New Levels Of Distortion

One of the things that has been kind of bugging me about my guitar sound was the level or 'sound' of the distortion I have been using. I was using a Boss Heavy Metal (HM-2) pedal that really didn't suit the style of music we were playing, although it had plenty of sustain for those big thrashed chords.

So, at the weekend I went to Shimamura music and picked up a new Boss Distortion (DS-1) to replace the HM-2. The sound difference was quite different...more spiky, or Indie, you could say, and much closer to the sound I'm looking for. So the HM-2 has served its time and been retired, after 10 years of service, to the back of my amp.

Looking forward to getting with MJ Ultra this week and trying my new DS-1 out!
