Essential Information About the BOSS MT-2 Metal Zone Pedal

Massive "wall of amps" high gain thanks to its two cumulative gain stages: massive saturation and very long sustain.
Ultra-precise equalization: 3 bands with semi-parametric mids to sculpt the sound from modern metal to thrash.
Surprisingly clean high-gain sound: low noise, sharp attack, and a "direct" feel under the fingers.
Transforms an amp, even a small one: designed to be used from a clean channel.

A Cult Distortion Tailored for the Big BOSS Sound

The MT-2 Metal Zone has established itself as a benchmark among high-gain distortion pedals: a dual gain architecture to push saturation very far, and an EQ section more "surgical" than most classic distortions. Within BOSS's compact pedal range, it clearly targets heavy and modern registers, with mid control fine enough to go from sharp "scooped" tones to thick sounds loaded with low-mids.

For Whom, Which Styles, and In What Context?

This pedal is aimed at guitarists who feel they "lack distortion" with a standard drive, from beginner to advanced levels. Perfect for metal, hardcore, thrash, death, but also for low-tuned riffs that require body and sustain. Live, it can serve as a backup distorted channel on a clean amp; in the studio, its EQ helps place the guitar in the mix. Usage tip: start from a clean amp sound, then build your tone with the MT-2.

Pedal maligned but perfect for my style (hard rock). I play on Gibson SG plugged into a blackstar HT5R and it's on fire.
Red card for Woodbrass because for an order placed on Sunday I received my package on Friday at a parcel relay, an amazing feat for a site that highlights the speed of its shipments.

I have had this pedal since 1996 (before Woodbrass?) It's a massacre, I would not let it go for anything in the world...!!! she works wonderfully on transistor amps as well as on tubes; the sounds: metal, heavy, fuzz, crunch, she knows how to do (almost) everything, and does it quite well for a non specific pedal!

I am happy with this great pedal =)
With very precise settings!! You go from very heavy stuff, to a super high-pitched solo =).
Even with almost no distortion the sound farts =)

Questions frequently asked

Does the Boss MT-2 Metal Zone suit low tunings?

The Middle section combines a level control and a semi-parametric frequency control. The mid frequency can be selected from 200 Hz to 5 kHz to scoop the sound or enhance the low mids.
