The Laney Billy Corgan Signature is a specialty amplifier or effects pedal created in collaboration with Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins, designed to deliver the massive, wall-of-sound distortion character associated with Corgan's recording tones on Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie. Laney built amplifiers for Billy Corgan during the Smashing Pumpkins' peak years, and the signature product reflects that relationship and Corgan's specific tonal requirements.
The Boss MD-2 Mega Distortion is a high-gain distortion pedal from Boss delivering massive, heavy distortion with boosted low-end for extreme guitar and bass applications. The MD-2 is designed for players who need the heaviest, most saturated distortion in Boss's product lineup.
