Yo , lots of high gain you hear on records are achieved through a booster type (clean boost, treble boost, Ts type overdrives) pushing an overdriven amp and sometimes some pwerful preamps added on top of that !!
My Mangojuice was a high gain type ....a re-issue ...maybe :roll:
The Boss BD 2 is high gain type too and nice with mods as it becomes pick and guitar volume sensative !! Very popular with mods
A Big Muff can be tweaked and driven to high gain territory but easily falls to fuzz .....

Er.. BD2 = hi gain? I think it's high gain if you're using it as the main dirt pedal into a cleam amp but not as an overdrive to push an overdriven amp.
I tried overdriving my amp with the BD2 and I don't really fancy the distortion I get as compared to the TS. Same results in cases where I overdrive distortion pedals. Maybe I'm into the compressed tone. :? Don't fancy the "open" tone.
Talking about Muff. I was using it for metal riffing for a little while in fact. Gain/Sustain at 8 o'clock and pushed by a TS9 and it's METAL! An alternative for you guys to try. :lol:

Yes and no (cause Bd2 needs to be modded to do the tricks)
Aft mod the BD2 drive from (o'clock) 8 to 10 = clean boost, 10 to 1 od (open sounding type) 1 to 3 Dist and 3 to full= its reachin fuzz territory !!
The tone function needs mod here ...but its subjective
I LOVE THIS BIT

i think this was said before.
The jnh dist side sounds very thinny on a small amp. Sounds great on a huge amp though. So your amp may play a part in it sounding "good" and "lousy". 170 is a pretty good deal. If i were you ill try it out on a amp around the size of the one im using at home. Then can roughly know where it stands when using a small amp
just my 2 cents
