like a behringer or art ,just to boost your guitar signal before it hits the amp.Makes it twice as loud!

Ease of Use:
easy

Support:
Never had to contact Boss.

Feature:
4 knobs is all it needs. You got the low adjusts and everything.

Quality:
Looks great, black metal look, very sleek finish.

Value:
Pretty cheap, for a edal of its sound. I'd buy it anyday.

Desirability:
Although I'm not sexually interested in pedals, I have to say, this pedal looks like a beast.

Sound:
This pedal is an amazing high gain pedal that delivers that earth shuttering ferocious distortion that us metal heads have been looking for. It is most compatible with nu metal, death metal, metalcore, most types of metal. It just sounds amazing, I run it through a Peavey 6505 plus head. All I have to say is oh my god. Its really sharp and has lows that will shake the ground and knock down paintings. Hell ya!

Ease of Use:
Its a pedal.

Support:
Haven't need to use it, I'll put 10 as a default.

Quality:
I could literally toss this pedal off my two story house and it would probably only get louder! It's a BOSS what more can I say?

Value:
The Metal Core should be priced a lot more than it is. I bought mine new for $99.99 and that's a steal.

Sound:
This pedal sounds SICK!!! It sounds like a wall of high gain amps yet it comes in such a small easy to use package. I play everything from Classic Rock to Death Metal and this pedal dose it all easily.

Ease of Use:
This pedal is so easy to use. It has only 4 knobs: volume, low, high, and gain. You can easily dial in sounds. A child could find Metallica's tone in less than 15 seconds!

Overall:
I will never neet an other pedal again for metal.

Feature:
Just your simple level,low, high and distortion knobs. The sparkles all over the pedal make it look outstanding!

Quality:
This pedal was made with incredible craftsmanship. It will easily last 10 years.

Value:
Great pedal for a great price. I would gladly pay more then the retailed price.

Sound:
The sound is AMAZING!! It's more distortion then you'll probably ever need. I would recommend this pedal to anyone that plays rock, thrash or metal etc. I've found the sound I craved for.

Ease of Use:
Simple to operate. Manual is also very clear about it.

Overall:
This pedal is a must have. Looks and plays great. Buy it NOW!

Feature:
I have no complaints what so ever, Really I'm happy that they didnt produce it in Digital, I prefer the classic analog.. Though I kinda wish It had memory settings of a Digital, Cause I find a good setting.. and I forget exactly what it was when I try to go back to it.

Quality:
Well, It comes with a five year warranty from Boss, I've literally abused it.. stomped into it during a good fun riff, I've accidently kicked it in the middle of the night, forgetting I left it in the floor, even when I put a new battery in it today, It slipped out of my hand and I dropped it.. didnt affect it even in the least bit. It's awesome!

Value:
Im really happy with it, It's worth whatever price tags anyone puts on em , probably even more.

Desirability:
I love the way it looks, an original design.. I love the black and silver-flake paint scheme, looks great and adds a certain finesse to my three-tone sunburst Fender Strat and my jet-black with silver-screening Fender amps..

Sound:
Myself,I play a Fender 60's Classic Strat, I've tried alot of Boss' Pedals, Each one gives at lest some unique sound of it's own, But as far as the ML-2 Metal Core goes, I commonly dial In low in the pedal and low in the amp to get that really deep sound.. It doesnt fuzz out, It's a nice smooth tone, It even does beautiful work with my Fender Frontman 15B amp.. to anyone who wants an Industrial or Hardcore metal sound.. Its A MUST!!

Ease of Use:
It's almost too easy!

Overall:
Only way I'll look for another distortion pedal, if Boss builts another ML series with added features, or maybe combine It with a reverb pedal?.. Either way I'll always enjoy the ML-2.

Feature:
First let me say I bought this pedal looking for a good Metal Distortion pedal. I play a mixture of Death Metal, Grindcore and Speed Metal and I was looking for a pedal that would compliment my styles. I had heard a lot of great things about this pedal from many people so I went out on a limb and bought it. Unfortunately for me, that limb couldn't hold my weight. Or at least not the weight of my sound demands. I gave it a ten on features because It's got good features. But the sound and texture doesn't change much.

Quality:
It's made well.

Value:
it's hard to decide. It's a fair price for a pedal like it but not for the sound that comes from it. I'd pay more for a crap complementary pedal than this, but thats because I hate the sound. All in all if you like it sure. If you don't then no value sucks.

Desirability:
It's a pedal... It doesn't even sound sexy

Sound:
Well I must say I am disappointed in this pedals sound. Very grainy and sctratchy with lots or high gain. Does not do good lows with drop tuning.

Ease of Use:
Ease of use it pretty straight forward. I mean you'd have to be a complete idiot not to know how to use it. There is one problem though is that you really have to screw with the knobs if you want to lower your gain at all. It really throws off the EQ.

Overall:
I would recommend not getting this pedal if you are a fan of modern heavy metal. If you must then fine, but I would strongly encourage getting the Digitech Metal Master of Boss MT-2 Metal Zone.

Feature:
The best.

Quality:
I can literally through this pedal off my house without it breaking.

Value:
This product is worth twice what I paied for it which was about $110.

Desirability:
All my friends who used it want it.

Sound:
The sound is sick. This pedal can be used for just about any style of rock and metal. From smoth overdrive to insane rediculous distortion this pedal can do it. It is by far the best sounding distortion pedal on the market.

Ease of Use:
Most pedals today have a bunch of anoying knobs that can confuse many players, but BOSS takes away the problemb with 4 simple dials. Volume, Low, High, Distortion.

Overall:
What more is there to say?

Feature:
Just the distortion. But that deserves a ten by itself.

Quality:
Nice metal. It is durable as all Boss products. It's great.

Value:
Its worth it for anyone who plays anything from Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, to Cradle of Flth to Ozzy.

Desirability:
its beatiful. it sparkles and is eye catching.

Sound:
It is great. You can make a nice rythym sound when you scoop out some highs, turn up the lows, and it sounds so good. Vice-Versa for a lead tone. The distortion is great. I wasnt gidding the distortion on my Traynor YCV-40, it has as much distortion as metal core when it is turned up a little. The sound is so great because, it s so distorted but single notes are clear, but stll ferocoious. great sound. It doesnt have that fuzz that just makes you sound like mud.

Ease of Use:
Extremely easy, turn it on and melt some faces.

Support:
the only problem is that the patch cords come out when you accidently step on them. I havent reached them.

Overall:
GET IT!!!!! It kicks ass!!!!!
