Solid, Simple, Efficient = Boss

USE

This pedal really has great possibilities of sound thanks to the many knob
I managed to find my sound pretty rapidemment

SOUND QUALITY

Exelente
The bass is how to say ... Destructive = D !! I love
This is for the Metal eh! ... Not something else, is written Metal Zone above then do not buy it if it is to do the lil Rock, otherwise it will still be opinions cans like below xD short is for Metal, Soul sensitive refrain!

NOTICE GLOBAL

About 1 year
I try many distortion pedals, none has convinced me that the hand of course =)
The bass is? Like everything else dailleurs !! there is possibility not to be "too much" spit and AC is cool!
I suggest you may be fair to leave a battery in it even if you do not use, the battery will cushion a little when it will trigger the distortion if it's really dry claps almost xD
I would do this choice again

Everything said prcedemment t ...

USE

The edition of the sounds is not easy because with the EQ can be obtained DIFFERENT sounds billions compared to another distortion pedal povre ... so look for ...

Clear manual with examples of very good sounds ...

SOUND QUALITY

The pedal is realistic to make small overdrives (even if this is not his first goal, it excels for its sounds ...) and make a big sound mtalleux or just hard rock .. .dropoff window

I use a Gibson SG Standard.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I've had 3-4 years ... Resale is very expensive so no loss of sub-sub to the case where it does not suit you or you're tired ...

It is a little chre anyway ... He must couplet 1 or 2 other pedals for a particular grain ...

Analog distortion pedal robust design (case and knobs), standard BOSS diet. Made in Taiwan.

I / O jacks, knobs LEVEL, DIST, HIGH, LOW, MID and MID FREQ.

USE

Exit the manual, plug the knobs and triturated directly to see that the equalization opens up many possibilities.

SOUND QUALITY

Used on many amp studio / stage Marshall, Fender, Crate, H & K ... Last test at home on a Fender Champion 110 (25w training) + a copy of lp59 by Hohner equipped with a big-HB bridge output level.

Starting from a neutral setting to the amp as the MT-2 can guess the drive to zero it will bleed. One turn confirms Drive fast as the potential is there and arrived halfway the knobs we are already in a well fitted distortion.

It quickly became apparent that the interest (and difficulty) of this pedal lies in the exploitation of the equalizer knobs. LOW responds perfectly to what can be expected of him, the HIGH is subject to a fine or very fine adjustment. The MID and MID FREQ are those on which flies the most time.

The combination of these different settings provides a frankly interesting distortion palette which, in my view, covers the needs of who wants a sound that déboîterait HP. I could play the TOOL, or the Sepultura Hardcore without being ashamed of my sound for years.

NOTICE GLOBAL

Purchased in the late 90 years I have used for at least 5 years in a metal style before turning to more 70s sounds.

At the time I did not try other pedal as BOSS MT-2 and were THE reference in pedal at a good price, competition was not the same either.


The only drawback of this pedal already been discussed hundreds of times, the highs are very fast or too present. This is very characteristic of this pedal and Modified exist for those who are not there. Character that I was never too bothered as long as I did not push too far or DRIVE HIGH but must recognize that at some level DRIVE punishment must be taken to refine the equalization under penalty of falling into a rather unfortunate sound mush.

In holding the potential of the pedal it deserves to ask the mod or not.


Purchase today I would do if I was looking for a sound metal.

All t already say again ...
I put 10 because it is solid and well built and I've never had a problem with, even by snapping it by jumping on ...

USE

Then the Gnral the configuration is zero because to find his SON is literally the galley because of the sensitivity of the knobs that interfre on each other! It must be very longtemp getting used to and come back several times over and not be discourage if not do as most people ... it sells because we managed to not be used !dropoff window
I put 4 because it really is galere adjust as desired.

SOUND QUALITY

I use it on a ac15cc1x vox with gibson sg standard. Once the problem of the past adjustment you have to use the good stuff! This significantly changes the pedal according to the guitar amp and used !!! I have no more rotten config without saying what is huge and little I turn up the volume, the fuzz goes away and leaves the pedal to express all heated by lamps and only the sound is good for the trash heavy metal of death that kills. A lower volume without pauffiner its tuning sound is REALLY garish and not top but otherwise it is pretty well done and his works.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I've had a year that I hate is that I took a year for me to realize that I do not know how to use this pedal so the sound is huge pallette is coming back on it, really working its settings that something of this pedal can be drawn which is far from being bad!

with the experience I did not do this choice because I have too galr ie use it and in the meantime I found another way to have the distortion that kills ...

(Ie that there are guitarists who use the pedal on rectifier8 mesa -) ...)

Much of pedal ditorsion sre! Made for the metal, rock and hard rock (see the little blues-rock) this pedal is a real bomb in her!
Its 3-band EQ provides a rather extreme versatility.

USE

Ouch! If you want to acqurir he'll have to arm yourself with patience and great spirit to find THE sound for you because it is so tent to do everything quickly we forget all our rglages. Luckily the manual provides examples and explains its more or less the details of the pedal otherwise ...

PS: the sound given by the distortion is also changed by the amp you use!
pay attention to the pedal rglages AND amp

SOUND QUALITY

Nothing to say about this because if the use is not something ais sound, it is a marvel!
Very Mtal East / hard rock, this pedal will satisfy large and small rocker mtaleux

NOTICE GLOBAL

I have 2 and a half months and I can not get enough!
Strengths: sound, its size (no bigger than a palm) robustness, definition
Weakness: The configuration (even if it's not too difficult at the beginning, her can dcourager)

Pedal that I recommend to everyone as well as beginner and wish you confirm (if you dj) a very good game and (if you do not have it and that you think to buy it) go for it !!

This pedal is a stew. Of course it may be appropriate for a beginner on an amp 5 watts to play in his room, but the sound remains cold, artificial, the shrill treble, mids acids them, well it is true that it gives illusion of some potato game, but it's still very good all artificial, there is no definition, no respect of touch. A beautiful stew usurps the reputation.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I used a long time ago, I tried a number of distortion, stews as the metal zone or dod death metal, a fuzz face, other more conclusive as the marshall shred master, the 'Ibanez Tube King, and I look acqurir a blackstar dist x which has a grain more natural and melodious, bass and treble much quilibrs and a significantly better definition, while both very respectful of touch.
The particular feature that I liked in the metal zone (the only) c the potato, however, I do not have that choice.

very good powerful and simple to use distortion agrssive
adjustment of level high low mid frequency balance and the level of distortion






USE

C't my first distortion pedal and I will probably not change for another I now use a marshall mg is Idale to find the sound you want to obtain

SOUND QUALITY

It sounds great on my marshall whether for rock or single default Mtal produces breath when used in high distortion but nothing serious

NOTICE GLOBAL

about 3 years I believed

not

its quality distortion and moin breath it produces

very good

probably I also have a sm7 Ibanez and I prefer by far the boss

No introduction of yet always present in the universe of effects pedals. Despite its creation date, I do not know much distortion pedal for electric guitar which rivals! Powerful and versatile, it will revive all the followers of heavy distortions (Ideal Death / Black Metal / Trash) and softer, offering a range of sound both rock and grunge. Connection via Jack sockets. Mains or battery 9v.

UTILIZATION

Easy to use, no need to be a sound engineer, adjustments being made to the ear with the different buttons.

SOUND QUALITY

Hard to find fault. It can be coupled noise gate when in use.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been over 15 years that I use, and I confess it hard to part with ...

wide pallets distortion thanks to the equalizer really pleasant surprise. ç'est heavy it does not overflow and not mushy like some of all a better omelette. With a very good amp booster neighbors want more light. My rating 6/10

UTILIZATION

we can currently easier what did turn the knobs. What a boss pedals! 7/10

SOUND QUALITY

very good and can be better than simulators. fender My TV it takes for a large humbucker. 8/10

OVERALL OPINION

recently because it is a compulsive shopping for antiques and I do not beurk.Franchement'll never think of this as a year there modèle.Il boss took out a first model really bad heavy metal deprive this occasion no shortage . 9/10

Very strong, fairly well designed, it is a small analog distortion pedal on which much has already been written. Escape of a golden age that we would now gone, that was where the Heavy Metal music purists in search of authenticity and not a business in which the same principles we try to apply that took Skin rap (I find that there is a world of difference between "Fear of a Black Planet" by Public Enemy - how I loved and commercial soup we refile the young But I digress).

MT2 "Metal Zone", then! The least we can say is that the opinions are divided. So here came time for me to take sides.

No, it is not the monster that violence is described: you can actually get caricatured sounds borderline ridiculous but it is not the goal. Stack a tube Hi-Gain pushed tab will always better in terms of aggression (I did not say gain, I said attack!) Which is quite logical considering that it cost twenty times more expensive!
However MT2 allows the guitarist to good taste (for metal and toc) but unfortunately impoverished access to Hi-Gain cheaply. Therefore, in these times it Painkiller, Altar of Sacrifice, The Lions Den and all other gems of our heritage! God created the Heavy Metal and benevolence he thought all purses!

Guitar in, amp out, a power supply plug Boss, the beast can run on 9 volt battery. No true bypass but it is remarkably transparent. 4 knobs, two of which are dual function that makes us 6 settings!
Level, Hi, Low, Mid, Mid Freq, Dist. The latter corresponds to the setting of Gain. The amount of gain that is capable this pedal is simply ridiculous. I played ultra-violent stuff a good part of my life (no, I'm not talking about Fashion-New-Emo Metal girls with rimel and nails all black and pout today, I talking about stuff men!) and I do not see any that may well need such a level of gain! In any case, my DOD DEATH METAL I had in the 90s certainly did not gain much, and yet I feel like humbuckers mounted on a chainsaw when I tried to play with. .. well, never mind.

A variety of groups have achieved excellent albums with the "Swiss Army knife of distortion" (to borrow a phrase from "guigue106") and those who preceded him at BOSS: before 5150 it was not so obvious to fuck a big sound Hi-Gain reasonable volume!

UTILIZATION

I highly recommend putting all settings to 50% otherwise it could be quite unsettling! The equalizer allows such a variation of the tone that is quickly lost and light years away from her that we had in mind! This makes this pedal rather inaccessible at first, he must grope, and do not forget that the guitar also has settings, so do not hesitate to vary the volume and tone of the latter!

I mainly used with with a Jackson Dinky (Seymour Duncan SH1) An ESP MII (EMG 81) and a Stratocaster (FAT 50), it was fairly respectful of his guitar in all .. . Okay, that is not a Princeton Reverb not eh!


SOUND QUALITY

The four-band EQ provides a wide variety of sounds that is a fact. Big sound consistent enough to ice flood of notes with a finger raised, lowered and another two fingers up! Followers of the True Black Metal is here as it happens! Thrashmen from all sides you are also welcome!

Do not listen to the apostles of "ooh it's always the same sound loud!" : Arch is super fake! Good "Hard rocker" which has a minimum of baggage in styles a little pêchus will tell you: "mediums, it is the largest in the Heavy Metal!" (Other sounds also retorts bluesman who I replied "Good! But will see the side of the TS 808 friend, here it is not for you!") Therefore hold that the young gain MT2 100% equalization fucks a "V" and his guitar unresolved branch with rotten on the poor pedal cords that had not asked for anything before addressed to its solid state amp (or worse, modeling!) inevitably gets cold and his final frankly disgusting. It is cruel, especially as each of us deserves a good sound!

So why not lower the gain already 50% up mediums, go easy on the bass and treble, then set all the onions to your liking? Well done, sent to an amplifier whose lamps are highly stressed, here are available to you excellent sound!

Personal note: it also works with women ...

There are more than a little work accuracy and fast you'll end up with a sound fucking killer!

The spectrum covered by this pedal is so broad that it seems to me frankly difficult to identify general characteristics. Mutes can be deaf or very aggressive. Attacks pick can be either too invasive, sometimes rather smooth ... The sound is the time from the edge, sharp, it can pierce the mix with some authority, unlike anything you have to say as nonsense . It will be difficult to have a chubby with his other hand ... Let us therefore directly defects.

The shortcomings of this bug then? Outside its totally unusable Gain 3h past (and personally, I really think this applies to all the knobs, but after all, everyone's tastes!) It lacks dynamics. if so. It has a fairly strong compression and frankly, even setting reasonable gain (10am!) Audio only brighten when decreases (ie when descending because it decreases down to when is a good GV , which may include especially you, Dede! but I digress again) the volume of the guitar (for which we do not need CATi). So we will experience the greatest difficulty in getting a little dirty clear, including with a cut for that guitar ... You will struggle to qualify his game .. That is why it shines guèrepour Vintage rock and blues . The counterpart is that we did not really need to attack with, so that the beginner who has made all his education in the company of the beast is destabilized enough the first time he finds himself on a real amp stuffed with tubes. He finds that it lacks fishing, which is normal since it does not attack! But that's another story ...

OVERALL OPINION

MT2 is a good little pedal rather endearing, well built, cheap and fucks a mitigated by the fault of the poor guy who did not understand that his is above all in the fingers, then the reputation guitar, strings, pickups and finally the amp. It is not really versatile, it goes from big at Hard Rock Death Metal, she knows how to do it, but after all it was created for this purpose and it does it very well. She deserves that we spend time on! But that also applies to my FUZZ FACE for a Tube Screamer for an old KLON or a whole lot of good amps! In music we have something for nothing, that's all!

This is already a classic and I think it could ultimately become a legend as some of his ancestors once we have understood that the pedals special emulation Screamo / Fake / Neo / Metal are perfect for styles which they intending, ie .. But do show respect ... anyway!

Ah no, my good lady, it's not a pedal for pussies! But I heartily recommend the young who want to have fun with music that ruffles the hair, smelling of leather and sweat! It will pay for!

UTILIZATION

It's pretty simple, and it is interesting to see how the EQ gives its color to the sound. I play thrash and manuals provide options, but personally, I find it more interesting to look yourself.

SOUND QUALITY

Well, it does not lack punch and less aggression, this side no complaints. After I think it is each recipe. For my part, I find the sound compressed, nasal, it emits a lot of breath and feedback even at low volume (I recommend using it with a noise gate). It's funny when you're in the room you can make such a feedback, but I guess it's more hassle when the sound is background.
If you want a consistent sound, solid and body, forget this pedal. on the other hand, for fans of the under or over dripping sounds, it will do.

OVERALL OPINION

It was one of my first pedals I've used quite a few actually. She never gave me too much more. A twisted knobs and caps out easily. You can always do something, personally I use when I want a dripping sound ominous ... Basically, it seems to me not bad for the black death or under, but for a more consistent sound thrash (Testament, for example) I do not find it terrible.
