Boss MT-2 Metal Zone

The device does what it's supposed to do: Distort.

The level control adjusts the volume between clean and distorted, which is useful.

The sounds can be adjusted via the two middle controls ("Equaliser"). The presets suggested in the manual for certain sounds (e.g. Rock 1, Rock 2, Overdrive etc.) are not very helpful in my personal opinion. You have to try it out yourself.

As expected, the Distortion control adjusts the amount of distortion.

The design of the device is robust.

There is nothing to complain about the handling by Kirstein.

About the Metalzone MT-2w:
Somehow I always had the feeling with the original Metalzone that the pedal was a gag from Boss. Then I got the idea to use it as a preamp and played it directly into the power amp. The sun really rises. Unbelievable. Then there was the Waza version. You don't need it, I thought. I thought wrong.
The Custom Mode makes the Metal Zone a 2 in 1 pedal. I didn't expect that much.

Clean gehat there nothing. That's not what it's made for. But (Hard-)Rock and Metal runs! And that really well.
In custom mode, the bass and low mid range is much tighter and cleaner. For that alone it is worth it. With it the Metal Zone asserts itself in the band context really well.
