All user reviews for the Boss MT-2 Metal Zone

I got this distortion unit at my guitar store and i paid about US$110 for it and it was a pretty good deal for a unit that packs this much power. I got it because I needed a good distortion tone... I honestly never expected it was going to turn out to pack the most monster distortion ever.



It holds and delivers a great dstortion sound... absolutely a great tone. It is clear and sharp and you can get almost any distortion sound with it. Any metalhead (including myself) would fall in love with this pedal coz you can play real metal through it, like KoRn, Limp Bizkit, METALLICA and all that heavy crap. Bass, Treble, Mid, MidFreq... all included and works well.



Nothing... i have played it through bigger amps than what i have and the sound and quality of the pedal is still there.



It would be able to get thrown off a building and still stay in one piece. I have dropped, stomped and thrown(don't ask why) it and it still works...



If you have a small budget and crave for a monster tone, this is THE pedal... it can't get any better.

I bought this for 130.00 at LA Hilton's because I love BOSS and I needed a really diverse, quality distortion pedal.



Great quality. BOSS is the master of quality. This distortion unit can model almost any kind of distortion that you could ever need or want. And it's a tough pedal, it can take time and abuse. And since this pedal is from BOSS, you know the distortion effect quality is top-of-the line. Sometimes, when I play, I think it sounds just about studio quality. Great distortion pedal all around. No doubt about it.



The price. Even though this pedal is worth every penny you pay for it, I think 130 bucks is a bit high.


Metal casing, heavy. Very durable. I have many friends who use BOSS stomp boxes and they have had them for years and they abuse them like crazy and the pedals are still in prime working condition.


Although the price is a bit high, you cant go wrong with this pedal. In my opinion, you cant go wrong with BOSS period!


The only thing i can see wrong with this pedal is the price. Other than that, it's a perfect pedal.

Good distortion with different parameters, an equalizer that makes sense.

UTILIZATION

Simple, no mind work but as always we must spend some time on history to find a good sound and the ultimate configuration. Why there's a bit while turning in all directions.

SOUND QUALITY

Levels of sound quality, it's okay, not too much wind, the quality of the distortion is good. You can have multiple sounds nice and good quality.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall for someone looking for a distortion not too expensive well made it is a good compromise. There is not enough to break three legs of a duck, but still. I use it everyday and I'm pretty happy.

see on the site

UTILIZATION

I use it as a group in a rack for a while two years may be
Operation is simple gain an equalizer and volume
No need to read the manual
possibility of several grain

SOUND QUALITY

good sound quality, the problem of boss is that you have a good diet for a series of pedal powered, and the sound is changing more and more seon the pedals

OVERALL OPINION

I utlise 2 years for its price is pretty good RAPORT I tried a TRex distortion sound was much more bold, I would make that choice but if I had a little money I buy 50 euro used, I buy a MXR

very good boss disto

6 knobs level, high, low, mid, mid and distortion Frequency converter

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use it quickly finds its sound
not need the manual

SOUND QUALITY

I use it on my marshall mg and sounds!
good distortion for rock, metal

strength: good quality distortion boss

default it produces big breath distortion but nothing serious

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about three more years I believe

It was my first distortion pedal, I also have a ibanez SM7 and I much prefer the boss RAPORT very good value for money

The hard-distortion.
From left to right the six potentiometers are as follows:
Level (effect level)
Lower crown: Graves - upper crown: acute
Lower crown: Frequency Mediums - upper crown: Mediums
Dist: saturation

UTILIZATION

I had left out by focusing on POD XT ... I re-used at the moment with a head Blackstar HT5 (on the clean channel) and I must say it is a return to bluffing. It allows me to have a third channel.
It is very easy to sculpt the sound with four crowns to dig or not mediums, shake out the serious or harmonics.
Level at 10 - Disto at noon than it drips too and a lot of possibilities with the equalization: Judas Priest to Rammstein through AC / DC ACCEPT.

SOUND QUALITY

If you like the Hard and Heavy 80 90 years, it's a must-pedal.
The only criticism we could make it is that it is not very interesting in his little crunch but it is not what is asked ... You will certainly not blame him for not having enough saturation or Punch ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have 16 years and has never failed.
The adapter broke down before it ...
A must have for all fans of Heavy 80/90 years.
Yes I do not regret this choice and if it were to let go now, I think I'll buy one.

- 6 knobs: volume 1 pr, pr 1 pr 4 and the gain equalizer
- An input / output, 1 battery, 1 pr output adapter (optional of course!)
- LED Power

UTILIZATION

Simple
It seems to me sound file examples in the manual (but I lost not sure ...)

SOUND QUALITY

Bon ben distortion level, it sends severe!

J'vous my settings file:
- Low and Disto: 3 / 4
- High / Middle and Mid Freq: 1 / 4

On the amp, my clean sound is:
- Bass and Trebble: 3 / 4
- Middle: 1 / 4

Saturations must love with a big bass presence, of course ...
Only thing a bit annoying: sound pretty cold.

OVERALL OPINION

A very good pedal in both manufacturing (robust, reliable, good looks) and the sound.

It's been over 5 years I have the lugs around, and frankly it's worth it.
A little expensive at the time (700 bullets pr + 200F AC adapter required), his choice
pay for itself very quickly though.

The CHARACTERISTICS are the same as the others since it is the same pedals

UTILIZATION

The configuration means that it must take some time to find his sound. It is not complicated but it must take its time.

I had the pedals without a manual and can be reached trs well.

SOUND QUALITY

Bcp people find this no pedals, or the group in which I play, we are two scratch using the MT 2 and I can tell you that people bcp t surprised by the sound both in the large " croum croum "(the E string is empty smothering, more riffs on the same noisy rglage.

The only recommendation is to attach the pedals a "noise gate" especially for those who use amps dnt infrieure power is 100 W (the trs Larcen happens quickly).

The advantage is that you can play on any amp and get the same sound (has something ready of course) /

OVERALL OPINION

I use the pedals for 7 or 8 years. I stop scratching pdt 4 years, and when I returned, I found nothing better than the pedals, so I have redeemed.
I tried pdaliers numriques but nothing., MT2 power.

report quality price, the price does not drop bcp since I know the pedals (I think that says a bcp on quality.

for all rfractaires, try the slightly longer (if you play from 5150, mesa dual or stuff like a) and you will see that it can DGIG power. I'm glad to see that other 'advice givers' agree that this is a very good pedals ....

Metal style distortion pedal (Metal Zone MT =)
- A knob volume (output volume, not affect the texture of the distortion, excellent for a large volume trs low distortion, parents apprcient 2:00 AM)
- A SETTING THE knob of the distortion
- A 3-band with medium legalization semi paramtrique (we Sets the frequencies and the gain for the medium so)

I put 10/10 for CHARACTERISTICS because it is rare to find a semi-legalization paramtrique in this type of pedals.

UTILIZATION

Could not be more simple: you plug, you play.

SOUND QUALITY

East is metal. Difficult to get a crunch-type lamp with the pedals (ct go of the SansAmp GT2 for a)
on the other hand, it sounds from hell (large distortion, lots of bass) even on a toaster 10W.

I have used with diffrent guitars (Yamaha entry level, Epiphone Les Paul, Stratocaster Squier), the distortion obtained is' similar '(The same note is that the sound will be' large 'with humbucker with single coils, normal)

OVERALL OPINION

I bought a guitar when I started (13 years ago), then resold (Error !!!!!)
I then purchased another 6-8 years ago now. For obrtenir a big distortion (even on a marshall transistor is to say!) The pedals is impeccable.

It is no more expensive than another. The report quality price is right (you need a transformer because the battery is quickly beef). If it slams me in the fingers, I achte another in the crowd.

Trs pedals easy to use, the book is not helpful, you turn the knobs, a flat, you can play, not a flat, it is still running!

UTILIZATION

Pedals only for mtal, trs hard to get anything other than the distortion (fuzz? Overdrive ?...) I put 9 because if I bought it not to make blues ...

SOUND QUALITY

It sounds trs, trs cold, trs "synthetic" to me ...
The pedals must be INTERESTED couple of distortion of an amp in need of parameter.

OVERALL OPINION

I spare my head when I srement and his cabinet ...

do it again if I choose? not
why? 150 the pedals, I prfr the fuck in the amp, to get better sound out .. Voil

OVERALL OPINION

Jvien of laundry
big fat distortion, very heavy and aggressive
the Otres modelsboss, h & k (warp) produces inch ass of saturated am on taste

pr big distortion, jla advises

This pedal has two knobs singles and 2 doubles.

_ A level (volume).

_ Four Equalizer: High / Low and Middle / Mid Freq.

_ A Dist (to assay the effect).

Connectivity classic Jack and battery (attention: A change often) or 9V jack.

I put 10 because this pedal is, my time, damn good and the settings can easily get what you want.

I call it the neck is made of metal it can stand the shock: It's solid!

UTILIZATION

I is not got the manual and in any case I do not think it's useful if you know what you want.

The equalization of this pedal is great, every knob is sensitive and has just turned one feels directly the difference.

In addition, the knobs do not turn all alone, the neck can easily keep its control during transport.

Is obtained very quickly what you want, from rock to metal well nag: For that there is no problem if we are not afraid to turn the knobs.

I use a Peavey Valveking 212 which for me did not gain quite heavy as a guitarist in a metalcore band. The MT-2 to change everything on my peavey, it was really necessary.

Small disadvantage: With active pickups they need to invest in a noise gate because it blows hard.

So I put 9 because the breath stopped me from 2 months to play with my new guitar, but I challenge that finding a conch distortion pedal that does not add breath.

SOUND QUALITY

While the level you want to piss off the neighbors with something very heavy or dégueux and impress the girls with solos and tapping to send?
So here the pedal for you.

The sound goes from crunch to the big death of Underoath Job For A Cowboy, so we have a choice of impressive but be careful because the amp, for example on my Marshall Valvestate 40W is far from natural and c ' is still not very heavy compared to the Peavey.

Right now I do not play a lot with (except on my Marshall in the evening) because I invested in a head Peavey Ultra Plus, which allows me to compare a bit of both.
First you have to know a head sounds better because it has no vibration, the sound is heavier and natural.
The MT-2 is quite natural (except for the crunch is to review but not its purpose) and you can send as much as the distortion of the ultra (the sound is just a little bit garish with the Boss) .

Finally, it is a pedal that can be easily adapted to other effects and amps.

I put 7 because it's still less natural than the original distortion of an amp range but the average price deference traced the note 8 (for under 700euro is reached without fat especially if c ' is to repeat or play at home).

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months.

At the very beginning I had a Behringer UM100: NOTHING TO DO!
After jsuis go on my Valveking but soon the lead channel was not enough.
When the Boss in hand (or rather feet) I was playing more with the clean channel + pedal.
Now I use it less because I have a head that does not need (and not with the breath I imagine that) but I keep it because it helps out on other amps.

the most:
_ The strength
_ A range of its impressive settings through sensitive and accurate
_ Reliability: I do not know anyone who brought him back in service and then it's Boss ...

Cons:
_ The breath but easily correctable (I invests in NS-2: 90E).
_ The sound a little less natural that amp (have to feel what)

If I had to redo this choice, even new, I remake (if I had not my new amp) because it is worth the money, nothing like the Behringer and it is those who sound the note of 9 .

that sends the heavy distortion, but not only. boss pedal format, standart connection, rock solid and adjustments rather complete for the type

UTILIZATION

I did not have the manual and thought I could do without ... The settings are both simple (volume, gain, bass, treble, medium and medium frequency) but the interaction between medium and medium frequency setting is rather difficult to master. it acts on a frequency that can boost or are hollow. Master delicate so as we move from the lot to mush through criart and excellent.

SOUND QUALITY

the gain is the big crunch that spot already quite saturated compressed to death! the heavy quiet (maiden, scorpions, metallica 1st) to very heavy metal according to the settings but the sounds are not really modern preference. it quickly becomes muddy are some knobs we put a bottom. More clean and versatile as metalcore, much more gain than my amp distortion channel is the 3rd channel j'enclenche when I want to send heavy.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been 6 years that I have and despite the difficulty of setting, it never leaves my pedalboard.
I used not to gain too much to keep a sharp sound, but very clean and if necessary, I OD with a boost upstream to throw up everything.
The value for money is unbeatable and all the distortion I've tried since (BOSS metalcore, DS1, megadistortion have not changed.

This is the PDAL PDAL of mtalleux! It has simple CHARACTERISTICS: 6 buttons rglage.
1 for volume, one for gain, and 4 for qualisation. It operates by battery or AC adapter (rated less than the batteries).

UTILIZATION

It is very simple to use. I got the book free of use. Just tweak the knobs.

SOUND QUALITY

It's the sound I was looking for. Perfect sound for both rhythm and for solos. Excellent also for its palm mute.

OVERALL OPINION

I adopted it for over a year and I sell it for anything. I bought it used (only 30 euros) so I can not advise you at the price but it has nine in the rate 100 euros. Ms that price I would have bought. I advise all grateux mtalleux or mtalleuse.

I am a zik lektronik, so I post this notice to shout NO ON IS NOT THAT OF A METAL AVEK MT2 ...
Do you like hardcore Kicks blind of saturation, the distorted acid bass line ... This pedals is for you ....
I Srieusement branch string effect and use it on a MC-303 and reason (no need to saturate the machine heads) there is a way out of things with a very violent and have APRS compared with a lot of other more distal to ddi zik lektronik I make my choice here ....

OVERALL OPINION

UTILIZATION

This will be my only good for a note from the fact that the manual allows us to test sounds well-typed according to refined tastes, was quasimenet not need the manual and its use could hardly be simpler.

SOUND QUALITY

Realistic? Effective? ca not stick, I can not.
only good thing I really appreciate is the equalization, it is really good and can top out what makes us happy (or so should be difficult).
suitable if you actually wanted no distortion for the home. it's too personal for a live clutter. And even if it is dedicated exclusively to metal, I'm sorry (VERY) bitterly that the same drive in minutes, it crashed too much, otherwise I would have really loved it but ......

OVERALL OPINION

I put 2 because no home I qd even split with the pear, but nothing tangible enough for a component or a live, or can be exceptionally good or you might say to each his own.
Finally, in any case I wanted a little subtle that it is so noted as she wants for my part I would say too flexible: the equalizer are top but I am not come at once to enjoy the sound without me that I wish I could make one more turn in the counterclockwise direction of the knob shows a drive (I translate for the tadpoles, I would just drive down the much lower that it is possible), I wanted to lauras dicret more (I'm going to turn by metals and hardos) but my soul is good pop / rockers, yet not I listen jennifer (although no ca lair to be bad, must be open to but it's just the subject of debate).
in short there are still groups that plays pop and sometimes need a good distortion (sisi Pleymo to listen to the latest rock, pop it in while distortion!) and the ones I tell them hell no! if I had more experience I would never buy. but good to OCCAZ in a closet is true that a black pedal ca claque well for collectinneurs ...!!!

Many critics on the pedals, probably by people who think it is only a PDAL Rock.
It is perfect for the bad sound and mtal deficits in other reviews probably came from a bad amp or a bad guitar ...

the highs are a bit garish (a pa to a bottom) but it just get cold distortion and aggressive but also very fat distortion
It is suitable for all styles of metal

Distortion pedal METAL!
Here, I give my opinion on a modified version by Robert Keeley to states!
4 knobs: level eq bass / treble / mid / rate distortion
more about this release: a 3-position switch
1/version "stock" reworked 2/haut gain Loudspeaker 3/disto emulated only 4-12 "tube"
blue led (it's ugly, but it is nothing more than red)
196 euros in England. (5 year warranty)
Provided a further notice (English)

UTILIZATION

This is a métalzone!
if you like too much at first, it is pointless to pay for it
it is identical, but the components of low-end versions of "factory" is here replaced by the top!
resulting in eq, (notably the mediums) is even more efficient and accurate (no need to support each of 1 GE7), the treble a bit "synthetic" and only major flaw I found in my version the public,
have become more "nature" and the presence of low and clear!
less noise too, and really, a perfect medium management, so important in the world of metal!

SOUND QUALITY

So ruthlessly efficient for this pedal hell!
the addition of the switch is really nice and the sound changes depending on the position!
attention to that stuff put in a central position only works with a baffle 4 / 12!!
is that a pitbull with rabies and that will blow a speaker or a crappy combo!!
very people than usual, have a boost with métalzone and they say it is the métalzone after putting the mess in her!
I prefer the position "stock improved" since I was a fan of the normal Metazon before!
the change is subtle but very present, especially at high volume.
tube emulation does not serve me because my foot goes through a head lamp that warms all with happiness)

OVERALL OPINION

That's two months it replaces my old métalzone!
I am proud, and she commands respect in many detractors who proliferate lies in its promos!
they connect with decent gear before criticizing!!
sure with a stew transistor 20w speakers and rotten, it is not miracles!
I recommend this wonder who does not correct mesa but plays with good microphones and speakers!
2 solutions to acquire.
Buy a new one already changed (or England states) (196 euros)
or send to your states to make mofifier (80 euros)
Pedal a demon!

So features:
distortion pedal bin 'nag'! Just to the metal! But it really is as broad palette of sound.
1potard of volume/4potards Equalizer / 1potard gain.
With all these settings it takes time to find his sound, I still often exchange ... xD
Then it's the boss, so HYPER SOLID, you can jump in with both feet above the floor is that fart! lol
Walk with a 9V transformer, I advise CARREMENT batteries! Except if you want to change it every 2 weeks and tax ...

UTILIZATION

Ben, as I said above, it is relatively small as his, you really love ...
If you are testing in-store, stay there over 1 hour if necessary, because after it's too late!
It takes a long time to find a suitable, but once you take the ON ... let go!
Otherwise the book .... uh what is it??? purchased from OCCAZ -> no instructions but 10 minutes is good we take the corny in hand.

SOUND QUALITY

While the sound GNARK GNARK!
Well it depends on the settings, but you want the calm metal or punk you closer to the gain knob at least!
After much must set the amp and the pedal and it runs normally.
The gain in half like that's enough distortion: not (too) for air, understandable disto ...
Qualities:
- Wide range of distos
- No breath until 3 / 4 gain to about
Disadvantages:
- When one cares to gain background, it starts to blow and more thoroughly with the volume we understand nothing: GRRRGRRRFRRRGRRR ....
- Do not let go the ropes! as soon as you take the more feedback, FRRRRRRRRRRR!

OVERALL OPINION

It's been 5 months that I have (I believe), bought for € 50 OCCAZ (as I believe), she used every day or so.
For my first pedal enough for me especially widely used, I would never have bought new (€ 120 it hurts!).
Over time I would like to change it because I change my style of music, the metal fills me less and less ... I will change to a disto classic, it becomes too Bourrin!
But I will keep still between my guitar and my amp if I ever want to get a reservation as it is a great tool.
