The BOSS MT-2 Metal Zone is an iconic high-gain distortion pedal known for its innovative dual-stage gain circuit that produces thick and tight distortion sounds with smooth, singing sustain. It features a three-band active EQ with semi-parametric midrange, providing intense sound customization with up to 15 dB boost/cut on each band. The pedal is designed to achieve dense, heavy crunch and singing sustain at any volume, making it suitable for players at every skill level. The MT-2 employs an innovative analog circuit design with two gain stages configured in series, providing mid-focused clarity and aggressive character. The post-distortion Low, Middle, and High knobs offer +15 dB cut or boost to match different guitar and amp types or craft entirely new tones. The midrange control allows setting the frequency in the critical band anywhere from 200 Hz to 5 kHz. The pedal also comes with a BOSS five-year warranty.
For the MT-2W Metal Zone, it is a refined version of the MT-2 with Waza Craft innovation, featuring a dual-stage gain circuit built with discrete analog components. It offers Standard mode, which delivers an evolved version of the original mid-focused Metal Zone tone, and Custom mode, introducing a fresh, wide-ranging voice suitable for diverse high-gain styles. The pedal also includes a powerful three-band EQ, a premium buffer for clean and clear tone when bypassed, and is made in Japan with a BOSS five-year warranty. The Waza Craft version enhances the performance and versatility of the original MT-2, providing premium tones with increased clarity and refined EQ for both Standard and Custom modes.
