Hey, this is where i got my metal zone pedal for free, im just sharing it to you guys.. tinyurl(dot)com/prizes2earn .... in case of any doubt, ill make a video for proof once i have the chance.
Hey if you guys want to hear this pedal in context in a heavier band, go check out our page. We use it and play in drop b and we're really satisfied with how it sounds.
@Albee213 oye viejo buen review. tengo una pregunta: q tal daria en un miniamp ms-4 de marshall?? tengo una ibanez gio 270 asi q mas o menos ya sabras como es el sonido...
Nice. This is a really versatile pedal, and that's why it's been around for so long. I play a lot of thrash. The amp I have right now has too much treble, so I boost the bass and hi-mids, and cut the hi's. I put the distortion to about 75%. It would sound okay at 60%, but why have all that distortion if you're not gonna use it?
This is a Killer Pedal! All you have to do is experiment with your Axe & Rig & TRUST ME....you will find that KILLER METAL SOUND your looking for! I run this through my Peavey Bandit 112 "Teal Stripe" (Scorpion Equipped) & my Jackson Kelly KE-3 & O.M.G. it's M-E-T-A-L & BEYOND DUDES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
este suena perfecto para tocar musica blues y country , jajaj naaa im just kiddin'
hey bro, i gotta question , i was thinkin' and i wanna buy this pedal , but i heard a lot of people that says that the sound is not good at all . i got a gibson les paul and a mg marshall 15 watts , kiero tocar canciones recotra metaleras , q me dices , haber si me animo xD
this pedal can do whatever distortion you want if you have the patience to learn how to use it. i can get overdrive (hendrix), epic solo (van halen), metal (metallica to cannibal corpse), classic (ac dc to led zeppelin), a crispy punk sound (pennywise), classic punk (sex pistols, ramones), modern/alternative punk (green day), the only thing it cant do is like a cool chill blues setting.
You do have a lot of good articulation with you settings. Please tell me how you had you knobs set, especially the outer adjustments of the middle 2 knobs. I cannot see those in the video.
well it's about damn time someone played some kick ass thrash riffs to demo the Metal Zone pedal. I was sick and tired of running into all these Atreyu, Avenged Sevencrap wanna be's posting vids. Anyways, I just got one and I love it!
Tengo un MT-2 y de verdad que me cuesta configurarlo para que suene bien. A veces logro buenas distorsiones pero el sonido carece de cuerpo. Que amplificador estas utilizando en éste demo?
I've been wanting to get one as my first distortion pedal. How do you set it up? Do you plug it to the amp and then plug your guitar to the pedal or what???? Please reply
@Soldier1287 its extremely simple!!! get two cables, plug ur guitar into the place on the pedal that says input. take the other pedal and put it in the place that says output, and plug that into your amp. make sure ur amp is on clean tone, and than adjust to your likings both on the amp, and on the pedal!!!
@LostAngelsjk99 Unlesss you got a Mesa this is one of the mest, this video does not show the best sound of this pedal, I just wanted to show that it does not need to sound fake and screechy like most vids on youtube for it.
@Albee213 i have a marshall mg100hdfx head...it is good or do you prefer other pedal for real thrash-heavy metal???i compared the md2....ml2....mt2 and the digitech tl-2 hardwire metal distortion...i realized that tl-2 is the best...!!!whats your opinion???or you know other better pedals from those??thanks!!!

@zaktan415 hey dude i don't own this pedal but you'll get a great tone to play AC/DC from a marshall valves (i use a MA 50c) the ACDC don't use any pedal only a huge volume and a littell distontion from the amp.
if you want a pedal to be cheaper you can get a boss ds-2 or ds-1 those a ligther distortion but still pretty cool to play ac dc
@jeanflorian13 uhh, mostly sepultura, desperate cry and Megadeth, blackmail the universe, devils island... the settings are all simple, turn to NOON and adjust as needed, but for the FREQ to work you must have the mid range turned up or down a little bit, at noon it does nothing.
@danielpb10 Huh? You want to use this pedal for country music? I think its possible but you will need to keep the treble high and the midrange high too, really for that I jsut do not know.
@Albee213 he meant for the band job for a cowboy it's a band definitely not country music lol I've heard a few ov there stuff I couldn't get into it but it's metal
@danielpb10 Just mess around with the settings. If anything, i think that the Boss ML-2 Metalcore would be better for you. I get a good death metal tone out of it.
@horseman863 I start with all in the middle. 45% terble, 45% bass 45% middle and 45% mid freq. with the dist at 50%. I set mine up for extreme loudness but it will matter what amp blah blah you use. I suggest you never turn the dist much past 50%.
dude , i conected my mt 2 pedal to an adaper that wasnt a boss adapter , it had higer voltage so it fried , what can i do plase help me , im not an expert with this kinda things , , all i gotta do is change the wires , or is it far beyond repair ?????:S:S:S
A few bands have used these in the past aand they sound great. I need to make a new vid, but the point of this was that it can sound good, check out other vids were its too much dist and sounds fake and thin... I have used many other pedels and I think this is the best.
@thaaxe Exactly. I was in the band and second guitarist used metalzone. And the sound was terrible. I had ENGL thunder, it was strongly different and better. Yes, metalzone is "OK-sounding pedal" but in this clip, it really isn't.
I just bought this for 50€ and it'll be delivered soon. I'm looking for extremely ultimate distortion and this pedal sounds cool. I hope this fucking rocks with my stack.
@poosepooseofchicken I will not pay more for a patch cable than what the pedal costs! I have had these cables for about 9 years and they work perfectly, I got one moster cable and it sucks ass and was way too much.
haha, if they work for you, then that's great. I had the same patch chords, and they never lasted long for me though ...might be because I play alot of shows though :/
this pedal is sick. your settings are kind of whimpy here though no offense. turn the mids down, the second mid you want about halfway up, treble at about an 8 and bass all the way up, same with the distortion you want that at 100%
I have found that the pedal sounds better with the DIST at 50%, but remember this is at low volume and with a WEB CAM mic. If you turn up real loud is sounds well rounded. I prefer a full sound that is not scooped.
i have one there an ok pedal but quite empty theres not alot of punch they sound very thin i was thinking maybe selling mine and going for something with a bit mre beef maybe the metal core i hear that kicks the shit outta metal zones still enjoy using the Zone but maybe its time for a change laters!
the metal zone and metal core are different pedals. The metal zone was released in 1991(the circuit hasnt changed since), so think about what kind of music was out around then...very mid rangey, hot rodded type metal. The metal core is for the more modern,mid scooper metal types.
What more are you waiting for in a <100$ stormbox? This is one of the most popular BOSS pedals and every guy starting analog playing would touch it first. IMO you can't expect the sound as good as a tube amp, but it's sound is not "terrible" like you think. Maybe you should try some Boogie or Keeley Modded for it or check out if your MT2 had some problem? Cheers.
@polkmammoth I am using a behringer 2x12. I just wanted to know that this unit did not have to be crankted up and sound fizzy and fake, most demos have the DIST up too high and the tone sounds terrible.
I was under the impression that you knew how to use this pedal. After watching the video, I strongly disagree. For demo sakes, why did you not adjust the settings properly? Every knob at 12 o'clock? Who would actually play this pedal this way? No one.
I love this pedal. I only have a really old 20 watt Rogue bass amplifier, but this pedal still sounds great through it. I do agree that the distortion sounds bad if you turn it up more than about 60%.
My favorite setting I've found so far is:
Low: 100%
High: 80% (straight to the right)
Middle: 65% (pointing NW)
Mid Freq: 35% (pointing NE)
It gives a bold distortion sound without being too fuzzy on my amp.
I am a true believer in this peddle. There are many out there but this one will make almost any amp kick ass. Other than that I might try the Seymour Duncan tube peddles but they are very expensive. This peddle sounds great on solid state and tube amps big or small.
Agreed 100%. Ive had my Metal Zone forever, since they were released i think, and was one of the best investments ive made. Since getting my MT2 ive heard and used a million different distortion pedals, none of which are anywhere near as good as the MT-2. A lot more adjustability in the metal zone, and a HUGE range. If you cant get the sound your after with the MT2 you have issues.
A good setting for starting out is Bass at 50%, mid between 40 - 55% trebble rolled back between 45-55% and the mid freq at 45%. If the mid range is at 50% then the freq knob will do nothing to the tone. And in my opinion never have the DIST more than 60%. It will sound fake and weak like some new-be thrasher that turns the bass and treble all the way up and the mids all the way down.
bass all the way up! sounds so thick and badass! i love this pedal for the clean distrtion sound. its compressed and lovely. lots of people prefer the metal muff but i think it just sounds noisy. anyone?
Also, I use a BOSS GT-8 for my tones but I always bring this peddle with me incase I have problems or need to use somone elses amp, you can never go wrong with this one.

this pedal is sick. your settings are kind of whimpy here though no offense. turn the mids down, the second mid you want about halfway up, treble at about an 8 and bass all the way up, same with the distortion you want that at 100%

I have found that the pedal sounds better with the DIST at 50%, but remember this is at low volume and with a WEB CAM mic. If you turn up real loud is sounds well rounded. I prefer a full sound that is not scooped.

i have one there an ok pedal but quite empty theres not alot of punch they sound very thin i was thinking maybe selling mine and going for something with a bit mre beef maybe the metal core i hear that kicks the shit outta metal zones still enjoy using the Zone but maybe its time for a change laters!
mrshef666 2 years ago
the metal zone and metal core are different pedals. The metal zone was released in 1991(the circuit hasnt changed since), so think about what kind of music was out around then...very mid rangey, hot rodded type metal. The metal core is for the more modern,mid scooper metal types.

is this work for dimebag stuff ??
bessamana 2 years ago
I think it will work for any Thrash metal. With almost any amp, good or cheap.
Albee213 2 years ago
If you are looking for a Dime tone then get the MXR DD11 Dime distortion pedal for about £110.

What more are you waiting for in a <100$ stormbox? This is one of the most popular BOSS pedals and every guy starting analog playing would touch it first. IMO you can't expect the sound as good as a tube amp, but it's sound is not "terrible" like you think. Maybe you should try some Boogie or Keeley Modded for it or check out if your MT2 had some problem? Cheers.

Dude not the best demo either. What are you playing out of?
polkmammoth 2 years ago
@polkmammoth I am using a behringer 2x12. I just wanted to know that this unit did not have to be crankted up and sound fizzy and fake, most demos have the DIST up too high and the tone sounds terrible.
Albee213 2 years ago
why didnt you alter the knobs to show us different tones?
axegrinder89 2 years ago
Didnt you see me tweak the knobs a bit? I dont know how to get other tones, just this bad ass one!!
Albee213 2 years ago
well in other vids the demonstrater usually shows us all the diffrent sounds the pedal can achieve with the diffrent eq settings and things like that
axegrinder89 2 years ago
You fuck! why didnt you max out the distortion! Thats where the parties at!!!

nice megadeth and metallica!!
ventor11225 2 years ago
I was under the impression that you knew how to use this pedal. After watching the video, I strongly disagree. For demo sakes, why did you not adjust the settings properly? Every knob at 12 o'clock? Who would actually play this pedal this way? No one.

I love this pedal. I only have a really old 20 watt Rogue bass amplifier, but this pedal still sounds great through it. I do agree that the distortion sounds bad if you turn it up more than about 60%.
My favorite setting I've found so far is:
Low: 100%
High: 80% (straight to the right)
Middle: 65% (pointing NW)
Mid Freq: 35% (pointing NE)
It gives a bold distortion sound without being too fuzzy on my amp.

grapeswisherblunt 2 years ago
I am a true believer in this peddle. There are many out there but this one will make almost any amp kick ass. Other than that I might try the Seymour Duncan tube peddles but they are very expensive. This peddle sounds great on solid state and tube amps big or small.
Albee213 2 years ago
Agreed 100%. Ive had my Metal Zone forever, since they were released i think, and was one of the best investments ive made. Since getting my MT2 ive heard and used a million different distortion pedals, none of which are anywhere near as good as the MT-2. A lot more adjustability in the metal zone, and a HUGE range. If you cant get the sound your after with the MT2 you have issues.
TheGusto69 2 years ago
A good setting for starting out is Bass at 50%, mid between 40 - 55% trebble rolled back between 45-55% and the mid freq at 45%. If the mid range is at 50% then the freq knob will do nothing to the tone. And in my opinion never have the DIST more than 60%. It will sound fake and weak like some new-be thrasher that turns the bass and treble all the way up and the mids all the way down.
Albee213 2 years ago
bass all the way up! sounds so thick and badass! i love this pedal for the clean distrtion sound. its compressed and lovely. lots of people prefer the metal muff but i think it just sounds noisy. anyone?

Also, I use a BOSS GT-8 for my tones but I always bring this peddle with me incase I have problems or need to use somone elses amp, you can never go wrong with this one.

Hey how long do the batteries last with the MT-2?
