Item in good condition (Small marks or scratches)
The Boss MT-2 Metal Zone has earned its place as a legendary pedal, favored by artists across genres such as Biffy Clyro, Korn, Prince, Dave Mustaine, Daft Punk, Tom DeLonge, Jared Dines, and many more. Known for transforming clean amplifiers into high-gain powerhouses, the MT-2 delivers searing tones that rival those of high-end amps, making it a go-to for guitarists seeking extreme distortion without the expense of new gear.
While its design caters to aggressive musical styles, the MT-2 is a secret weapon for soloists, thanks to its unparalleled distortion capabilities. Its dual-concentric EQ pots, a first-of-its-kind feature upon release, allow precise control over High/Low gain and Middle gain/Mid frequency, offering exceptional tonal sculpting. Beyond distortion, the Metal Zone shines as a booster pedal. When used in an amplifier's effects loop with reduced gain and boosted level, it creates a warm, rich tone ideal for enhancing solos or adding depth.
The pedal’s dual gain stages in series focus and layer distortion for a signature sound that remains tight and defined. Innovative circuit design and meticulous tuning make the MT-2 versatile beyond guitar. Bass players, producers, and synth enthusiasts have harnessed its power, as famously demonstrated on Daft Punk’s "Rollin’ And Scratchin’," which featured a Roland JUNO-106 Synthesizer routed through the pedal.
The Metal Zone suits players of all skill levels. Beginners will find it an exciting introduction to distortion, intermediate players can push their boundaries, and advanced players can explore its iconic tone. Its enduring appeal has inspired several versions: the original MT-2, the limited-edition MT-2-3A celebrating its 30th anniversary with special finishes, and the MT-2W, a boutique version re-engineered with premium components, custom circuitry, and a modern voicing.
No matter the variant, the Boss MT-2 remains a staple for those chasing legendary, high-gain tones. It has been tested by our second-hand department and is fully functional!
