MDI-2 Bass Distortion Review: It works great for heavy sound and at $15 you can't... | Arion | Bass Effects | Reviews @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com

ultimate-guitar.com

The Arion MDI-2 Bass Distortion delivers a wild and over-the-top distortion that's perfect for genres like heavy metal and punk, especially at its low price of $15. However, while the sound is a standout feature, the pedal's reliability is questionable, with reports of it shorting out after minimal use. Ease of use is a strong point, thanks to its intuitive controls. Ultimately, the MDI-2 is a decent choice for budget-conscious players seeking a unique sound, but its durability issues may leave some hesitant. You get what you pay for, and this pedal reflects that reality.
