The Boss MT-2 Metal Zone is a pedal whose reputation precedes it. Every metalhead across the land has come across this name and for good reason – these fiery gain-breathing monsters deliver some of the heaviest tones around.
With a responsive Distortion dial you can unleash waves of gain into your riffs making them sound thunderously powerful. Or you can dial it back tame it and add some light crunch and bite to your sound – perfect for rock or even blues! But youll never go short of inspiration as a metal guitarist with this monster at your feet.
Shape your sound with laser-like precision using the detailed three-band EQ. Featuring concentric controls which help to pack even more tonal shaping into a small intuitive interface youll be able to carve out your midrange and tame or boost the highs and lows. With this you can define your own distortion voicing and take it to the masses. Theres also a dual-stage gain circuit for thick tight sounds which scream with sustain. Dont listen to naysayers – this pedal sounds spectacular.

Its supported by a dual-stage gain circuit which helps to create that thick wall of sound.
