Yes, that's Oolong. :)
I wanted a buffer at the beginning of my signal chain since when gigging I use quite a bit of cabling. Got a DS-1 since it was the cheapest Boss pedal I could get. (All Boss pedals are buffered) Didn't plan on using it as a an effect, was just going to use it as a buffer. But... when engaged it sounded pretty terrible.
So I got some birthday money from my inlaws I *had* to spend so I upgraded to the Metal Zone. It gets a lot of hate out there and it's easy to get terrible sounds out of it but if you back off on the distortion (halfway at most) and don't get radical with the midrange EQ controls on it it can sound pretty darn good. Back the distortion down to 9 o'clock and it does the blues thing pretty well... beef up the low end with the eq and it sounds pretty rich.
Does a lot more than the metal jiggedy jiggedy jah jah!!!
As I said there's been a lot of hate out there for the MZ, not sure why... maybe people are expecting Diezel tone out of their 1x12 solid state amp with this 90 dollar pedal.
Whatchya think?
