MGR/Gannesh « Boss MT-2 Metal Zone »
Published on 12/31/02 at 15:00I bought this used on ebay for around $60. I needed a much better distortion pedal than the one I had, and I heard good things about it, so I took a gamble and just went ahead and bought it.
Wow. Everyone was right about this that told me it was awsome. It has a 4 band EQ which is more than most pedals, esp. in this price range. Loads of distortion! Very versatile - I could get a light warm bluesy sound, to a new metalist's dream, to a total shred. Not easily hurt either. It is very simple and easy to use.
When I first got this, I was amazed. I thought it could do anything. But after a long time of use, the bass sounded like crap, and the volume was cutting out. Of course, that's probably just b/c I don't know how much it was used before I bought it... But other than the fact that it didn't last forever... it's great (I suppose I could get it fixed...).
This is made by Boss, and they make their pedals tough. I bet you could drive over it with your car and it would work just like it did before you decided to do something so stupid. Actually, I was thinking about throwing out my window to prove how tough it is. I bet my friends with thier crappy Digitech stuff wouldn't ever try that...
Bottom line is: If you are looking for a better distortion than what you got, give this a try. It should give you everything you need and a little more. No wonder so many people use this pedal (I heard some now famous bands used to use this back in the day... well, I perform and it's good enough for me though.) Great Pedal.
