The TT is a good example. There’s a few reasons the Classic isn’t right for what you want, too little gain is probably most of them while the Mayhem is too whatever the Mayhem is meant to be. Fuzzy, sputtery, brittle? It would probably be amazing for doom metal bands.Originally posted by Bad City

Well, I got my MD-2 in yesterday and so far, I really like it. It's like a beefier DS-1 with more chug. The 2-stage distortion/gain boost thing is pretty interesting. I don't think I've ever seen that on a pedal before. Boss has some clever people for sure.
I tried running it into an IR loader to see if it does the preamp thing, but it does not. Not nearly enough output for that. I had to a put a separate preamp in between to get it to sound right. I tried running the MD-2 into a JHS Clover preamp, then into the IR loader, and it sounded great that way.
Overall, a fine addition to my collection.

Almost put it on the original list. I do love 5150 tones...I guess I consider a preamp model in a box.
