Description
The BOSS MT-2 Metal Zone is a compact distortion pedal designed for guitarists who want saturated, articulate high gain without losing definition. From modern metal riffs to aggressive hard rock leads, it delivers tight lows, razor sharp mids and singing sustain that cuts through a band mix. Whether you are building your first serious pedalboard or adding a precise, focused distortion voice to a seasoned rig, the MT-2 is quick to dial in and inspires confident playing. It works equally well into clean amps, slightly driven channels or modellers, making it a reliable go to for practice, rehearsal and stage use.
Under the familiar BOSS footswitch sits a dual stage gain circuit and a powerful EQ that make the MT-2 more refined than entry level distortion pedals. The three band equaliser features a sweepable mid frequency with separate level control, so you can scoop for rhythm crunch or push the midrange for fluid solos. Low and high controls let you tame flub or add bite with real precision. A rugged metal chassis, firm footswitch and dependable jacks withstand years of use, while the buffered bypass keeps your signal strong across longer cable runs, preserving clarity when the pedal is off.
For lessons, graded exams and school ensembles across the UK, the MT-2 offers consistent results with minimal fuss. Clear control labelling and a broad range of usable sounds make it easy for students to hear how EQ choices shape tone, which supports effective tuition. Battery or standard 9V power options suit classroom trolleys and home practice alike, and the compact footprint fits neatly on small boards. With its proven reliability, excellent value and tone shaping depth, the Metal Zone helps players progress from bedroom practice to band rehearsals and gigs without needing to change their core distortion sound.
