Distortion Pedal Review – Boss MT-2 Metal Zone
Written by admin on January 28, 2009 – 4:13 pm -
I have been using the Boss MT-2 Metal Zone Effects Pedal in my setup for a few years, and I have to say, this thing rocks! It offers precision tone controls that allow you to dial in the perfect amount of room shaking, sustain filled distortion. The Boss MT-2 Metal Zone comes equipped with a 3-Band EQ also which allows you to set your High and Low shelving, as well as tweak the mid band parametric sounds. The pedal also allows you to control the overall volume level, and distortion level.
This pedal can achieve a variety of different distortion sounds because of the EQ Tone controls on the pedals front. All of the sounds though are HEAVY. This pedal is designed for Hard Rock and Metal in mind. It allows you to really nail blazing solos, tackle intense hammering and also pinch harmonics.
Overall Quality: The Boss MT-2 Metal Zone pedal creates high quality sounds, and is built to last. It is made of sturdy steel which will hold up nearly forever, and can really take a beating and keep working. The effect and EQ controls are also a great feature on this pedal. They work flawlessly, respond immediately and allow you to really dial in your sound.
Sound: This pedal is Heavy, with a capital H. It can make a mid quality amp sound like a Marshall Stack. The sound quality is excellent, and the possibilities of sounds are endless with the MT-2 precision controls. It is perfect for Thrash Metal but, can also create a good fuzz tone or a heavy muffled distortion ton.

I am in a Metal band and use this pedal. It is great. It is a really high quality distortion pedal. I normally only play Boss pedals, and this thing reminds why. It creates scorching sounds, and seething distortion tones. I use it often, and love it.

This pedal is awesome. I’ve been playing guitar for 25 years and I love this pedal. It is great for all types of hard rock and metal. Plug this sucker into a vintage tube amp, like a 1971 Fender Bassman Ten, and get a killer tone! Dude – you gotta get it.
