This commemorative pedal features gray lettering and a vintage silver thumbscrew for the battery compartment and comes in a box with a special 30th Anniversary logo. Introduced way back in 1991, the iconic MT-2 Metal Zone remains the king of high-gain distortion stomps for guitarists around the world, with over one million sold and counting. Its thick, saturated sound is perfectly suited for metal styles and is also great for playing heavy rhythms and soaring solos in other genres. With incredibly wide tone-shaping range and ultra-smooth sustain, the multifaceted MT-2 brings an array of rich distortion voices to any musical setting. The world icon in high-gain distortion pedals Iconic high-gain distortion pedal Innovative dual-stage gain circuit produces thick & tight distortion sounds with smooth sustain Three-band active EQ with semi-parametric midrange Provides intense sound customization with up to 15 dB boost/cut on each band Easy to achieve massive, satisfying sounds at any volume level Step into the Metal Zone The MT-2 is BOSS’s second most popular drive pedal ever, after the DS-1 Distortion. A key to its enduring success is the ability to achieve dense, heavy crunch and singing sustain at any volume, providing an instantly inspiring experience for players at every skill level. And thanks to its smooth character and active EQ with semi-parametric midrange, the MT-2 works well with all types of guitar amplifiers, including clean “pedal platform” amps. Innovative Dual-Stage Gain Circuit Under the hood, the MT-2 employs an innovative analog circuit design to realize its rich, heavy voice. Two gain stages are configured in series, with the first stage providing mid-focused clarity that feeds the second stage’s more aggressive character. Carefully tuned pre- and post-distortion filtering (seven total stages) ensures that the tone is tight and well-defined at every setting, with no mud or flub whatsoever. Shapeshifter The MT-2’s advanced tone shaping goes far beyond the capabilities of most analog drive pedals, letting you dial in everything from chugging, mid-scooped rhythm mayhem to bold, cutting sounds that poke through the densest mixes. Post-distortion Low, Middle, and High knobs offer +15 dB cut or boost to perfectly match your guitar and amp type or craft entirely new tones. The midrange is the heart of every guitar’s voice, and the MT-2 provides a variable control to set the frequency in this critical band anywhere from 200 Hz to 5 kHz. ## Features - Super high-quality sound - Precision effect and EQ controls ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0002CZVA0 | | Amperage | 110 Milliamps | | Audio Output Effects | Distortion | | Best Sellers Rank | #9,434 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #11 in Guitar Distortion & Overdrive Effects | | Brand | BOSS | | Brand Name | BOSS | | Colour | Black | | Connector Type | USB | | Controls Type | Knob | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 954 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04957054020934 | | Hardware Interface | USB | | Importer Contact Information | BOSS | | Item Dimensions | 15.2 x 9.7 x 6.9 Centimeters | | Item Part Number | MT-2 | | Item Type Name | Distortion & Overdrive | | Item Weight | 431 Grams | | Manufacturer | Boss, Boss | | Manufacturer Contact Information | Boss | | Manufacturer Part Number | MT-2 | | Model Name | Metal Zone | | Model Number | MT-2 | | Packer Contact Information | BOSS | | Signal Format | Analog | | Style | Pedal | | UPC | 761294020937 | | Unit Count | 1 Piece | | Voltage | 9 Volts | | Warranty Description | 1 YEAR WARRANTY | ## Product Details - **Brand:** BOSS - **Colour:** Black - **Item Weight:** 431 Grams - **Style:** Pedal - **Voltage:** 9 Volts ## Images ![BOSS MT-2 Metal Zone Distortion Guitar Pedal - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71aHeAESn8L.jpg) ![BOSS MT-2 Metal Zone Distortion Guitar Pedal - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71poY0mVdUL.jpg) ![BOSS MT-2 Metal Zone Distortion Guitar Pedal - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71F2MYsLt+L.jpg) ![BOSS MT-2 Metal Zone Distortion Guitar Pedal - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61RtlsostUL.jpg) ![BOSS MT-2 Metal Zone Distortion Guitar Pedal - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81eEZgLEnwL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: would this be a good option when playing guitar at a somber worship service?** A: Well I'm not sure what a Somber Worship Service is. But if your looking for a good metal tone this is a good buy. You can adjust to the sound distortion you want. **Q: Would this be a good pedal for 80's hair metal/rock bands like Warrant orTesla type of sound or would a regular Distortion pedal work just as well?** A: Hello, this is a great pedal for playing metal. I had mine connected to a Marshall 30CFX with the amp on the clean channel and it sounded great. I play a lot of Black Sabbath, Metallica, and AC/DC. I had the MT-2 and the DS-1 side by side, the DS-1 didn`t even compare so I sold it. I just found the MT-2 to be way more flexible to the point of where I almost bought another one so I could have two side by side. I liked it that much. I thought the gain and distortion on this pedal were very good. You can play anything with this pedal. I also have the Orange Micro Terror and the Dark Terror and I am using a 60 watt Mesa Boogie cabinet. The dark Terror is a high gain amp that needs no pedal and the Micro Terror can take the MT-2, but I prefer without. The Micro Terror is a great rock amp by itself, trust me. I don`t know what you have for equipment, but I wouldn`t use the MT-2 with a tube amp, you would be defeating the purpose of the tubes, solid state pedals and tube amps generally don`t mix well, but that`s just my opinion. I would go to your local guitar shop and try the pedal out on a variety of settings, with different amps to see if you like it or not because it`s about what you like and not what other people think you should have for equipment. Everybody has to find their own sound. Anyways, I hoped this helped and gave you some things to think about before making your purchase, good luck and have fun. **Q: Is this pedal True Bypass? Thanks.** A: No, Boss pedals are never true bypass. They are buffered. Always have been, always will be. **Q: Can I get a Zeppelin / sabbath sound out of this?** A: It's a heavy distortion sound ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***I on 14 February 2025* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***H on 7 August 2020* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***E on 27 September 2017* ## Frequently Bought Together - Boss MT-2 Metal Zone Distortion Guitar Pedal - D'Addario Accessories Guitar Pedal Power Supply - DC 9V Power Cord - 9V Power Supply for Guitar Pedals - Pedalboard Power Supply - PW-CT-9V - Fender Professional Series Instrument Cable, Guitar Cable 10 ft, Guitar Accessories, Stage Ready with Anti-Kinking Design, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/70708977-boss-mt-2-metal-zone-distortion-guitar-pedal](https://www.desertcart.us/products/70708977-boss-mt-2-metal-zone-distortion-guitar-pedal) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
