THE ML-2 METAL CORE IS... BOSS IN "BEAST MODE!!!" Hands down my favorite "Metal" Distortion pedal by Boss. They got everything right on this one. Deep thundering distortion that's up in your face. It's a very modern sound that's very defined yet clean enough to enjoy. I'm probably one of just a few who happen to own every distortion and medal pedal made by Boss. Each were designed for specific tones in the search for that perfect sound. While some are lacking to be honest numerous are very good. The ML-2 "Metalcore" is great. If you like the MT-2 "Metal Zone", you'll love this Beast! It's the sound I always wanted but couldn't quite dial in. If you're into Hard & Heavy hitting metal music, it's certainly worth checking out. I like it so much I own 3 to have on all my pedal boards. It'll be the pedal everyone looks back on to purchase years from now when they're discontinued. Read full review

You can get every pedal in the world and BOSS is just going to tear them up and be the ones you want to go back to. The BOSS ml-2 is simply that distortion pedal you are looking for to carry you over the top in sustaining notes feeling like you're playing on butter, yet ripping that growling crunching chug you want to push thru the mix. Try using it also with a overdrive pedal and turning the ml2 distortion level down to about 7.5. Then use the overdrive to kick it back in for your leads. It truly out does the metal zone even thru the effects loop as I run the mt-2. Buy this bad boy! You will not regret it!

You can set this to play friendly even in front of an overdriven amp. You can run into clean and get an amazing metal tone, then switch to overdriven, and get a mid-boost smooth sustaining tone. I love this pedal.

Great pedal it pretty much sounds good on all amplifiers I have tried it on including some really bad amps that I deliberately tested it on to see how far I can push it I uploaded a video called testing the metal episode 5 which is on youtube showing what it can do

The Heaviest and crunchiest Boss pedal. If you play heavy music you should give the Metal Core a shot. It's on my board now and not it's going anywhere any time soon.
