The Boss ML-2

I am considering buying it just because I'm currently a bit bored with my Digitech RP-250

What do you think?

I've never owned that particular pedal, but I have other boss pedals including the MT-2, and I'm really not impressed with them. It takes a lot of fiddling to come up with a halfway decent tone, and then when you try to play live with it you end up with some earsplittingly bad tones.

Whereas the Electro Harmonix metal-muff I recently invested in sounds awesome right out of the box. I recommend one of those.

Boss has not blown me away, despite all the famous people who use their gear.

I like the Boss bass pedals, but I have tried the ML-2 and my biggest complaint was that they don't sound very good at loud volumes. If you're just going to use it for practicing or home recording then I'd say go ahead, but it isn't very good for a live kinda sound.

I was never a huge fan of multi effects pedals.

Unless your in pink floyd, you really don't need one. I just personally recommend getting the majority of your tone from your amp, and then maybe using a pedal or two to tweak it.

For example, I have my marshall stack, and I just use a Boss EQ and a Boss Noise suppressor. I have the mids boosted, the bass boosted a tiny bit, and I put the gain level up a tiny bit, but only if I'm at low volumes. It takes me a minute and thirty seconds to set it up onstage.

By the way, if you need a noise suppressor or an EQ, I highly recommend boss. They're build solid enough that you probably won't even get to use it until it breaks, you'll just sell it or something.

I usually do this, I just bought it to screw around with at home.

Get one of these, they kick ass.

I got my hands on the ancient Russian one, cast iron and army tank green lol

That's so savage.

This. It doesnt do very well under distortion either. And i also agree with the statement that multi effects pedals have never been impressive

Stop using pedals and buy a quality processor. Most have buttons to push or a pedal to kick to change from user preset to user preset so they work just as good as a massive pedalboard live.

Pick up this fancy little preamp if you can afford to...
