MDI-22 Distortion
The Ken Multi MDI-22 Distortion: A Retro Japanese Gem for Modern Tones Discover the hidden gem of the early 90s Japanese effects world - the Ken Multi MDI-22 Distortion. This unassuming pedal packs a punch far beyond its compact, durable chassis, delivering a versatile range of rich, responsive distortion tones. At the heart of the MDI-22 lies the legendary JRC4558 op-amp, a true workhorse that defined the sound of countless classic Japanese overdrive and distortion pedals. Channeling that signature midrange punch and tight low end, the MDI-22 offers a remarkably dynamic and touch-sensitive response, seamlessly transitioning from smooth, creamy overdrive to thick, saturated distortion. Three intuitive controls - Level, Tone, and Distortion - give you precise command over your sound. Dial in the perfect balance of output volume, frequency balance, and gain intensity to suit any playing style, from blues-rock crunch to high-gain metal mayhem. The MDI-22's voicing is a perfect complement to both single-coil and humbucker equipped guitars, making it a versatile addition to any rig. Though it may lack the name recognition of more famous distortion pedals, the MDI-22's origins within the same OEM that produced iconic units for Aria, IMG, and others means it shares the same quality construction and timeless sonic character. Discover the hidden gem of Japanese effects history and unlock a new world of dynamic, responsive distortion with the Ken Multi MDI-22.
