I think it’s real horror show which means awesome
You know it 🤣🤣
The Scarier the Better!
They did a reissue of this pedal. It is just misunderstood. Sold a lot of pedals recently but kept this one. A true classic.
Totally agree 💯 you can get some great tones from these 👌🎸
I loved my Metal Zone II when I was 16 and love it now at 42!
It's an awesome pedal and tons of fun. Haters can kick rocks. It's a supreme case of hate becoming trendy. Most guys who hate it have never used one. I have one on my board, it's never leaving.
I had this pedal in the 90s and recorded direct to my 4 track tape machine. Sounded like NIN lol. Tried it with my band (solid state crate half stack) and hated it. 30 years later I’m about to go into my local music shop and buy it again! Cheers
You can pull more gain if turn the level to about 10 o clock and turn the dist to 3 pm..an scoop out the mids..puts out less noise
Proud owner of an MT-2 3A... Everyone should own one... (Use it as a pre-amp though)🤘
Yeah i bought one of these MT-2 3A pedals recently, paid £90 for it brand new which is oddly way cheaper than the standard one for some reason. And for those wondering what it is, it's the 30th Anniversary model in black and grey
I recommend if your amp has an fx loop, to put the pedal though the fx loop, pretty much works best as a preamp pedal
Great point. I think Ola delved into this a little on his review of it.
i still have mine from 1989 i think...its my fave and always will be
Nice!! I got rid of my original one😿found one in a pawn shop a few years ago. I love the various VST versions that are out there!
Such a cool sound, I love the dynamics of it
One reason why I purchased a Boss ME-80 was to experiment with the MT-2 emulation to see if it could be reconfigured to sound like a Tom Scholz distortion generator. Considering it only has one control for all four EQ settings, I was frankly amazed that my main issue with that particular sound was how it didn’t really clean up when I rolled back the volume on my guitar. Ironically, that’s almost what I heard in your demo.
I always dug it. It made cheap solid state combos sound at least halfway to the brutality of an Engl or something
Wow you play amazing and I am buying this pedal soon.
Awesome thank you, it's an awesome pedal 👌🤘
Awesome playing!!!
Why thank you 😎🎸
@theguitarmanifesto which did you prefer / most versatile between the metal zone and mega distortion ?
I prefer the mega distortion, it suits my style of music more, rock, grunge etc.
I never would have thought Boss has a hated pedal by guitar players... To my ears when you're playing power chords you're a few effects away from the Boston tone! 😂 I think it's a great sounding pedal I wouldn't pass it up it's a Boss! 😂....great video Manifesto!
I know right, some people 🤣😎 yeah it's got that thick marshall tone, just need to play with a Les Paul.
Thanks for dropping by Elvis 🎸👌
i bought one used for 20 bucks, i think i stole it, pedal is awesome!!
Bargain 😁
I paid $50 for mine 10 years ago and I love the pedal.
I just bought a MT-2 Metal Zone.... It took a minute, but I tweaked around with the EQ until I got it sounding exactly like I wanted. I fuckin LOVE this pedal!!!
Killer pedal 💯👌
Its really good I got one used for like 35 bucks I plsy a lot of 90s rock and classic rock. I can get what I need out of it. Very over looked I never understood why.
lovely pedal, I use it in a old Marschall amp...metal sounds 90' 🤘🤘🤘
Ooh bet it kicks 🤘🎸
Metal zone is so much fun, it’s great for me people get rid of them for cheap
Love mine. So did the chemical brothers and millions of others. Nothing else has such eq
Just a cool pedal 😎👌
I use one with my synth. Sounds great!
bet that sounds awesome
When I was a teen, we bought what we could and tweaked everything. Didn’t have the luxury of the Internet and buying a wide range of effects from all over the world. That said, we found good use for this pedal.
This pedal definitely has some uses but I don't think it would ever be my main tone. I don't think it deserves all the hate it gets.
this and the metal muff go hand in hand
can anyone help and how to figure out certain fuzz sounds with the rams head big muff?
Twiddle the dials
i got mine few weeks ago and at the first point i was gravely dissapointed.
But.. when i noticed how are knobs sensitive and makes big difference on sound i was surprised how it can actualy works very agressive.
Awesome pedal 👌🎸
I may be somewhat new at this, but I've been reading a lot of negative things about this pedal, and I just don't get it. I've been frontloading this thing since I got it a few months ago, and though it takes some fiddling to find the right tone for it, I've been able to record some good stuff with it
This is why I always make my own options on gear, it's an awesome pedal 💯
This got more hate than the Grunge pedal?!!! both sound cool to me, "don't judge a pedal by its cover" 😂🎸 ya you got some cool squeels out of the first half of the demo, def maybe fun to look for funky odd pedals to review. Cheers :)
To be fair it's a close one 🤣 I have also covered the Grunge pedal on the channel. Both pedals actually sound great once dialled in.
I think J said it all well said
I played Mary Had A Little Lamb and it sounded killer dude, and I can't even play a guitar!!!😁
Sounds good
Underated pedal 💯
Can't figure out what's truly so wrong with this pedal...? This sounds quite robust which is difficult sound to get with amplifiers main set up or with many crunch/O-D/Distortion pedals alone. Might buy one some day or something similar... :PP
There's nothing wrong with them. Infact it's probably the best metal tone a guitar player on a budget will get.
The pedals garbage reputation has just followed it from the 90's, which consisted of every wannabe Metallica 16 year old, plugging it in their amp (not their FX loop as recommended) and just cranking every knob to 11, while playing a $140 Peavy guitar, usually through an equally crappy amp - in a basement with just concrete walls and floor.
Everyone I know who has ever played them with decent gear and a bit of patience and knowledge got then to sound just fine as far as distortion pedals go.
very interesting.
🤔🤔🤔
Very!
sounds great
It's an awesome pedal 🤘💯
It sounds better through the effects loop,.
my marshall gov 2 has its knobs set up simluar
Another great pedal 👌
If you hate it you don’t know 💩
Sounds ok to me.
Maybe because it is overshadowed by a legendary Boss HM-2....
Could be 👌
This was my first guitar pedal and you know what?? I genuinely hate it so much 😂
🤣🤣 the marmite of the pedal world
You just think you do😂 turn those knobs . In the words of Jimi find yourself first dont be a fool
😂
My favourite setting was off. :)
That was a joke... I can see a place for that pedal, but I think it's definitely a "colour" that will always be bold.
🤣🤣 every pedal has a place 💯👌
So the most hated pedal which also the most sold pedal ever ... what's wrong with this picture? Food for thought.
Don't blame me blame the internet 🤣🤣
so far i have seen zero videos or reviews that hate it - it seems to me that “most hated pedal” is a freely invented story. :D
More from the days of forums not UA-cam 🤣
I love mine !
