The Boss MT-2 Metal Zone features a dual-gain distortion circuit, producing some of the most versatile distortion sounds I have ever heard and is one of the best-selling compact effects pedals of all-time. The range of distortion covers everything from low gain breakup to totally over-the-top insane. With huge mids and lows it can make small and mid-sized combo amplifiers sound like a high gain head plugged into a closed back speaker cabinet. It especially excels at Thrash Metal sounds in the style of Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, and Megadeth. Separate controls are included for level, distortion and three bands of EQ. The EQ section offers 15 db of cut or boost at each frequency center and includes both High and Low shelving EQ, plus a mid-band Parametric EQ with a 200hz-5Khz sweep. Boss compact, durable housing with easy access battery compartment is truly one of the best pedal designs of all time! The wide range of distortion and flexible EQ make for an extremely versatile unit. The manual lists several reference settings that sound great on their own, but also can be used as a starting point for creating your own sounds. These settings cover basic overdrive, 80s Metal, Modern Metal, 70s Classic Rock, Progressive Rock, early British rock, 50s style Rock n' Roll, and 60s fuzz among others.

At first when I bought this pedal, I thought it was the best distortion I have ever heard. From using it for about a year and gaining more knowledge about guitar tone in general, I've realized that it's kind of a piece of junk. You can, although, get a huge range of sounds all from this pedal. It has super harsh distortion and you can really chug out on this thing. The bad thing about this pedal is it totally kills the guitars original tone. Also It's very ear-piercing, I tried micing my 30 ibanez amp with a shure sm57 and it sounded horrible. The highs were so whiny that it felt like my ears were bleeding when I listened to the mix.Basically this pedal is for people who aren't very experienced with eq and just want a overall metal sound without having to spend a lot of time or money to find it.If your looking for something of quality do not buy this pedal but if your an aspiring metal guitarist with a bad setup, this pedal will make you sound amazing compared to what your used to.

Comments about Boss MT-2 Metal Zone Effects Pedal:
I love the MT-2, though it is a complicated pedal. I usually like very simple effects pedals but the metal zone is my exception. After you spend the time to dial it in where you want it, it sounds amazing for playing metal and soloing. Also, if you crank down the treble, it makes a very good bass distortion, especially when combined with a wah pedal. It's a good pedal all around, but probably not best suited for a beginner because it requires a decent understanding of equalization.
Pros
- cheap
Cons
- Eq Sucks
- Poor sound
- To Fuzzy
Best Uses
- Not For Live Performances
Comments about Boss MT-2 Metal Zone Effects Pedal:
If you're looking for a great distortion pedal that does more than just distortion-get something else that has two stomps in one. 1.More versitallity. 2.It will sound a lot better than this. 3. The eq's will probably be less touchy too.
Pros
- Under 100
Cons
- Weak
Best Uses
- Hard rock
- Metal
Comments about Boss MT-2 Metal Zone Effects Pedal:
OK OK there will be some who will disagree with my rating, but I give one star simply because this thing has absolutely NOTHING on Digitech Hardwire Metal Distortion. Maybe if I didn't own the Digi I wouldn't think this petal sucked so much. But this thing is WEAK, has crappier pinch harmonics, and is "fake" sounding. The Digi is just the bomb. They're around the same price, so don't make the wrong decision!!
Comments about Boss MT-2 Metal Zone Effects Pedal:
I have one in front of an early 80's Peavey Butcher tube head which is basically a JCM 800 copy with 6L6 tubes. It gives me a good crunch, but not on the same level as a searing lead gain channel that a Peavey 5150/6505+ has. Still a very usable pedal, and I get some very nice sound from it. With a wide range of tone I can get by cranking around the dials, I can get the sound that my 5150 lacks. I had this set up years ago, and glad I have it back. Never had a problem with Boss pedals before, and don't see it happening anytime soon.
Pros
- Adjustable Tones
- Great quality
- Perfect Distortion
- Portable
Cons
Best Uses
- Metal
- Rock
- Soft Rock
Comments about Boss MT-2 Metal Zone Effects Pedal:
Honestly, this was my very first pedal i ever bought. This was 11 years ago and it's still pumping. I always resort back to the METAL ZONE. I have tried many pedals at music stores and some are good and some are just a waste. In my opinion this is my favorite out of any other I have tried. In the beginning the feedback was annoying but hell, you get that with anything BUY A NOISE GATE!! I strongly stand by this pedal to this day, like I said 11 years and still going strong... BUY IT!!!
Pros
- Great sound
- Highly adjustable
Cons
- Questionable Durability

Comments about Boss MT-2 Metal Zone Effects Pedal:
Mine died after 5 years of very light use in my home. Never gigged, but recently went to plug in and it was completely dead. Tried new battery, several different 9V power cords that work on other units and no life. Not sure if I would buy again due to this.
Comments about Boss MT-2 Metal Zone Effects Pedal:
this pedal has all you need to play soft rock to heavy metal. great sound, and almost endless possibilities for tone. the equalizer is AMAZING, and that is how you get the array of tones. this thing is built solid as a rock and the only thing it might do is scratch up after a while of use. the only problem is that, it has a pretty good bit of feedback, but overall, this pedal is well worth the money and has great sound. i would HIGHLY recommend his pedal to anyone.
Comments about Boss MT-2 Metal Zone Effects Pedal:
Very Happy. Useful for headphone practicing also. The tone contours are perfect, and the unit reacts fantastically with an old CryBaby Wah in front of it. Really gets that Zakk Wylde sound.
Straight up the "Metal Zone MT-2" is a great had-rock heavy-metal tool. A useful way to add a heavy homogenous wall of stunn to any amp. I wouldn't say it's the total switch-blade though, even with much fiddling it really isn't a blues machine like some folks say. It does have plenty of gain to push the front-end of an amp with the addition of it's own grind. The tone controlls are fantastic, and can drive you down any road you would want to travel. Even fully gained in my 100watt Marshall, the noise isn't that bad. I have certainly heard a lot worse.
Built like a tank.....!!!!!! And the >15 hours battery life is great.
A little pricey, but a quality tool to have in the arsenal.
Comments about Boss MT-2 Metal Zone Effects Pedal:
Overall, I would say that this is a great buy for anybody wanting to produce fantastic metal sounds.I've produced sounds from Avenged Sevenfold, Slipknot, Pantera, Metallica and many other great bands using this pedal. I would certainly recommend it.
I LOVE this pedal. It has an amazing range of tones on it and always sounds beautiful. I do, however, recommend buying a noise gate with this pedal, as it does produce a LOT of feedback.
The pedal is quite durable as well. I've dropped it a few times onto my hardwood floors and whatnot. After a couple years of use, it only has one or two scratches on it. I haven't even had to change the battery in it.
I got my pedal at a local guitar shop around two years ago and I've got to say... you really can't get a pedal to pump out more distortion. Especially not for the money.
Comments about Boss MT-2 Metal Zone Effects Pedal:
The Boss MT-2 is amazing I've been non stop iffy on what distortion pedal to get and this one held a lot of promise so I went for it. It was so worth it the pure aggresion great sustain and extreme versatality of this peadal can't be beet. I have been playing guitar for 4 years and I'm with a band and all though metal is my thing I play plenty of blues and classic rock so I needed the right pedal for the job and I have tryed many but this one did it. It has great distortion awesome Eq. and and sustain and very noise free all in one wack. If you play metal rock fuzz or love versatality like me then quit looking cause you have found the right pedal!
