    I got this distortion unit at my guitar store and i paid about US$110 for it and it was a pretty good deal for a unit that packs this much power. I got it because I needed a good distortion tone... I honestly never expected it was going to turn out to pack the most monster distortion ever.



    It holds and delivers a great dstortion sound... absolutely a great tone. It is clear and sharp and you can get almost any distortion sound with it. Any metalhead (including myself) would fall in love with this pedal coz you can play real metal through it, like KoRn, Limp Bizkit, METALLICA and all that heavy crap. Bass, Treble, Mid, MidFreq... all included and works well.

    Nothing... i have played it through bigger amps than what i have and the sound and quality of the pedal is still there.



    It would be able to get thrown off a building and still stay in one piece. I have dropped, stomped and thrown(don't ask why) it and it still works...



    If you have a small budget and crave for a monster tone, this is THE pedal... it can't get any better.

    I bought this for 130.00 at LA Hilton's because I love BOSS and I needed a really diverse, quality distortion pedal.



    Great quality. BOSS is the master of quality. This distortion unit can model almost any kind of distortion that you could ever need or want. And it's a tough pedal, it can take time and abuse. And since this pedal is from BOSS, you know the distortion effect quality is top-of-the line. Sometimes, when I play, I think it sounds just about studio quality. Great distortion pedal all around. No doubt about it.



    The price. Even though this pedal is worth every penny you pay for it, I think 130 bucks is a bit high.

    Metal casing, heavy. Very durable. I have many friends who use BOSS stomp boxes and they have had them for years and they abuse them like crazy and the pedals are still in prime working condition.


    Although the price is a bit high, you cant go wrong with this pedal. In my opinion, you cant go wrong with BOSS period!


    The only thing i can see wrong with this pedal is the price. Other than that, it's a perfect pedal.

    Good disto

    Boss MT-2 Metal ZonePublished on 03/30/12 at 06:06
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    Good distortion with different parameters, an equalizer that makes sense.

    UTILIZATION

    Simple, no mind work but as always we must spend some time on history to find a good sound and the ultimate configuration. Why there's a bit while turning in all directions.

    SOUND QUALITY

    Levels of sound quality, it's okay, not too much wind, the quality of the distortion is good. You can have multiple sounds nice and good quality.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Overall for someone looking for a distortion not too expensive well made it is a good compromise. There is not enough to break three legs of a duck, but still. I use it everyday and I'm pretty happy.

    a very good pedal

    Boss MT-2 Metal ZonePublished on 01/04/12 at 08:31
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    the 6 settings (level, high, middle, low, mid frequency and gain) allow almost total control of sound. BOSS pedal format standart .. are 2 circuit distortion, so it's tough sound level.

    UTILIZATION

    the quality of the equalizer allows this pedal to be used in a wide range of styles.

    SOUND QUALITY

    much on a guitar on a synth, it sounds from hell

    OVERALL OPINION

    it must be 3 or 4 years that I have, j'm'en used all the time, the doors to Meshuggah!

    The hard-distortion.
    From left to right the six potentiometers are as follows:
    Level (effect level)
    Lower crown: Graves - upper crown: acute
    Lower crown: Frequency Mediums - upper crown: Mediums
    Dist: saturation

    UTILIZATION

    I had left out by focusing on POD XT ... I re-used at the moment with a head Blackstar HT5 (on the clean channel) and I must say it is a return to bluffing. It allows me to have a third channel.
    It is very easy to sculpt the sound with four crowns to dig or not mediums, shake out the serious or harmonics.

    SOUND QUALITY

    If you like the Hard and Heavy 80 90 years, it's a must-pedal.
    The only criticism we could make it is that it is not very interesting in his little crunch but it is not what is asked ... You will certainly not blame him for not having enough saturation or Punch ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have 16 years and has never failed.
    The adapter broke down before it ...
    A must have for all fans of Heavy 80/90 years.
    Yes I do not regret this choice and if it were to let go now, I think I'll buy one.

    It's been over 5 years I have the lugs around, and frankly it's worth it.
    A little expensive at the time (700 bullets pr + 200F AC adapter required), his choice

    The advantage is that you can play on any amp and get the same sound (has something ready of course) /

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use the pedals for 7 or 8 years. I stop scratching pdt 4 years, and when I returned, I found nothing better than the pedals, so I have redeemed.
    I tried pdaliers numriques but nothing., MT2 power.

    report quality price, the price does not drop bcp since I know the pedals (I think that says a bcp on quality.

    for all rfractaires, try the slightly longer (if you play from 5150, mesa dual or stuff like a) and you will see that it can DGIG power. I'm glad to see that other 'advice givers' agree that this is a very good pedals ....

    on the other hand, it sounds from hell (large distortion, lots of bass) even on a toaster 10W.

    I have used with diffrent guitars (Yamaha entry level, Epiphone Les Paul, Stratocaster Squier), the distortion obtained is' similar '(The same note is that the sound will be' large 'with humbucker with single coils, normal)

    OVERALL OPINION

    I bought a guitar when I started (13 years ago), then resold (Error !!!!!)
    I then purchased another 6-8 years ago now. For obrtenir a big distortion (even on a marshall transistor is to say!) The pedals is impeccable.

    It is no more expensive than another. The report quality price is right (you need a transformer because the battery is quickly beef). If it slams me in the fingers, I achte another in the crowd.

    Analog distortion pedal.

    UTILIZATION

    Easy to use, and a lot of controls with an effective equalizer.

    SOUND QUALITY

    Largely correct. it was one of my 1ST pedals, and I speak from my memories. Sound pretty cold, but a lot of possibilities, rather than on many other distos.

    OVERALL OPINION

    A nice pedal, but there are so many that are more interesting (with more character) for little more expensive, even for the same price.

    I call it the neck is made of metal it can stand the shock: It's solid!

    UTILIZATION

    I is not got the manual and in any case I do not think it's useful if you know what you want.

    The equalization of this pedal is great, every knob is sensitive and has just turned one feels directly the difference.

    In addition, the knobs do not turn all alone, the neck can easily keep its control during transport.

    Is obtained very quickly what you want, from rock to metal well nag: For that there is no problem if we are not afraid to turn the knobs.

    I use a Peavey Valveking 212 which for me did not gain quite heavy as a guitarist in a metalcore band. The MT-2 to change everything on my peavey, it was really necessary.

    Small disadvantage: With active pickups they need to invest in a noise gate because it blows hard.

    So I put 9 because the breath stopped me from 2 months to play with my new guitar, but I challenge that finding a conch distortion pedal that does not add breath.

    SOUND QUALITY

    While the level you want to piss off the neighbors with something very heavy or dégueux and impress the girls with solos and tapping to send?
    So here the pedal for you.

    The sound goes from crunch to the big death of Underoath Job For A Cowboy, so we have a choice of impressive but be careful because the amp, for example on my Marshall Valvestate 40W is far from natural and c ' is still not very heavy compared to the Peavey.

    Right now I do not play a lot with (except on my Marshall in the evening) because I invested in a head Peavey Ultra Plus, which allows me to compare a bit of both.
    First you have to know a head sounds better because it has no vibration, the sound is heavier and natural.
    The MT-2 is quite natural (except for the crunch is to review but not its purpose) and you can send as much as the distortion of the ultra (the sound is just a little bit garish with the Boss) .

    Finally, it is a pedal that can be easily adapted to other effects and amps.

    I put 7 because it's still less natural than the original distortion of an amp range but the average price deference traced the note 8 (for under 700euro is reached without fat especially if c ' is to repeat or play at home).

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 6 months.

    At the very beginning I had a Behringer UM100: NOTHING TO DO!
    After jsuis go on my Valveking but soon the lead channel was not enough.
    When the Boss in hand (or rather feet) I was playing more with the clean channel + pedal.
    Now I use it less because I have a head that does not need (and not with the breath I imagine that) but I keep it because it helps out on other amps.

    the most:
    _ The strength
    _ A range of its impressive settings through sensitive and accurate
    _ Reliability: I do not know anyone who brought him back in service and then it's Boss ...

    Cons:
    _ The breath but easily correctable (I invests in NS-2: 90E).
    _ The sound a little less natural that amp (have to feel what)

    If I had to redo this choice, even new, I remake (if I had not my new amp) because it is worth the money, nothing like the Behringer and it is those who sound the note of 9 .
