Boss MT-2 Metal Zone
charcuto charcuto
Published on 04/24/08 at 06:34
Analog distortion pedal, works with a 9V battery or a transformer, classic. Metal case of very good quality, it seems very difficult to damage it.
One volume knob, 4 knobs of equations, and one for the gain.
In short, it looks good.

UTILIZATION

At the equator, it is not necessarily easy to navigate at first. But it's coming soon. The knobs are very effective. The volume of output can therefore be boosted through the level.

Nevertheless remains a sacred default: Whatever we do, or nasal sound is great, is the basses are overboostées in attack. In short, virtually no ability to have a balanced sound.

SOUND QUALITY

If you are a guitar recently and you listen to metal, you will find this pedal great. At one time we all had one! And the months passed, it is clear that it still has as its super synthetic, that is the low hum all the time or the sound is loud as possible. In short, it's flattering to her room on a rotten amp, but again, bah ... Either the sound is too dug and we get it, or it has no more potatoes. Once you've experienced the distortion of a tube amp, you will forget your metal zone as dry.

In short, to book lovers of synthetic sounds that are "squeaking" or "Brouh-Brouh".

OVERALL OPINION

It is impossible to get a "big" sound with a metal zone. I owned a guitar when I started to, I sold after I paid for my tube amp. I bought one on a flea market (€ 20) for fun, I plugged in, and "my god what shit" were my first words. At that price, it's theft: it is very easy to find better for less. I do not understand the popularity of this pedal. We had all realized it was rotten 10 years ago!

It is still possible to draw some overdriven sounds drinking, but if it's for a quarter of the possibilities of DS2, as buying it, to be more sound much warmer, much less synthetic.

In short, I recommend the black metal guitarists, who found a great pedal for the style. To others, I strongly recommend to try something else before slamming € 90 (!!!) it.

I'm going to keep mine, because having a Metal Zone is a bit like having a beer glass Koenigsbier ...
