Marshall Shred Master vs Boss MT-2 Metal Zone
Вставка

- Who was master of the Metal universe in the early 90's, the Marshall Shred Master or the Boss Metal Zone? I set up both rhythm and lead tones with each and compared them. I then use the rhythm and lead settings together in a mix. Will this settle the great debate or start a new one that will end human kind in a mushroom cloud of metal?
I'm using a clean amp; a Fender Deluxe Reverb and the tuning is drop C if you are wondering. Please note that in the first MT-2 example there is some low end bottoming out. This was due to overloading the mics, it was not overloading the amp.

Good comparison! The Marshall sounds more like a real amp and is my pedal of choice in this case. It would cool to listen to both pedals in the same mix, ie. the Marshall on the left channel and the MT2 on the right, or some kind of stuff like that. Guess one would complement the other really well. Cheers, mate!
Finally! A good metal demo on Shredmaster
Shredmaster had a more wet distortion sound to me (Which I love)
huge range of tone on the Metal Zone. Good comparison. Neither one is better than the other, but simply different tones.
The MT-2 has a huge range of sounds, but it is hard to dial in.
Nothing defeats the..METAL ZONE 🤘
When I was in high school my friend played a Les Paul through a Crate dual speaker amp that had a built in chorus and a Metal Zone. To this day it's the best guitar tone that I've ever heard. I bought a Metal Zone and a chorus pedal and it just isn't even close with my guitar and amp.
Boss MetalZone = God
Great battle premise! LOL I thought the Metal Zone came out in the 80s. I am amazed it was '91 right as grunge was breaking through.
The boss HM-2 heavy metal was from the 80s, same colour 😎
I thought it came out in 80s also
I thought i got one in ‘88
I guess not
Mine was definitely the Metal Zone
What mic is that on the left speaker? I see the SM57 on the right. Dig the tones! Definitely has a bit of that Swedish death metal thing going.
It's a Rode NT3
You should check out the Zvex Box of Metal peddle
The Shredmaster has great low overdrive tones, too. Demos always seem to focus on the high gain tones, but it’s very versatile for a wide range of genres.
Yes it is. I sold this one because it was a bit beat up. I will buy one of the reissues.
Oh yeah, I ordered a Blues Crab. Arriving next week. :)
Awesome, let me know what you think. FYI, the gain knob also adds tone, so you might want to back the tone knob off. 😉
Marshall..hands down
You really need to spend more time dialing in the mid knobs for the Metal Zone. It's so touchy and finding the right mix of the tone and frequency is really a pain. It's worth the effort though.
I think it wasn't well suited to the fender deluxe.
@@JasonAyalaSpare I fell in love with a Metal Zone in high school. My friend had one that he played through a half stack Crate amp that had build in chorus. It sounded amazing. I bought an MZ and a chorus pedal, ran it through my Peavey and I couldn't even come close. Maybe that pedal is really amp sensitive?
@Davivd2 probably, I've found very few distortion pedals that sound great through the clean channel of a vintage style amp.
@@JasonAyalaSpare Oh well that's why. You are running your pedals through the clean channel. Try running through the send return loop on your amps. That cuts out any processing just lets you use your pedal as the pre amp straight to the speakers. I did through the clean channel for years until Ola England put out a video about running through the effect loop and it makes a huge difference.
@Davivd2 it does because you bypass the tone stack. However, my Fender deluxe doesn't have one.
For some reason the Shredmaster reminded me the sound of the Carcass' Necroticism era.
I read that they used a Marshall guvnor on that album which is a little similar to this pedal.
Rounds 1 and 2, the Marshall by far, but in the mix the Boss sounds awesome.
That really surprised me.
Shredmaster
I like the Metal Zone. 90s death metal in a box.
Shit I remember using a Cort guitar to keep the fire going when I was young... They were one of the cheapest guitars that you could buy back in the day...
This one plays well and I loaded with Seymour Duncans 👍
The Cort M600 is a seriously great guitar. I regret selling mine.
Love the cover of SF2 Ken Stage
You noticed 🤟
Shredmaster re-issue with a mxr 10 band eq after 🤷♂️
The initial music😂😂win👍🏻.
Hmm, yes, I too am named Jason 🤔🤔🤔
🤔😉
it's incredible, but i prefer the mt-2
Bunyi marshall hebat dgn harga yang mahal.. Bunyi boss hebat dengan harga yang murah😊😊😊
The lead mt needs more mids
IMHO, Shredmaster appeals to a more "classic" tone, closer to the Heavy Metal sound. On the other hand, Metal Zone (in stock condition) tends to deliver a "nosier" tone; I'm not saying MT-2 stinks, nevertheless, with a proper EQ and/or a good mod it would be better used. Simply horses for courses.
No need for any mod... Just run it thru the amp loop or before a cab sim/power amp.
It's got a great eq. You just have to use a tube amp.
Shredmaster (stock) sounds better than the stock mt2 but... If you know a bit how to mod or know someone that understand the mt2 schematic can turn the mt2 into a powerful beast to be the best and most versatile high gain pedal ever and I'm not joking.
It would be cool if you could get a presence mod for the SM.
@@JasonAyalaSpare I have... ua-cam.com/video/5MNeyCanFEU/v-deo.html
the internet and my brain say shredmaster, but my ears and heart say metal zone. lmao.
I was surprised at how good the MT-2 sounded in the mix.
Sounds should "sit" in a mix not "cut through" it
@@klaatubarada7556 Atrocious comment 😄
Are you sure you like the sound of an electric guitar? Because it seems like you are trying to scoop out all of the tone and goodness. To each they're own.
