MGR/bLiStErLiP wAnNaBe « Boss MT-2 Metal Zone »
Published on 09/30/03 at 15:00HOW:- With money I assume.
WHERE:- Long and mcquade
WHY:- I wanted bone crushing distortion
PAID:- Around $130 canadian, eh.
What I like about the Boss mt-2 metal zone is that it has a very wide range of sounds you can reach. This is what I hate about other revews, they don't name bands you can play. Okay heres the deal, you CAN play pantera,slayer, metallica and Classic rock like AC/DC and Guns and roses. That is a pretty wide range so huray for that. I like the fact that it has a wide range of sound but thats about it.
Okay... number 1...If you are gonna play metal the this is deffenetly for you BUT IF you are into nu metal (like I am) then tough luck. The metal zone just falls short of reaching that Slipknot, Soulfly, System of a down, Hatebreed(sorta nu metal) and Slaves on dope sounds. Also if you live in canada (Best country on earth) thenget ready to pay not $130 but more like $250. This thing will drive you crazy with the humming/buzzing/static. I use a small 15 watt amp so thats probably the problem but once the pedal is stomped it will give you tones of backround noice. Oh ya... about that stupid comment about spending $250 thats because the other $110 will be spent on a noise suppresor. Thier are cheaper ones but lets face it, Boss noise suppresors are the best. Also (I know this has been said over and over in other reveiws) get an adapter. Sucks batterys...blah blah blah.
Bulit like a tank and all that garbage that people in the other reviews say (geez can't they think of something original?) Ya... great construction.
Okay... Good range for metal, bad for nu metal. U can still play that stuff it's just that u'll have to lower ur tuning slightly (which is why i got a distortion pedal in the end anyway, so i wouln't have 2). Now the other big thing is the fight between the digitech metal master and the metal zone, well...IF U WANNA PLAY NU METAL GO WITH THE DIGITECH, IF U WANT METAL THEN GO WITH THE METAL ZONE. IF U WANT BOTH THEN GO WITH THE MEGA DISTORTION PEDAL FROM BOSS.
You CAN make the metal zone work for nu metal but it just takes a lot more tweaking. and don't forget to buy a noise supperssor. Oh lastly. thier is a big fuss about "well the digi tech is made in china" or something like that. Well The metal zone is built in tiwan do big deal. I hope u have enjoyed my senceless babbaling...Good bye. Need any more info e-mail me. I gave it a 4 because it's good for what it says it does,metal. so i can't take marks off becuase I wanted to play a diffrent style. But it Just wans't what I was looking for.
