I like that you don't talk for 3 minutes between each pedal demo so the sound of the previous pedal is still fresh in my mind. Too many pedal demos have the guy blabbering on about settings, etc.. so by the time you hear the next pedal you forget what the last one sounded like! Cheers! I used to have a Heavy Metal and I loved it!
@@blizzbee I ran with a Metal Zone and Compression / Sustainer on my pedal board for years in a metal band, playing a Strat in humbucking mode ("in-between" selector switch position). It was always a handful, but I got the hang of it and it never got away from me. But the best pedal choice I ever made was the NS-2 Noise Suppressor, which I only got after my eight years of glory with The Uninvited. A handful? Not any more! I still get the same mega-gain meaty distortion and sustain - but it's controlled. I dial in the feedback I want, and the NS-2 never lets it run away.

Thank you for your video. I really enjoyed it. I've always wondered what the differences are and no one can really explain in words. But you just did. Plus all of them together blew my mind. That was awesome. Cheers!
Thanks for the excellent, prompt, demonstration. Distortion all the way up, and the same chords and riffs across the demo. Very helpful. So many other demos are pretty tedious and drawn out by comparison. Thanks again.
That was a really great demo of 6 great Boss pedals. It's amazing how I still like the sound of the DS-1 the best from this video. I guess I'd have to have been in the room listening or I'd have to have them all myself to see which one I thought was best for my liking still. Still GREAT JOB on the demo.
Each pedal has its own distinctive sound for different playing styles. I have them all and I love them. Boss can be the be all end all choice. You just can't go wrong with them. It covers all those great distortion sounds.
Boss is genius at making sonically identical distortion pedals in different enclosures, with slightly different controls, and making people think they hear a big difference between them.
The most important lesson to be learned by this demo! is ....always demo overdrive/dist pedals wide open on the gain! thanks man! i hate demos that start off with the gain at 50% or less etc!
Well heres my take on pedals: any pedal is good through the right amp. Ive tried a cheap behringer ultra distortion through a marshall mg n it sounded great. Ive put a cheap daneelectro fab overdrive in front of my dark terror it sounded great. Dont rely too much on youtube videos for tone quest, what matters most is believing in your own ears and what sounds best to you
Yeah I've seen a lot of videos about my Behringer Distortion X and most of them make it sound like shit, but I've tried it on a Peavey and it makes it sound really killer.
I agree and add, knowing what I know, if I saw some dude's pedalboard with all these distortion/overdrives, I wouldn't blink an eye. They all have a certain quality. None of them suck.
These pedals are what all the boutique pedal makers use for there base sound then they just try to tweak the sounds slightly so they can differentiate themselves and charge a fortune. Just buy Boss you cant go wrong.
I think it would be easier to compare them if you played 1-2 power chords on each pedal for the first cycle and then a short riff on the next cycle. Decreasing the time to go through all the pedals helps one compare the active pedal with previous pedals. Just sayin, but thanks this was an informative clip about something Ive always been curious about.
Nice. I always enjoy your videos. Thanks. (I have a HM2 but I don't use it for metal though. I really like its eq knobs, and really good for sustain especially when stacked.)
@@rtomas47 I run the TU-12, NS-2 and CS-2 through the front of the amp., whereas the modulation effects come out of the jacks on the pedal board ( BCB-60) and go through the FX loop on my JCM4212 combo amp. Also the MT-2, because I don't think you've lived until you've overloaded the power amp.
Never heard some of those before, and I love that you used single coil and humbucker guitars. I really liked the mid-boost of the Turbo Distortion. One question: How does the non-turbo OD on the Turbo Overdrive compare with the SD-1?
Agree on the DS-1. Some people think you must mod one in order to make it better. That might be true, but if you're tweaking your amp in conjunction with the DS-1, you'll get some tight raunchy distortion with clarity.
Mega sounds so close to my ML-2 Metal Core? Thank you for the demo, I bought pedals randomly and loved them DS-1 vintage old distortion, MT-2 Metal Zone modern with some vintage hybrid distortion, ML-2 Chugging kinda modern side sound, I love them all, and BD-2 for smooth distortion a bit of Fuzz type distortion, love them all
I have both. The DS-1 from japan tends to have a fuller , less edgy tone. It can do a nice clean boost too. The "new" taiwanese batch tends to have a high peak on mid-high frecuencies. Not a great difference but the japanese/early taiwanese model seems more warm and fuzzy
The Turbo Distortion (Orange box) seemed to have more realistic overtones, sounded the most dynamic to me, the other seemed too compressed and artificial.
+Michaels Covers dunno tbf, I have a Big Muff (giggedy) and a DS1 pedal, but I've not really met many (if any) guitarists who have the BM pedal and even more who never heard of it! Could be a US vs UK thing though
Yes the DS2 is a classic distortion pedal love the tones you can get out of it from mild overdriven to full blown raw distortion and my Strat pairs with the Ds2 like bread and butter
Great Demo. You have to try the Keeley modded MT-2, it's an animal. He adds a 3 position mode switch, it has 3 huge tones. He adds better quality components to give it a much clearer top end, never harsh. It's my secret weapon for when I need to go to 12.
The metal zone is actually very easy to not be able to get a good tone out of. get an amp with a built in distortion channel and then get an over drive pedal for a boost or for crunch tones on the clean channel.
I would like to see if all the pedals sound the same when the equalizer, tone controls are at middle position. That would be a true test of the distortion. Then at the end you can twiddle the knobs, and show how to shape the sound. I like all the boss distortions. The one that I had was the FB-2 Super Distortion and Feedbacker. My neighbor let someone borrow it and I never saw it again.
I dont understand people that knock these pedals.These pedals are for punk,grunge,hard rock etc etc NOT fucking blues or blues solo's.They are meant to sound how they sound, "undesirable" if you like.That is why Kurt Cobain used one,like alot of player in the 90's hated EVH type lead solo's(i still do)give me noise and mess anyday. Blues players commenting on punk pedals is hilarious. Not everyone wants to hear the 'tonewood' etc etc.t5he idea in the 90's was to destroy that BS and eliminate gear geeks which is now almost the norm unfortunately.
Totally agree! I mostly play blues and I like vintage tuby overdrives but most of the boss and digitech drive pedals are great at what he were build for. Still own my ds-1 and my digital metalizer for occasional trash fun!
I have the TURBO OverDrive and Mega Distortion. Both are great. Mega Distortion has killer thick bottom while I use the TURBO OverDrive for brighter stuff. I think its a good combo.
HI, I really admire your very instructive videos, All yout videos Has helped me a lot to make up my mind in the moment to buy a pedal...!!!! ... Could you give me your opinion??? is there any difference between The DS1 japan MAde and the Taiwan????
Which one is the more natural/realistic sounding of the 6? I need a pedal to put into the low(clean) channel of my Jcm800 because I can't put my delay pedal in front of my high(distortion) channel. So I can put the delay after the distortion (using a distortion pedal before).
The reason of my question was because on ebay exists a difference of price between both... And one last question.. between the RAT with LM308 chip and de Boss DS1 whats is the difference in your opinion, which would you prefer.... and Finally, Could you share the song Brilliant any link where a could download it to put it in my Iphone :) PS: G from Ecuador and sorry for my English
ds1 sound like if being modified.. too much gain for that old one.. and more gain than Ds 2? mmm also hear kind of a compression right after the first note.. you can hear the sound going lower... blondegraemey can you tell?
The first three sounded best to me- warmer and more mid-range. Beginning with the Heavy Metal unit it sounded somewhat scooped in the middle. Perhaps this was a result of the settings on the HM?
The original Japanese DS1 with the Keeley mod is my fave. The newer Taiwan-made Boss pedals just aren't the same. There's a Chinese company called Daphon who do really good knock-offs of the original Japanese chipsets. My guy at Roland swears by them.
the camera mic is the first thing , the second one is that the pedals have different settings , with the same setting on every pedal you could hear it a little bit better but the cam mic ruins it anyway
You seem like a knowledgeable chap when it comes to pedals. Do you think the new (or fairly new) Waza Craft series of Boss pedals is worth the money? My local gear shop says that they are made with the best of the best components.Well, my take on that is that they should have been doing that already! What say you? I have A/B the normal Super Distortion with the Waza Super Distortion and cannot tell much difference, if at all. A money making scam?
Any recommendations or Jan Hammer wannabe distortion keyboard soloists? I was tinkering the Over Drive/Distortion OS-2, or the Power Stack ST-2, before the mandatory Chorus Ensamble CE-5, DD-7 Digital Delay, and RV-6 Reverb. The latter three are no brainer for a dry keyboard like the DX7. But what about the distortion pedal to make the FM synthesizer sound like Jan Hammer guitar-like keyboard solos?
Hi! All I can say about DS1 is: I had a problem with my brand new BOSS DS1, here is: when i play clean tone on my guitar it is ok, but when a turn on ds1 there is a volume drop even if volume pot is on max. So i did a burr brown chip mod, and now is a lot better.
Forget to say.. I have and boss mt2 - SUPER pedal for overdrive, low dist, hi gain dist, super pedal. I tried Boss OD2r super pedal too, turbo mod is great. I recommend these pedal (MT2 and OD2r), but i don't know what to say for DS1.
+The guitar boss Hi... yea` I have an original roland ac adaptor.. I never use battery... a few days ago I bought one more boss ds1 ( used, cheap ) and I 've changed d4 and d5 with 2x1n4001 ... Sounds great . So I discovered in the meantime that the boss ds1 has a problem with guitars that have hi output pickups .
I like that you don't talk for 3 minutes between each pedal demo so the sound of the previous pedal is still fresh in my mind. Too many pedal demos have the guy blabbering on about settings, etc.. so by the time you hear the next pedal you forget what the last one sounded like! Cheers!

I was thinking this exact thing lol
I also like the fact that he played the same riff, it helps with the comparison
Samuel Barrett yeah right.
You have the best Boss distortion
demo on the internet ! Great job !
Lol ... Wut?!
True
The Boss pedal sounds the best.
Agreed
Personally I feel like Boss is better from sound and price perspective, don’t get me wrong Boss is good but I feel Boss is better

one of the best distorsion i ever saw
The most important lesson to be learned by this demo! is ....always demo overdrive/dist pedals wide open on the gain! thanks man! i hate demos that start off with the gain at 50% or less etc!
Sam Patterson yeah whats the point of that? No one browsing big distortions is going to use it on lower settings!
OD-2 is the guitar at the start of the gig and the MT-2 is your guitar by the time you come back for an encore. Great demo.
I think the 'Turbo Overdrive Mega Heavy Metal Distortion Zone' won this shootout. (TOMHMDZ-3)
Damn
Excellent review! It is clear the sound nuances of each pedal. I go with the Turbo Overdrive. Great video.

Your pedals are just awesome man!!
All "drive" all the way up! Thank you, this is how one should play a distortion or overdrive pedal.
Thank you for the review. The DS-2 is my favorite, especially in Turbo II mode. I love those mids.
If this taught me anything, its that you can never have too many Distortion Pedals.
Thanks to the settings displayed on the MT-2, I'm now able to use a pedal that I had since 1995.
I actually think we were all waiting for 8:30 !!! AWESOME
like that you demonstrated playing the same piece with each pedal. Smart.
Very Brian May your playing is in this video. Mainly in the chording do I hear it; it's a compliment believe me.
not to mention playing into an AC30
Ahhh.... Okay you did run all six together - and you survived! Congratulations :-)
Ahhh the Boss HM2 Heavy Metal pedal...my first ever boss pedal back in 1986...

MT-2 Metal Zone distortion
CS-2 Compressor/Sustainer

The metal zone is actually very easy to not be able to get a good tone out of. get an amp with a built in distortion channel and then get an over drive pedal for a boost or for crunch tones on the clean channel.

I think it as my Les Paul.
+blondegraemey You said it was single coil? Did you mod the lespaul?
John d Looks like a strat
The first was a strat the second was a les Paul
what's the name of intro song?

How did this guy actually manage to get a decent sound out of the HM-2?
Try a HM-2 straight into your FX loop.

And one last question.. between the RAT with LM308 chip and de Boss DS1 whats is the difference in your opinion, which would you prefer.... and Finally, Could you share the song Brilliant any link where a could download it to put it in my Iphone :) PS: G from Ecuador and sorry for my English

Well done !
Not sure between the DS-2, HM-2 and MD-2. The MT-2 is ridiculously high gain but I bet thrash metal sounds wicked on it.
Sounds great for thrash and classic death metal tones. I boost it with a Tube Screamer or SD-1 for more gain or solos.
The MT-2...
My Strat trough a DS 2 ooooooh man what a powerful monster combination
My strat with a hotrail and tube amp and boss ds2 is just sexy
Hi, glad you like the videos! I don't think there would be very much difference in tone between the two. G
The first three sounded best to me- warmer and more mid-range. Beginning with the Heavy Metal unit it sounded somewhat scooped in the middle. Perhaps this was a result of the settings on the HM?
You can really hear those pedals come alive with humbucking pickups as opposed to single-coils.
Strats shine really trough DS2 omg
Totally the opposite.Any of these pedals are pretty useless with humbuckers they just have to much output even the weakest ones.
I thought the humbucker was like a blanket was placed over his amp
Why the blues riffs to demo metal pedals?
So... Can we hear the TURBO effect on in the next video ?
The original Japanese DS1 with the Keeley mod is my fave. The newer Taiwan-made Boss pedals just aren't the same. There's a Chinese company called Daphon who do really good knock-offs of the original Japanese chipsets. My guy at Roland swears by them.
Flex Music I recently got a Daphon Heavy Metal really cheap on ebay. Sounds great! Would you recommend the chorus?
The chorus is very good, it doesn't sound out of tune like a lot of cheapo chorus pedals. If you're looking for analogue, reliable and cheap then yes.
Flex Music cool thanks!
If you add timeline markers we could compare in any order.
Is the beginning track we are the pigs from suede?
boss has way too many distortion pedals that really don't sound much different and this isn't even half of them.
the camera mic is the first thing , the second one is that the pedals have different settings , with the same setting on every pedal you could hear it a little bit better but the cam mic ruins it anyway
The OD-2 Turbo Overdrive wins. It sounds like the person playing it. Totally different on Turbo and Non-turbo. Very versatile.

Can you turn on all these pedals in the same time?
I have a DS-1, DS-2, HM-2 and a Metalzone. I use the metalzone but I must say that the EQ has to be set just exactly perfect or it sounds terrible.
damn the difference ~ noble effort though ~ good to know they all REALLY do sound the same (Metal pdls excluded)
Hi!
All I can say about DS1 is: I had a problem with my brand new BOSS DS1, here is: when i play clean tone on my guitar it is ok, but when a turn on ds1 there is a volume drop even if volume pot is on max. So i did a burr brown chip mod, and now is a lot better.
Forget to say.. I have and boss mt2 - SUPER pedal for overdrive, low dist, hi gain dist, super pedal. I tried Boss OD2r super pedal too, turbo mod is great.
I recommend these pedal (MT2 and OD2r), but i don't know what to say for DS1.
Do you have a ac adaptor ??. Cuz you may have ran out of battery
+The guitar boss Hi... yea` I have an original roland ac adaptor.. I never use battery...
a few days ago I bought one more boss ds1 ( used, cheap ) and I 've changed d4 and d5 with 2x1n4001 ... Sounds great .
So I discovered in the meantime that the boss ds1 has a problem with guitars that have hi output pickups .
Max 'em all put and play Smoke On The Water.
how about enabling all 6 of them at the SAME TIME? it would be a Mega-death.
DonLduk You didn't watch the video did you?
Peter Annesley 5 years later. Nope.
6 years later, still nope
well when i skip back and forth between 3:00 and 5:20 (first and last pedal) I prefer the first one...
6 on at same time...Ozzy walks in...haha ...awesome
In my opinion the best Boss pedal isnt represented. ThevBoss DA2 adaptive distortion. Awesome pedal
9:08 sounds just like the intro feedback on STP's "Vasoline"
