All user reviews for the Boss MT-2 Metal Zone

This is THE PDAL of references for mtalleux. Sound vintage, years 70/80 at nomtal the heaviest, it is versatile trs (in his field of course), with the quality of solidity and reliability BOSS. An absolute must for any budding mtalleux (and some others too)

UTILIZATION

It engages in push / pull. The reliability is at the meeting: it's solid. No less than 6 wheels adjustable to optimize your own sound. Possibility of using a conventional adapter (no stamp forcment ROLAND / BOSS) or a rectangular cell. Heavy duty jacks: it is the weight bbte!

SOUND QUALITY

Bin is the BOSS, arsume all. A true bypass really works, no breath, rglages complete. That happiness. The most from the concurrency? Sustain infiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii (depending on your guitar of course ...)

OVERALL OPINION

If all goods and musical instruments could be as strong, useful and effective than the small effect pedals, bin it would be pure bliss. Jl gard for many years and have never found better in terms of distortion, if not the o day I invested in my mesa recto. However, costs 100 euros pedals ... The mesa, multiply by 20 to have only the head amp ...

a +

Overdrive metal as the name implies ... supposedly versatile!

UTILIZATION

Good knob are hyper sensitive and therefore should be treated with levity, but it gives a good range of sound!

SOUND QUALITY

Used with a Start and Highway turbo tube screamer

OVERALL OPINION

Bah good as any first comment I found in fact not bad at all at first but I'm starting to get tired serieusemen! Further in the description it is marked "enormous saturation with a minimum of breath" Well then not at all not at all agree! The blast took the lead, and the lack of heat .. heureusemen the tube screamer add this heat!
We can say but impossible to do with blues or rock or it must be coupled with the saturation of an amplifier and eventually we arrive at something .. if you're not afraid of breath ....
In short I am going to sell it and take something else ... now everything is relative and I think this pedal is to try several amps! But though arive, digital coming out of the AC lamp is not used much in my opinion .. finally!

PDAL saturation mtal (yes ...)
200% numrique
Level, equalizer (2), disto
I put average rating for design at Boss,
must renew the guys l.

UTILIZATION

Trs functional and also quite simple.

SOUND QUALITY

I'm not a fan but when the same mtal. The problem is really the sound that is purely cold and numrique. Lack of personality. If you want to sound like everyone else, achte a mt-2.
Equaliser, however, trs powerful and effective.
This is a real disaster, it's fun to beginners but you makes you faster shit.
You take no pleasure (in my case) the play above.
It's a format that is sorely lacking warmth.

OVERALL OPINION

Mr. Boss, review your copy. Arrtez the pedals with rglages full of complications (see gadget) and faitent of pedals that really usable sounds, warm and a possdant tural personality.

Features ... bah one level to the output level, a équalizeur (high, low, middle and mid freq) and a level of distortion. Everything is more than adequate and more comprehensive than most distortion pedals.

UTILIZATION

The use of this pedal requires a little time to adapt and ear. I find it very specific setting, it is certainly what makes some of like it, it takes a minimum of patience to find his sound.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound quality depends on a lot of things. On the one hand of the adjustments made and then the guitar and amp that branch above. Contrary to what some say, it is not cold, it passes above the quality of the guitar and the amp can be seen that it is bad will not folichon. For my part I use either a Fender 75 '22 what is a prs a jcm 800 or + mesa 50 caliber, and I must say I am thrilled and this pedal gives me satisfaction. I play punk, heavy rock, sometimes metal, and feels at ease in all registers rock!

OVERALL OPINION

In conclusion, I use it for more than four years in all my concerts, it never made me a dirty blow, given the sound tjrs I asked him, and I do that makes it 9 because although Always there is more! But I give it a super value for money. In addition to info, who starts and who are not too many tunes, I advise you to buy OCCAZ and plug in a Valvestate, it gives a very good, very compressed course, but very accurate! This voilou

BOSS pedals

UTILIZATION

Using ultra simple, just press.
For rglage it takes a little time but once found you touch anything and go.

SOUND QUALITY

For those looking for a good distortion pedals of the mtal is served.
I use a Start with EMG team grants in drop C and it gniale: SOAD, Metallica, Manson ...
And also with an Epiphone Tony Iommi. With good rglage: Offspring, Blink 182

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 years I always play it.
I intend soon acqurir a POD but I do not spare my pedals so far.
I buy some CHRE: 150 j'tais young ...
It can have occas facillement by now.

Distortion typical metal but rather an extraordinary precision in many knobs for distortion and overdrive. IMPRESSIVE
JJE think it's not analog, but chui ...
1 input 1 output
A power supply jack (or 9V)

UTILIZATION

Editing sounds simple, because even if the beaches are rglages trs found extensive sound you're looking pretty fast.
clear manual with different types on offer rglages

SOUND QUALITY

APRs have tried different distortion ac my guitar (SH8 Invader in bridge) and a classic 30
I tap on a power chord c'tait the rvlation! sound standard typ mtal but a good precision and everything you need to power with good bass and trs mdium, normal given the microphone and pulling that I use. .. but the pedals is really something to see cells that I had tried before ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months
sound and its standards are really rglages
as mentioned above + I tried several other pedals, but nothing to do the ac l!
report for pedals qualitprix pretty solid rpute although the price is still too expensive for me but the c'tait love at first sight!
I would do the selection as it takes!

Simple effect pedal distortion typical Heavy Metal
Nan is not digital, and it is 100% pure transo
Input and Output by jack
4 Gain and Volume knobs which
Medium settings, Treble, Bass ...
Main power supply or 9V battery (it seems I have not checked)

UTILIZATION

Difficult to have a sound that fits perfectly with this mess in the knobs, it's boring and long to resolve. The sound is still as "fuzz" and too full of acute (heavy enthusiasts will love), but it is still nice (haaa potatoes anyway) and not drool too much ...
I bought used so I have no manual adjustment provided but just search yourself, or for those who are sick are going to download the manual on the site of Boss.

SOUND QUALITY

Haaaaaaa the essential point: the sound

Okay so now, not put the really crappy stuff behind the pedal. A test on a tube amp. I used a casserole Marshall Valvestate 8080 and its disgusting fuzz coming out and is already becoming more precise and clear on my Hughes & Kettner, but it is not phenomenal either eh ..
Already have good sound, must have the right settings (ouch) ... so you should check the frequency settings on your amp and find those who agree on the pedal. After several months of use, I found the settings that suited me just about on my Marshall, but the sound remains tjs as mediocre and bland.
You can have a multitude of distortion, both crunchy (with the knob of level), that fat that makes the ground shake. The sound is pretty vague.
This pedal is not for rockers.
on the other hand, nothing to do with Digitech The Weapon is really a killer! (Even on an amp transo)

OVERALL OPINION

It's been a long time now I have this pedal.
Its full of sharp, it's loud, it's fuzzy, and it's annoying to get to get a good sound.
I never buy it for 120 €, that's for sure!

Big analog distortion effect
5 control knobs: level and distortion, plus low, mid and mid frequency

UTILIZATION

Not easy with 2 MT!
Then even with patience, we come not to find the right sound (not metal like the sound full of parasites acute, a fuzz that excitement).
I sold it quickly because the main effect of this pedal was to get upset.
I know people say it's a good pedal, I, frankly, I like it.
In addition it is expensive, e m. ..

SOUND QUALITY

I played one time with the Disto 5
Low 10
Mid 5
Mid freq 3 or better at all
Level 2 or 3
This pedal, in fact, a big distortion, but the general default is that in technical means palm-mute the noise instead of a decision of the (shredding).

OVERALL OPINION

I used two months this famous pedal.
Expensive, time consuming in setting, at the end have overcome its shortcomings with two to three other pedals. I reffer no choice. My question obsessive: Would it have been better to buy a 2 MT manufactures in Japan? Made in China because it is the e m. ..

The effect: distortion.
Case mtallique usual Boss pedals from home. Simple and sober. Robust.
Conventional power supply: 9 V battery or AC adapter.
Four knobs. RULES The first output level. The quatrime the distortion.
I will focus on two central knobs, the DDIS legalization. Both knobs are two floors. The first knob allows a graphical legalization bass and treble. The second is more complicated: it is a qualizer parmtrique with which one chooses first a frquence mdium (mid freq) and then in rgler level (mid). Warning, this is not a four-band equalizer!

UTILIZATION

At first glance, the rgalge potentiomtres of disturbed me ... Especially since I have learned that the operation of the second rcemment knob legalization of ... Until the I did not use it. But once we know, was in motion.

SOUND QUALITY

This is one of distortion pedals, and it is called Metal Zone ... It is intended a priori to be a fan of metal and serves the purpose. She has a big sound. The glisation trs fine mdium can dig the well as it should to get the Metallica sound, or another depending on what is research. However, catalog the Metal Zone is a mistake I think, a friend of mine uses it in a rock context (M, Louis Bertignac ,...) and done wonders with ...
Remains whether the dish. Each brand has a particular grain. Boss does not look distorted imitation lamp. When we know there is not likely to be wrong. Personally, I Boss's flat (Vai Satriani), but that's not what I'm looking all the time ... So I put 8.

OVERALL OPINION

I'm really Mtal and I have in my possession a DS 2 (my very Premire pedals, I will keep ad vitaem eternam). Which leads me Sparer me: I dj sound Boss, this is so duplicate.
Regarding the price quality ratio, I find it is honnte.
I would recommend this particulirement PDAL guitarist looking for a distortion and wants an effective legalization prcise. The MT 2 is two in a faster connect and distortion + qualo which is always out of breath and other noise-specific pedals the chain. It can also overcome the shortcomings of the legalization of some amps.

All dja been said I think ^ ^

UTILIZATION

Good galley is to find THE SOUND but once you hold it you keep it for life, swore lol
seriously have to be patient in life, things come to those who wait (translation seeks an hour or two and you will dégouter all your buddies with your metal zone ^ ^)

SOUND QUALITY

So here to answer all the advice already given to stop criticizing, she call'd metal zone c not for nothing, so its heavy metal, huge distortion, ca pulse, etc ...
if you want to play the blues or pop rock on foot is not a metal zone called, must stop there ...
Then in terms of its "cool, well I think it's a style of his that we should not reject, is not that the hot lights in life. Cahcun his thing. METAL For the c better (unless you have a MESA, let's face it lol)

OVERALL OPINION

I ale a year and I am well, the advantage is that I have tried on many amps and little variation closely with the same setting was the same sound, the amp does not play not a big role. (tried it on and WARP7 MG100fx Marschall and a peavey forgot the model, also 100 watts)
As for the "poor" (like me) who play on chti amps (watts Marchall ...) as well say that even when AC pulse and it's really excellent, nothing to do with the crummy original saturation of the c excellent amp and there, for I confess against jlai purchased new and it's been expensive .. but after jle said jpeut do without it and without it the sound of my amp would have made me stop the guitar ... here

Boss distortion pedals, with legalization three bands: low, high, mid (type paramtrique to mid), and a level knob and another disto.
The pedals are solid trs (what the Boss!).
Works with a 9V battery or AC adapter Boss (unfortunately expensive). I tried with other adapters, but each time it blows.

I put 9 because of the adapter

UTILIZATION

The manual offers rglages nice, but to find the IDAL, to look for a good time. But when it was, what is it booooooooo.

SOUND QUALITY

With the pedals, it was not the sound of an "all-tube amp", but its a "transistor" Love it or like it at tout.On can have a good range of sounds ranging from trsmtal the big distortion, overdrive, fuzz through a totally disgusting.
But it is not made for the big mtal, can be drawn from rock sounds (like Status Quo) and even rock n 'roll of Chuck Berry's looking good. Finally, if you only play rock / blues pedals this is not for you.
The pedals can be drawn from mdiums trs fine, which I love!

OVERALL OPINION

In dpart, I wanted to buy a DS-1 (Boss), but when I tried the MT-2 I immediately changed my mind.
I use it for one month, and I would do without this choice hsiter.

This is the story of my life this pedal
Now I no longer used, but hey ..
Characteristic distortion pedal very distortion equalizer with a V-dedicated to the metal

UTILIZATION

Ben is a pedal, which is easier to use, unless it was bad back then, or big fingers because the knobs were doubled to be able to put 6 to 4 places

SOUND QUALITY

It's really good for metal when you start.
Metal sound is there, dug well!
At first, we can then run a find and it does not touch anything.
Then over time it gets tired can a nasal sound, but there is nothing comparable to market prices while we continue to make the metal.
Finally the sound really makes you throw up and stop as the metal for good sound you would have the right stuff and it's super expensive (mes, engl, 5150, randall) In addition to this stuff does not sound that rips if we do not play like a star. So if it's to let off steam I think the MT2 is the right thing.

OVERALL OPINION

Looking back at the time I bavais on the stuff of dreams penniless and with no real talent. Yet I was playing metal. I think it's the best that ever happened to me because in fact the metal is still a super good school for technology and I'd spent a spoiled child if I had the stuff to fire at the time.
I do not regret that choice! I'm more metal, not because the public is ill at ease and buttons, not because I think this is just noise, not because I think the singer screams, but because I ' came to appreciate more what I was doing, it's still music to gifted artists (I'm not)

The effect is a distortion numrique classical input and output jack.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is based on a volume knob a distortion of sound and four knobs. The simple configuration parat beginners (the standard very easy) but to get a real rglages its clean, clear and powerful are not so empty. I think it was worth the long search for it. Thanks to the four knobs of sound, the rglages prcis can be and give a wide enough complte type of distortion.

SOUND QUALITY

Even with a single coil guitar low end and a 10 watt amp, I got a distortion and a powerful sound more correct. The metalzone can provide the power you need. However, its ct dirty metal styles the only feature more or less extreme (death metal, thrash, heavy ...) or large rock (grunge. ..). Sounds obtained by low distortion (similar to the overdrive) are pretty ugly. You will need a lot of time as before to find a clear and prcis, just as prcis. But I think it was worth it.

OVERALL OPINION

I use the pedals for 4 years and I'm happy. His sound quickly becomes dirty Gnant but can you work the rglages, we arrive to get a clear powerful sound and sharp. If you make the big metal, I think the pedals will make you happy. I tried other distortion level and I admit that raw power, it is quite exceptional for the price.

I would do without this choice hsiter well after a few years, you start feeling the limits.

Analogue distortion pedals of the metal, with a qualiseur 4 bands (High, Low, Middle, Mid Freq).
1 Level knob + knob a Disto.
Powered by 9 volt battery or AC adapter Boss (by options).

I put 9 to salute the quality of boss pedals that I have never dcu on this point.

UTILIZATION

Classic, very simple ... you will have a lot of time or years to find your sound, but it is possible
rooooh damn us alone with your hand ... ca is part of the pleasure of discovering the instrument itself is not it?

SOUND QUALITY

The distos available are varied, you can spend big dirty punk much at nomtal very low, the alternative is possible, old school metal, grindcore, in 9 years in group I of the zik 've seen used in bcp bcp styles.

It's pretty simple to get closer to his desire but you have to spend time on it. Personal I was looking for a powerful sound but also mlodique the Deftones and got satisfaction for 3 / 4 years. Anyway I do not care that I had not told them its course ... but my riffs sounded the same, is the principal?

Well now it's clear that it remains very rough. It is obvious that compared to a distortion amp lamps, mt2, bah Cracra it.
Of course it's not the top! But who said that a cheap boss pedals would give you the top of the disto!
December dfend without it though the small, but its capabilities, it's ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have a love for the boss because I've used for years in groups to try to have a correct distortion .. the era, I swore by it. Despite the criticism of people around me and I persist my sound really became silent right after a few years.
It distorsionne you a tree trunk, it is clear, but in hindsight this did not PDAL middle of efficient and precision for the prsence and roundness of sound, need to go back ... this draft, draft trs ...

To play Repeat 'or in small concerts, it goes ... same level is well over qualitprix trs.

But on a big scne, its weaknesses are glaring ... I got several rooms by sound ings on this point ...

When the SETTING THE pedals and what amp you used and even heads of amps (let's be crazy ) are properly adjusted so it goes!
All modeled after me nothing can make the weight level of distortion pedals (even a lamp) compared to a distortion of natural amp (j uses the distortion of a head engl screamer from 50).

In case you read this and you'll pay a hsites the pedals:

If you do not have the means to pay you an amp lamps, and you are looking for something that makes the matter much further along in making you happy, take it.
It will always dtracteurs but it gnralement types that are more close to the one mental tuning than music ...
Of course, this is not the top, and there are better, but you can really trust him ...
And when thou shalt be made by hand with the pedals, if you have the opportunity to spend on a tube amp so it is that you really appreciate it ... Note that even with the standard stuff behind, groups like Placebo, Muse and Radiohead uses it to give a boost to their distortion.

D in personal and I do have 2 m is more ... but I do not refourguer ...

They mritent to go to the paradise of the pedals in my closet at the bottom right.
