The BOSS MT-2 Metal Zone distortion pedal is one of Sweetwater's most popular pedals - with good reason! Its unique dual-gain circuitry provides you with distortion tones that sound positively huge. You get insane levels of saturation, super-long sustain, and heavy mids and lows that are reminiscent of a stack of overdriven amps. On top of that, its 3-band EQ with semi-parametric midrange control delivers plenty of tone-shaping options, giving you command over a wide range of over-the-top distortion textures. Make no mistake - if you're a hard rock or metal guitarist, then the BOSS MT-2 Metal Zone distortion pedal should be an integral part of your tonal assault.

Coupled for different tones.
I play Chaotic Black Metal, but my taste if very refined, i need a guitar which coupled with its pickups its very bright and clear on its highs respecting it's lows, aswell as a pedal that can manage an immense wall of distortion without loosing clearness on the highs, i got it better with my Death Metal Analog Distortion but that's for my leading tone.. I usualy couple the MT2 before a Metal Muff with top boost and finally with the DDM pedal and get a truely original tone for a saturated and maybe harsh blackmetal style, it can go dirty, nasal, earbreaking, so as a single pedal i would use another like the Deviltail Deathtortion, Toneczar Openhaus, Railhead TUA, or Okko Dominator, but for a tone boost can be very useful, i need different sound for my other band so i use the pedal combinations. It's very versatile, i cannot say its just for metal because everyone has it's genre in his fingertips, not in the pedal tone, but it's distortion its great and i have also the Sustania Trigain Metal Zone and it's a musthave for my combinations.. yells emotion.Read full review

Good product, specific application.
I bought this pedal because I liked the midrange control, and wanted to mod it. These are not expensive second hand, so it is low budget fun. It is also to note that Cannibal Corpse uses these modded as a front-of-amp-booster. I also bought the Fromel mod from ebay, and changed a resistor to lower the gain(seems to tighten the distortion up). My only complaint is it is not true bypass, but depending on the setup, I'm glad a buffer is in the factory unit. This pedal compares well with other pedals once modded, very similar to alot of boutique pedals at 1/3 of the price. If a mid-boosted metal sound is what you are after, then this is a good pedal to start with. If you are DIY inclined, this is a great inexpensive project that yields excellent results. I use it for a Michael Schenker-type tone, like a parked wah sound but with some high and low end eq'ing.Read full review

Heavy sound, Versatile tone with great sustain!
The built in Eq drag my attention and as its a feature not had in my previous dist pedals, I gave it a go.I'm playing it mostly with my Jackson dk2 on a clean all tube amp.Big plus? The pots are very sensitive and make tons of different sounds, thick and sustainy, great deal if you 're looking for heavy, Metallica-type distortion. I won't give it a 5/5 though cause in my ears distortion seems to have a certain "character" - best way I can describe it - it sounds a bit compressed over the top and I would prefer it a little more "plain". Overall its a good pedal,classic Boss diehard all metal box, the best I have tied so far for heavy distortion sounds and I would definitely buy it again if it got stolen or broken.

Amazing product!!
As an amateur guitar player, this pedal has done me wonders since purchased! The multi-functioning sounds of available distortion, customized by you with a turn of the dial really sends shivers down your spine!! For such an unbeatable price you can find no where else, it truly is spectacular! Shipping was simple, unbelievably fast, and I had it at my door within a couple days of the purchase date! The money you save compared to a retail store is nothing short of a miracle, as well as including a power chord AND a fully charged 9v battery! If you're a rock-hard metal head, or just someone looking to gain a little more distortion as I had, this pedal is DEFINITELY for you, no questions asked! I love it every second I plug it in! Simply an amazing product, sold by such a wonderful company!!

Awesome rock/metal sound for cheap price, well worth the money!
This pedal offers a great range of distortion sound. I can get the sound of nearly any band I could ever want to. While the sound is good, it's not a tube amp. There is no substitute for a tube amplifier. But this comes pretty close. Only complaints: This pedal has a good amount of distortion, but if you're looking for super high gain, you might want a bit more. I've learned to compensate and simply play with better technique :P I had the tendency to get lazy with my other amplifier since the gain was so high.
