BOSS MT-2 Metal Zone - INTRO

collapse expand iconDescription

To celebrate 30 years of continuous MT-2 production, BOSS created the limited-edition commemorative Metal Zone effects pedal featuring gray lettering and a vintage silver thumbscrew for the battery compartment. It also comes packed with two 6' jumper cables in a box with a special 30th Anniversary logo. The MT-2 is BOSS’s second most popular drive pedal ever, after the DS-1 Distortion. A key to its enduring success is the ability to achieve dense, heavy crunch and singing sustain at any volume, providing an instantly inspiring experience for players at every skill level. And thanks to its smooth character and active EQ with semi-parametric midrange, the MT-2 works well with all types of guitar amplifiers, including clean “pedal platform” amps. Under the hood, the MT-2 employs an innovative analog circuit design to realize its rich, heavy voice. Two gain stages are configured in series, with the first stage providing mid-focused clarity that feeds the second stage’s more aggressive character. Carefully tuned pre- and post-distortion filtering (seven total stages) ensures that the tone is tight and well-defined at every setting, with no mud or flub whatsoever. Plus, the MT-2’s advanced tone shaping goes far beyond the capabilities of most analog drive pedals, letting you dial in everything from chugging, mid-scooped rhythm mayhem to bold, cutting sounds that poke through the densest mixes.

    Takes some time getting the EQs dialed in, but once you do, this pedal is capable of a wide range of tones.

    Finally pulled the trigger on a classic, and not sad about it at all. I expected to see some sort of emblem for anniversary rather than just a different color on labels. But honestly, that's not why I got it. Sound and options is excellent in a classic boss format. Bonus cables was a nice touch.

  • Great quality distortion pedal

    This is a fantastic pedal. There's a wide variety of tonal options that allow for great modifications on sound quality. It's extremely versatile and in addition to the excellent sound options, it is extremely solid and durable. This would be an asset to both beginning and experienced musicians

    Electronically, is there any difference between this 30th Anniversary MT-2 and the original MT-2?
