Sound Island

I am deeply impressed by the sound this baby produces. It was a pleasant experience to use this BOSS’ creature. Now it is definitely one of my most favourite distortion pedals along with BOSS MT-2 Metal Zone and AMT Fatal Tube.

As its name says, first of all, by using this effects pedal you can get a heavy metal sound like, you know, Iron Maiden. But furthermore, it also provides you with wide range of distortion settings so you can find grunge or nearly overdrive sound as well.

I personally used it to form ’80s hard rock sound (Scorpions, Yes!) and the pedal was really perfect in it, at least on my set-up (Fender Stratocaster, Marshall 100 watt amp, Marshall “head”). So in the first place I recommend this effects pedal to those who needs this type of sound.

On the other hand, I’m sure if I get on with experiments with distortion settings and other equipment, more new interesting sound would come up. Maybe something like Alice Cooper’s or even industrial or nu-metal. Just keep turning knobs and find your sound.
