This is a clever little pedal. Channel 1 starts at the almost-clean genre and winds up to a hefty crunch, Channel 2 starts at 'I've got some unresolved anger issues' and winds right around to 'how Lars Ulrich felt about...

Boss do some pretty tasty sounding pedals. This isn't one of them, but hey, there's a place in the world for the beastly, the unsettling, the grotesque, right? Model: Boss ML-2 Metal CoreMade: Taiwan, Jul 2012 (serial H0C8361)Type: distortionPower: standard 9v negative supply or...

The HM-2 is perhaps the most scoffed-at/adored distortion on the internet. The Hyper Metal was the model that superseded that, so it's got the same controls (just dime them all, of course)Â but with a slightly more 'modern' edge to the...

This has a little more gain on tap than the ubiquitous SD-1, plus it's a slightly more trucks-and-diggers yellow. Nice little sturdy overdrive with plenty of midrange grunt and punch. Model: Boss OD-3Made in: Taiwan, Mar 1999 (serial BM02705)Type: mid gain overdrivePower:...

Back in the early 2000s when Linkin Park was my favourite band, this came out. I wanted one so bad. My music taste has evolved (not much tbh), but I still think this is the best/worst sounding dirtbox around. Model: Boss...

The RAT is one of the most iconic filthboxes ever made. It's a fun and kinda silly idea to recreate such a scungy tone with super hifi components and more options, but hey, they did. It sounds great, there's heaps of control of...

It's a fuzz, but it'll wind right down to a very mild breakup... this lives in that sweet magic between fuzz and distortion. It's a lovely rich singing tone, plus the EQ knob offers a whole heap of variation in...

Here's one that's been often-imitated-never-replicated... the Dist+ made in onto some big records in it's day. It's driven by an op-amp and germanium transistors, so it's got a really particular tone: smooth lows with heaps of clarity through the top...

This is a pretty nasty sounding pedal. It's kinda got that almost digital sizzle and sputter to it; it's pretty gross but for a certain garage punk or lo-fi grunge thing, maybe it's kinda perfect. It's objectively bad, but maybe you'll...

When I bought this, the gent who sold it to me lauded it's many virtues as a far more powerful and better sounding version of the ubiquitous Sansamp Bass DI. You know what? He's right, it is a better version...

Here we have a proper vintage D&S II, complete with box and papers and in great shape. It's too old to have a 9v input or even an LED, but hey, you'll know it's on because you'll sound better. The...

This sounds awesome. The D&S II runs on a pair of op-amps with germanium clipping diodes, so it sounds similar to the classic 808, but with more low end heft and gain range. It's perfect for punchy, warm blues leads...

Maxon '01 Series' pedals were made in the late 80s and sold exclusively to the domestic Japan market. This is basically a take on the Ibanez SM-9, which Maxon made, in a new box. It's driven by a pair of...

This is a lot of fun. There's a hep of gain range on tap, as well as a blend control to maintain at least some grip on reality. The mid shift control is handy too; you can scoop or boost...

This isn't a friendly, nice little edge-of-breakup overdrive, it's a nasty, unhinged metal distortion voiced similarly to old Boss favourites like the MT2 and HM2. It's got a handy parametric mid control and a built in noise gate to tighten...

It's big, it's gold, all the knobs go to 11... we're off to a good start, right? This is the all-in-one gain stage solution for your board, covering boost all the way to fuzz and metal flavours. Super handy, easy...

Boss DS-1... could it be the most iconic dirt pedal of all time? This orange box of anger dates to 1986 and was made in Japan. There is a certain tone to the MIJ models you don't get from the...

These old Boss overdrive pedals are enjoying a renaissance. This was made in Japan, and despite having a few cuts and bruises, it works just fine and sounds great. Your playing needs a 'turbo' mode right? Right. Model: Boss OD-2Made in: Japan, 1985-9...
