What players and reviewers say
On the DiMarzio BC-2
“The BC-2 pedal is very easy to use with the common Level, Bass, Treble, and Sound (Gain) controls.”
“The FT2 is powerful, but has too much focus in the mids, giving that midrange honk; very different from the BC-2.”
On the DiMarzio Super Distortion S
“On paper, it delivers the bite and sustain of the original Super Distortion with more focus, less flab, and a tighter low end for Strat bridge positions.”
“The low end stays tight and responsive, not the mushy kind that gets lost in distortion.”
