For over 25 years the MT-2 Metal Zone has been one of the most popular and influential compact pedals in the BOSS lineup with overall sales that are second only to the venerable DS-1 Distortion. Made in Japan and infused with Waza Craft mojo the MT-2W takes the iconic stomp to new levels of tonal range and versatility. Standard mode delivers an evolved version of the original mid-focused Metal Zone tone while Custom mode introduces a fresh wide-ranging voice thatrs perfectly suited for todayrs diverse high-gain styles.
First released in 1991 and in continuous production ever since` the MT-2 Metal Zone is loved by guitarists everywhere for its thick` rich distortion and distinctive mid-focused character. Capable of producing a versatile range of heavy tones` the MT-2’s innovative dual-stage gain circuit has influenced legions of pedal designers through the years. Another standout feature is its groundbreaking three-band EQ with parametric midrange` which provides deep sound-shaping ability for covering numerous high-gain styles. The pedal was also one of the first BOSS compacts with dual-concentric knobs` offering expanded control without increasing size.
Like all Waza Craft pedals` the MT-2W infuses an original BOSS analog design with artful refinements for enhanced performance and versatility. The dual-stage gain circuit features a discrete design with carefully selected components` providing premium tones with increased clarity. The EQ has been refined as well` with a smoother midrange tone and unique Q values specially tuned for the pedal’s Standard and Custom modes.
Supported by the discrete components in the MT-2W’s dual-stage gain circuit` Standard mode takes the Metal Zone’s famous mid-driven sound to the next level. The attack is even more responsive` and the definition and clarity has been enhanced as well. Noise has been reduced too` providing improved performance at ultra-high gain settings.
Engaging the MT-2W’s Custom mode voices the pedal for a huge` wide-ranging sound` making it ideal for nearly any current heavy style. The tone is natural and open` with increased dynamics and rounder lower mids than Standard mode. Even at the highest gain settings` the low end remains full yet tight` focused` and well-defined` perfect for chugging out low-tuned riffs. The sound also cleans up very nicely when reducing your guitar’s volume` putting an extremely balanced range of tones under your fingers.
Since the beginning` the engineers at BOSS have been committed to achieving the finest guitar tones using any technology necessary` from old-school analog circuits to high-tech DSP. This enthusiastic spirit continues on with the Waza Craft series` which brings you exceptional tone and touch response through carefully selected analog components` refined circuitry` and meticulous attention to detail. In Japan` “Waza” is the term for art and technique` and these special edition pedals proudly carry the Waza symbol to represent the pinnacle of BOSS design and craftsmanship.
