made in the 90's and still in production. its funny I always wanted one when I was a kid. now that I got $ dont have one yet but I will buy one soon on CL for $30 he he he.
I've had this pedal 5 years...without doubt the best distorion pedal around. It even beats programmed distorion in Line 6 amps and equivalent brands. See my videos for recordings of songs where all the gear is like so:
Guitar-->Metal Zone-->Amp (on clean)-->Microphone (Shure SM-57).
I played multiple genres rock/blues/metal and theres both cleans and heavy distortion.
@kingmonster12 Metalzone. This pedal is more reliable. the lows kinda fell off on my metalcore which sucks because i play 7 string -_- so i got this and its better. but it depends on the kind of sound your trying to acheive
@ILoveallguitars i got Boss Metal Zone & Metal Core.. i recon Metal Core its way better than Metal Zone. especially in Dropp Tuning & 7 string guitar.. they both perfect pedal Love it so much! no wonder its #1 pedal in the world... just bought my Metal Core this Morning. cuz my metalzone is broken.... & when i started to use it jeeezz..... it blows my fucking ear drum!... im not gonna buy metalzone anymore im gonna stick to METAL CORE!
@GlenGrunge .... this comment has aided in a decision that I have been trying to make for the past 2 hours; I have a 7-sting, currently tuned to Drop A, and I was thinking to either get the Metal Zone/Metal Core pedal.
@MyBandNameWasTaken well i must say %100 sure BOSS METAL CORE its all u need mate! its a perfect pedal to all the Dropp Tuning player! thats why they name it to metalcore! cuz its very simple. metalcore songs mostly its in the Dropp Tune! DIGETECH DEATH METAL is awesome too! u can hear the sound of pedal here in youtube! just type it, or go to BOSSchannel. or Digetechchannel!
@GlenGrunge .... I've played with a Digitech Death Metal, and I didn't like it too much: Too much fuzz, not enough chug, but that's just me. I like to hear a deep "punch you in the balls" sound and crisp high tones...
@MyBandNameWasTaken what amp did u use? im using Mg 15 DFX Marshall its only for practice amp. maybe u just need to adjust the CONTOUR, TREBLE & BASS of your amp... and when u done that oh men. Awesome Metal Sound!
@RedSandwich. I like the pedal. Has a nice crunch to it if you get the right settings and have a decent amp. Don't listen to the downers though. The Boss Metal Core pedal is a great metal pedal I think.
I use these quick settings for a solid practice tone on simple SS combo amps:
MZ pedal:
Level: noon
Bass, treble, mid, mid-frequency: 2 o'clock (all of them)
Dist: 1 o'clock
Amp:
Bass & treble: 3 o'clock
Mids: 11 o'clock
Basically, on the MZ pedal you boost (emphasize) the mids at the specific peak frequency, and on the amp you scoop them out a bit (peak frequency depends on the amp).
If you have a cheap solid-state practice amp and some distortion pedal like this one, there is no way of getting really close to that modern, fat, compressed, rectified hi-gain metal sound. Most beginners are not aware of that. So we often see inexperienced people saying that distortion pedals are useless crap, because they can't produce the metal dream-tone. It's funny, because with little tweaking, a beginner can make a solid practice tone.
MT-2 is a pretty good distortion pedal. Period. You just have to know how to use it properly. There are two things needed for this: patience and some basic knowledge about guitars and equipment. Two of my friends have had this pedal for years, yet they didn't know how to find the nice metal sound they want. One of them borrowed his MT-2 to me. It took me only about 20 minutes to find a good tone. When I set up his MT-2 and amp, he was really surprised with the rich and powerful tone.
@airsoftQ You just have to set it up right. I have got it and a friend of me has it, too and we both have a good brutal sound with the MT-2. It took me almost an hour to get the right settings but now I'm complete satisfied^^
I used the Metal Zone for a year until I decided to switch to my amp distortion and throw an overdrive pedal in front to boost the gain and volume, for the time I used I think it kicks ass if you have just the right settings.
i have never used an pedal before but have been guitar for 4 years do you recomand any distortion pedals that are really good for 90s and modern day rock/metal
I used to love this pedal a long time ago (does work good on starter amps), but now I really hate this pedal. It is always a compromise between articulation and crunch and there is a wishy-washy/nasally sound that is always lurking. It had its run as the top distortion pedal for a while (compared to other brands that were just awful, digitech, DOD,etc.), but I always seem to fall back on amp distortion.
@kiznert I couldn't agree with you more. Same exact scenario, I have a Digitech processor ("sound bank") pedal. And it doesn't compare to the LINE 6 amp head.
i love and hate this pedal, ....i love it when people know how to set it, and i hate the pedal when everyone does the same setting on it,..MIDS = 0 LOWS = 10 HIGHS = 8 DISTORTION = 10
@ShimmySystem It only sucks dick if you cant set it up properly. I've seen thirty peple spend half an hour with one and say it sucks. I spent 2 hours tweaking and now it sounds FUCKING BRUTAL!
@TheSchafer78 You also need to make different setups for soloing and for riffing. I noticed how on this pedal you can't make those compromises. Can sound really terrible and really good, depends on settings.
@TheSchafer78 I didn't spend a lot of time on one I found at a music store and I found a sound I liked on it. You pretty much have to know what everything on the pedal does. Otherwise you're not gonna get anything from it.
i have the pedal for 3 years now first i thought it was good , and i can set it up very well so it sounds great AT LOW VOLUME
cause i giged with it or at least tried and it's fucking crap the feedback blew my ears off! and when the gain isn't maxed it fuzzes too much. this is not a quality pedal it has too many gain to hanndle on itself. stop trying to justify this pedal you noobs only play on volume 2 or 3 or just have bad taste.
@alexAENESIDEManders I dont own any line6 products. I have a Peavey TNT150 Bass amp (now discontinued), Ive used My MT-2 through shitty amps and high end tube amps. It sounds great. It depends on your settings tho, Anything sounds like shit with too much or too little of something.
i'm sorry but there are only a few settings on this pedal that make it sound a bit ok.
really gig with it once or TRY, it will produce so much feedback that your audience will instantly die.
allso any other setting sounds quite fuzzy and sloppy. not to mention it completely changes the sound and removes all autenticity.so yes if you like characterless, sloppy fuzzy, not tight, feedback producing,you might like this pedal very much. i respect all opinions though.
and to finish off what i couldn't put in my last message.
i respect all opinions, but this allmost isn't a question of opinion anymore, MODDED this pedal is good! but unmodded this pedal is noise, sloppy chaotic noise. and i swear try once to gig with it and you will want to throw it far far faaaar away.
@dark666shredder high: about 3 o clock Bass: about 2 o clock mid: freq: a bit above 1 third the way up and the amount of mids is at about 10:30. but this pedal is very sensitive to amp choice. My amp is acctually an old bass amp. The thing with the mt-2 is what frequency u set the mid knob to boost or cut. that is the key. fuck that up and youll sound like shit. dont go and scoop out all the mids. The mids are actually important. They are the CORE of your sound. only scoop a little.
@ANDRELAMBERT007 I can give you my settings, but how this pedal sounds and how you need to set it really depends on your amp, guitar and playing technique and the sound your going after. my settings are a s follows:
@ANDRELAMBERT007 Dont, just dont. Boss multi fx suck. Ive used em. DONT get multi fx if you treasure actually sounding good. Get that out of your head. Save up more cash and get an amp. A good one, like a mesa boogie, or a peavey 6505, or a diezel, or DAR, or Bogner, or Krank, or Engl. Just dont get multi fx. Think of it this way, the more you cram into that small "dish" the less room you have for the quality "sauce" you put on to make it taste good.
@TheSchafer78 I just have one pedal right now, hahahaha, the boss metalzone, LOL, im thinking in buying the boss me70 or a line6 hd300 .....theyre good, Ive hears lots of reviews and demos , right now i dont have money for a good amp, but when i have, i will buy a mesa boogie dual rectifier certainly ;D
Respond to this video... 1 ammendment. There are only 2 multi fx ive used that dont blow cocks. Axe FX and the Eleven Rack. Buy one of those if your set on multi fx.
@ANDRELAMBERT007 No, in a while you'll regret buying multiFx. If you have 2 or 3 style you mainly play get a nice amp and stick with that. Its gonna get you farther and sound better. The only reason Id have anyone get multi fx is if they play a billion different genre's on a regular basis. With my half stack (just a standard amp and no pedals) I can play punk, blues, jazz, rock, metal, pop, hardcore and some other stuff) it just takes some time to get to know your gear, thats all it takes.
@TheSchafer78 a normal pedal in my country its very expensive, I paid 210$ in the metalzone.. but the boss me-70 and the line6 pod hd300 are about $318, so I think its a good price, right ?
@SIGN666 So you need 3 pedals to get 1 good sound? Honestly, the Metal Zone is pretty crappy. I got one when they first came out years ago. Yeah, they've got gain but the EQ on them has this annoying nasally sound. You're better off with using a Boss Super OD to boost an amp's front end.
If you want to get some awesome tone out of this pedal, dial the level to 12 o'clock, low: 2 o'clock, middle: 9 o'clock, mid freq: 11 o'clock high: 3 o'clock, distortion: 5 o'clock.
As I stated in the World Music Supply video about this pedal is that you MUST modify it to get it to sound good. Sad, but true. Then you need a good amp and closed back speaker cabinet (8 ohms or more) to get the pure essence of this modified pedal. Modified, this pedal moves the air. This was the first time I ever experienced something like this and was completely blown away! By the way, Keely Electronics modified my pedal, and they told me what to do to get the most from this pedal. Call them.
why do people recomend this for death metal? its actualy for old school metal and some modern stuff lol. if you want death metal you could use the ml2 with the high knob and distortion up
alright for bedroom practice, but useless in a live or recording setting, try a noise gate and a tubescreamer in front of a good distortion channel, with plenty of mids rather than a tinny scooped tone.
Ok I really need someone to help me! I just got the boss mt 2 metal zone today and the amp I currently have is a 15 watt line 6 spider 3. And idk the sound sounded a little well bad. My amp was making strange noises behind the distortion. And my question is... Is it my pedal or my amp that's the problem!!!!?!???!
@fritosofdoritos metal distortion pedals sound like shit if you put them in most small amps. For example, I had the Randall Kirk Hammet Signature 15 Watt, and I used the Metal Muff with it... The sound was so terrible I gave it to other people for free. Then I bought the Vox DA20 amp and add the pedal and it gives me the tone you find in youtube review videos. So I would say it's your amp. Metal distortion works best with warm, clean amp. Twangy clean amp will ruin your distortion.
Ok, this is one of the sickest pedals around. I've been playing guitar for almost 20 years and this is what I use. It has a crazy range, a full spectrum of almost every Heavy Metal sound that you want. The value is unbelievable. Get yourself one for your arsenal. Hands down one of the best tools that you can buy. Made by one of the best names in ROCK.... BOSS...
@SIGN666 ..., blah, blah, blah. If you need that much shit to make this pedal sound good to you, you're using the wrong fucking pedal. I've forgotten more about shaping tone than you'll ever know. Go play a Creed song.
I like the settings with low and high all the way up, low mids about 3/4 up and high mids about halfway up, distortion all the way up and level as high as it'll go without feedback ;D
I don't like this pedal. Bought one last year and sound like a.. cauldron. I prefer the Metal Core for the quality. But if you don't have a good amp, it can maybe help using the metal zone to get some more quality
@scottymaxxx i have the same amp and i have completely given up on BOSS pedals with it. its all about MXR! that amp has sooo many tone possibilities so just keep trying it out and if you dont like it try different tube. plus what kind of guitar are you using?
ok need some help digitech tl-2 or this boss pedal i play alot of drop c type stuff just some modern day metalcore stuff. ive got a fender super champ xd tube amp, so which one
Good for hair, progressive, death, power, and other kinds of metal. I like to use it for leads that cut through the mix, such as a Rush tune, etc.

this pedal is only good on starter amps or when you use it as boost with level on max gain on 0 and the EQ neutral.

@ANDRELAMBERT007 Also, I use the level knob to drive my amps input a little harder to get chunkier thicker low end.
TheSchafer78 7 months ago
@SIGN666 So you need 3 pedals to get 1 good sound? Honestly, the Metal Zone is pretty crappy. I got one when they first came out years ago. Yeah, they've got gain but the EQ on them has this annoying nasally sound. You're better off with using a Boss Super OD to boost an amp's front end.

If you want to get some awesome tone out of this pedal, dial the level to 12 o'clock, low: 2 o'clock, middle: 9 o'clock, mid freq: 11 o'clock high: 3 o'clock, distortion: 5 o'clock.

this pedal sounds great. crank up the tube amp and throw this in front with a EQ pedal for lead boost and its the sound you need. thats it.

As I stated in the World Music Supply video about this pedal is that you MUST modify it to get it to sound good. Sad, but true. Then you need a good amp and closed back speaker cabinet (8 ohms or more) to get the pure essence of this modified pedal. Modified, this pedal moves the air. This was the first time I ever experienced something like this and was completely blown away! By the way, Keely Electronics modified my pedal, and they told me what to do to get the most from this pedal. Call them.

This pedal needs to be boosted to sound best. It's sort of mellow otherwise.

alright for bedroom practice, but useless in a live or recording setting, try a noise gate and a tubescreamer in front of a good distortion channel, with plenty of mids rather than a tinny scooped tone.

Ok I really need someone to help me! I just got the boss mt 2 metal zone today and the amp I currently have is a 15 watt line 6 spider 3. And idk the sound sounded a little well bad. My amp was making strange noises behind the distortion. And my question is... Is it my pedal or my amp that's the problem!!!!?!???!

@fritosofdoritos metal distortion pedals sound like shit if you put them in most small amps. For example, I had the Randall Kirk Hammet Signature 15 Watt, and I used the Metal Muff with it... The sound was so terrible I gave it to other people for free. Then I bought the Vox DA20 amp and add the pedal and it gives me the tone you find in youtube review videos. So I would say it's your amp. Metal distortion works best with warm, clean amp. Twangy clean amp will ruin your distortion.

@fritosofdoritos its the amp. to use any pedal with a spider you must use the clean channel with NO EFFECTS

Ok, this is one of the sickest pedals around. I've been playing guitar for almost 20 years and this is what I use. It has a crazy range, a full spectrum of almost every Heavy Metal sound that you want. The value is unbelievable. Get yourself one for your arsenal. Hands down one of the best tools that you can buy. Made by one of the best names in ROCK.... BOSS...

Get rid of the MT2, go pick up a graphic eq and a tube screamer for boost. You have a tube amp, you don't need a distortion pedal.
