Boss MT-2 Metal Zone Distortion Pedal
zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Access an array of distorted tones that will make even the cheapest amp sound like a high-end full stack with the Boss MT-2 Metal Zone.
Overview
Equipped with a dual gain circuit, the MT2 provides super-long sustain and heavy mids and lows like a stack of overdriven amps. With 3-band EQ, a wide range of distortion textures is at your command.
Boss's compact pedal line-up began in 1977 with the classic OD-1 Overdrive. Its warm, smooth overdrive sounds and breakthrough Boss pedal features (heavy-duty construction, rubber pads on top and bottom, recessed control knobs, silent switching, a built-in LED, and easy battery replacement) immediately set it apart from other stomp boxes on the market. It established the masterful design for all other Boss effects pedals since.
Throughout the years, Boss has continued to define the cutting edge of guitar effects. Double-layer circuit boards allowed pedals like the DD-5 Digital Delay to deliver studio-quality effects comparable to rackmount units. They recently brought bassists and guitarists the first bass synthesizer in a compact pedal, the SYB-3. On their 20th anniversary they proudly introduced the OD-3 Overdrive, a pedal that takes the smooth, dynamic overdriven tones of the legendary OD-1 to a different level. Like all Boss products, it is a level of sound quality and durability that is… read more unrivaled.

"BOSS MT2 Metal Zone. Gotta have it."

If I ever had to replace the Metal Zone distortion pedal (because I fried it or something.)I would in a heartbeat. It can make just about any guitar setup sound like your playing from an overdriven Marshall stack. Also, this pedal changes with my musical tastes. As I get older I find that I'm turning the amount of distortion used down a little. But, When I really wanna shred. I turn it up and "BAM" I'm 19 again. Overall it's a great pedal.
Sound
The MT2 allows the user to achieve distortion sounds from today's rock music to the Heavy Metal sounds of yesterday's rock.
Features
The duel control knobs make it very easy for the fine tuning of your desired sound.
Ease of Use
Boss pedals are all set to a great height and angle for a natural yet solid foot motion.
Quality
Built to last a lifetime.
Value
This pedal originally sold for as much as $179.00 that was a little steep. Now the pedal is really a great bargain.
Manufacturer Support
The boss support team is very knowledgeable about their products and are very helpful. I needed a part for one of my pedals before and they got it to me very quick. The only thing I did not like about boss is they way over charged me on the parts and shipping. If it wasn't for that they would have gotten a 10.
The Wow Factor
This thing is at the head of my effects chain and I just couldn't imagine ever having a different distortion. I've tried many distortions and found this one to be the absolute best.
Musical Background:
I was an active musican. Now I just play for the fun of it.
Musical Style:
"Rock", "Metal", "Alternative", "Country", "Jazz", "Blues".
