I don't want to be pessimistic... but ie, Kurt Cobain made a lot of dynamic songs like "Smell Like Teen Spirit", were the only shit he needed was a DS-1, and a Chorus to obtain a rich variety of sounds. I think the idea this pedal was conceived was to avoid buying different types distortions and buy the single pedal to obtain them all. In my humble opinion, it's not a MT-2, it's not a Blues, it's not a DS-1, it's nothing. Great idea... bad results.
hey guys i just got this pedal and im running it through a marshall MG dfx amp with EMG 81/85 humbuckers and its like cutting out on the high gain on my distortion channel. does anybody have a fix 4 this? much appreciated
i bought this pedal about 4 months ago. it was OK... but i decided to trade it in for a new Boss BD-2 (the blues driver) and what a difference! for rythem and lead the BD-2 just sounds alot better, i love the blues driver. DN-2 in my honest opinion is lower quality than even a DS-1. Sure the dyna amp technology sounds innnovative and is fun for a while but the DN-2 just sounds like a blanket on your amp no matter what settings you dial in DN-2 = NOT GOOD
I kinda like how this guy always has one specific riff that he likes too fall back on, because then you can hear exactly how much the overall tone changes with each setting.
Why in the world do people compare the guys who do the demos???????? That's about as relevant as the color of one's shirt. LOL This guy does just fine. :) Hey, would you buy it if Clapton did the demo? I get a kick out that! :)
i play alot of alterantive music such as three doors down, goo goo dolls and that kinda stuff. i just got this pedal because because most of those songs go from clean to light or medium distortion and so far i have to say that this pedal is serving me well. i didn't expect much from it being that is in more of a concept/experimental pedal but the tone shaping is supirsing from it. i really like this pedal's sensitivity as well.
Yeah, me too Slashnpraise. I watched this 2 days ago and went to my little shop downtown and tried it. Sounds great. Bought it! Love the dynamics. Really does wonders for my Tele. It was between this and the TS-9. The Dyna Drive felt "alive" compared to the T. (and I like the T a lot!). Also picked up a Boss CS-3 compression pedal. The two together are fantastic thru my Fender amp.
Ok,proguitarshopdemos beats this but at least this is way better than the gearwire pedal reviews.Gearwire is only good at reviewing amps not pedals and effects!
don't bag on the man just because he can play a mean blues lick more than once. Hell, if I could just play some nice blues solos and riffs like that I'd be a one man band by now.
better than guitar world. that guy is insane...demos suck...he always must open the pedal...must check every paper in the box...oh my God...allready five minutes passed....and he plays only for one minute...
Why would show off different tones when you're not going to show them to full extent, and only going to play the same pentatonic licks again and again?
This could definitely sound awesome if you could get a style that fits it's tone. It's not blues.
this guy is pretty good...just because he not into you kind of music..don't mean he can't play. sounded some hendrix in there. you would not have your wild assed stuff if it wasn't for that.
please, i need some help fast, because me b-day is in thext week, and im am going to wish a pedal from my parents, and i rlly want a good grunge pedal, is this any good for that? is there any other better? thx : )
@lipevicious Instead of "Indy Rock" why don't you pick a band that's got a sound you're thinking of and find out what equipment the guitar player uses.
@ihatemikestanley no it doesn't, it's also a genre of music. vampire weekend have a record label and they are indie and i imagine its something along the lines of their guitar sound he wants.
@BallydoolyHardstyle If they have a record label they are not independent! I think the genre of music you are thinking of is avant-garde. Look it up. Indie = Independent label not Indie =/= Music Genre.
@ihatemikestanley Unfortunately you are wrong lol. 'indie' is an actual genre of music. It originally did mean that a band was 'independant', but now it is also used to describe an actual type of music. There are a lot of 'indie' bands in england especially.
a good guitar player can do that with his touch and the volume knob, like brian may, he always play dirty, and he uses very well the volume knob of his guitar
... if you're playing on a fairly cranked and powerful tube amp with some decent pickups on your guitar that is! And if not - tadaaa! Boss RN-2 comes into business. I'm seriously considering buying this for my fathers birthday since i can't find a smooth way to "get dynamic" with his setup. He plays a Fender Strat Highway One on a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe 40-watt tube amp, and whenever lowering the guitar output (when disted), the signal gets too weak to create that fat "crunch" one's looking for.
@Secondnature4 I have one that I use as a sort of boost. I love it because I do a lot of subtle dynamic builds that I wouldn't be able to do properly by stomping on a distortion pedal.

Simply not true. Even the highest quality OD pedal will not do what this does - it's not a matter of component quality, it's a matter of design.
I'm not saying that a Klon, DLS, BOR, etc can't respond dynamically - they certainly can, but not quite like this.
