BOSS MT-2 Metal Zone Distortion Pedal | High-gain distortion for guitar and bass with two-stage gain and active three-band EQ

pas de chance pour moi cette metal zone n'a pas voulue s'allumer mais j'ai un autre metal zone qui bosse bien, le son est juste trés bien, pas loin de la perfection pour metalleux, gratteux, debutant et pro. je recommande meme si elle est un peu chère.

Amazing guitar petal with good sounds and amazing accessibility with the shifts and the battery is easy to remove and overall 10/10

I bought the BOSS ML-2 Metal Core to cover “modern metal” territory in a simple stompbox, and it absolutely delivers what it’s designed for: very high gain, tight/weighty low end, and a sharp, aggressive attack that makes palm-mutes and chugs sound huge. BOSS even markets it as their most extreme/high-gain distortion and aimed at modern heavy styles. Tone & feel (what it does best) • Rhythm tones: This pedal shines for heavy rhythm work—think tight, percussive riffs and big low end. The LOW/HIGH EQ is voiced for “chunk + edge,” and it really leans into that modern, biting sound. • Modern voicing: Many players describe it as naturally a bit mid-scooped and “in your face,” which is great for heavy rhythm but can be less ideal for cutting through with leads unless you compensate elsewhere. Controls & ease of use It’s refreshingly simple: Level, Distortion, Low, High. No menu diving, no weird quirks—just quick dialing. Best results (for me and generally echoed by others) come from running it into a clean/neutral amp (or a clean channel) so the pedal provides the core distortion character. The main limitation The flip side of “simple” is EQ flexibility. There’s no dedicated mid control, and that’s the biggest reason this pedal can be polarizing. If you need to boost mids for solos or to cut through a dense mix, you’ll likely want an EQ pedal after it, or you may prefer something like a Metal Zone style pedal with more mid shaping. Noise / practicality With this much gain, you should expect some noise at extreme settings—pretty normal for the category. If you’re playing tight modern metal, a noise gate (or disciplined muting) can help keep things surgical. Who it’s for - You want instant modern metal rhythm tones, tight lows, aggressive bite, minimal tweaking. - You rely on mid control for leads or mix cut—plan on adding an EQ, or choose a pedal with more flexible mids. Overall: A purpose-built metal distortion that does the “crushing modern rhythm” thing extremely well. I’d rate it 4/5 only because the lack of mid control can be limiting depending on your rig and band mix.

特に低音に関しては歪みが特段充実している。何より低音に絡む倍音がペダルエフェクターの域を超えている。それだけ低音が充実している上に全音域の歪み具合も良い。ただトーンが低い。エンハンサーなどを追加するだけで極上のサウンドになる。

Necesitaba un pedal para tocar canciones de Metallica, motel crue y similares. Probé primero el ds-1 (distorsión) pero no sirve para eso. Entonces lo cambie por este Metal Zone y valió la pena pagar un poco más por él.
