MGR/contumaciousarbiter « Boss MT-2 Metal Zone »
Published on 11/09/03 at 15:00Bought from Guitar Center Houston. Paid $90.00.
Very adaptable to different types of metal.
Hard to get that Nu-Metal sound. The closest to a Korn sound I can get is to do the following:
1. Set the level about half way.
2. on the equalizer, 1st set of knobs, set the bottom knob all the way up and the top knob to half and on the second set the bottom to about 2/3 and the top to 1/2. I set the distortion knob to 2/3.
3. Don't turn your pickup volume up too high. I set it at about 1/4 turn and let my amp take care of the rest. This produces the "crunch" and also masks fingering mistakes!
4. Get a 7-string. You won't get that bottom-end no matter how far you detune a 6-string.
sturdy unit.
Good unit, but I'm more interested in finding an amp that has the right distortion built in for Nu-Metal. From what I understand, if you can't afford a mesa boogie road king (what korn used on new album with marshall 1960a cabs), then the Crate GLX1200H would be close for the sound on a budget.
