MGR/Elwyn Thompson III « Boss MT-2 Metal Zone »
Published on 06/11/03 at 15:00Before I got the MT-2 I had an Ibanez Smash Box. I was really getting tired of the bland sound and I needed something with seathing distortion. I'm in to the metalcore/hardcore scene and I noticed everyone was getting some terrific distortion off this piece of equipment. I went to Jackson's Music store in Winston-Salem, NC and bought one for about $95.00.
I absolutely love this pedal. I've tried so many and this is the toughest little thing with such great quality distortion. I've had it for a year now and I've begun to play regular metal and it seems like it can play any genre of rock. There are plenty of settings on this pedal for it to conform to any type of metal. The diagram that comes in the box gives you settings for different genres of rock from hardcore to soft rock!
As with any distortion pedal there is hum, and a little feedback (not bad at all) in the background when playing. I took care of that completely with a Boss Noise Suppressor (NS-2), which is also a great buy.
I have dropped this pedal on the road, friends have stepped on it, a table fell on it, and it still works perfectly. The quality of sound still remains and it has a 2 year warranty. The Smash Box couldn't withstand that much of a beating.
Man, the only distortion pedal that can overpower this one would be an MT-3, if they ever make one. This is a must have for all you metal and rock fans that are looking for seathing distortion that can hold its tone.
