Dear Boss HQ employees, i just wanted to say lately you are working with the right musicians to promote your products. Cheers!
What happened to Johnny DeMarco? :-D
@@XlouietheflyX lol
XlouietheflyX that should be the original post for this mini thread lol so great
Boss has always had great players just cause there past players had a cheesy style don’t mean they ain’t good. Alex Hutchins was a great jazz fusion guy while demarco was a knowledgeable one and Robert marcello great neoclassical guitarist and josh munday did great job promoting, there stuff I think the new players Are great but there one dimensional, yeah they do great riffs but once get past that it’s like ehh and they all seem the same and yeah it also awesome to see boss fixing their shit sounding distortion
@@whydoesstevietonlylikefema2973 I'm so fed up with those fast little semi random licks put in riffs in modern metal... I'm old, man. XD where's the groove.
Good to see rabea massad and those other guys giving us a great demo of this pedal
I noticed you mentioned Rabea first, lol. He is a favorite of mine these days. Everything he plays sounds amazing.
@@onevoiceinc he sure is a serious talent on the axe. He is such a well rounded guitarist who has got a great understanding of improvisation and scale work cheers ☺☺
and we have to remembee that this pedal was in the fxloop return of great tube amps :)
*Massaad
I guess I'm old school. I was thinking the exact opposite. In my day we listened to bands that wrote songs instead of UA-cam guitarists who just play endless riffs devoid of any context or emotion.
Yessss!! After 10 years of searching I finally have my Metallica, Iron Maiden and Slayer sound! Thank you so much!
It sounds so massive and crushing, I love it! I've always loved this pedal, idgaf what anyone says about it.
OMG they actually did it...I never thought it was possible...boss is now my favorite pedal company
Can't wait to get this pedal! No matter what people says I always loved metalzone!
Until today I don’t know why ppl diss the original MT. That pedal was the one I wanted back in my school day and couldn’t afford one. I could only rent it when jamming at the studio. After buying the MT-2W, It took me back to my younger days. I freaking love the MT2!!
John Browne is absolute monster when it comes to technical aspects. Andy James - my solo hero.
I never thought the original metal zone was bad, but this pedal has a boutique quality to it! Keep the waza craft series pedals coming, boss!
Glad Captain 80's Shred White Sock Man was able to make an appearance.
Lol who is he? He rocking the highwaters like no business!
Joss Allen
@@alejandrocisneros7442 That's Joss Allen. He has his a channel called 'Guitar Bros Demos'.
The awesome Joss Allen
Man I thought he was Cuco the singer of Lo Que Siento. I was like, "shit he shreds!", and then realized glad to know that he's Lord Joss Allen
I have a Metal Zone and people ask me how I get some sounds from it, and I tell them "learn how to command the demons" \m/
Only a portal to hell can release all the goodness!
Rein in the beast
A friend of mine has recorded an entire album using BOSS effects and many webzine complimented him for The clear guitar sound. 🖤
link? channel name?
I love demo videos like this that show a lot of inspirational riff and licks. Definitely killer sound. Great job Boss!
Owww yeaahh Rabea Masaad and of course, John Browne.
Do you know which guitar is playing John Browne ...just freakin awesome !!!
I got the answer zooming a lil bit = MAYONES Duvell Q
Yes it is Mayones Duvell, John endorsed by Mayones..
Do you know which tune he's playing at 4:12 ?
20+ years ago it was my dreamest pedal, today... is my lifetime choice.
Impossible to hate Boss pedals. I'm a big fan.
Johnny DeMarco would be having a heart attack demonstrating this thing. We need his demo now Boss!!!!!!!
Andy James and John Browne demoing this makes me want it more 😍 used to literally avoid these in shops - thanks WAZA 😏
Rabea is like a midas tone king; he has such a great taste when it comes to distorted sounds... not to mention his harmonically riffing capabilities
I wasn't reading the amps at first and when Rabea went up, I was like "damn, that sounds remarkably like a 5150!" and then I read it and just went "oh". It sounds pretty rad! Also super cool to see Rabea and John in the same demo.
Getting John Browne is always a win. Great stuff here.
Boss you guys are my God lords of tone all hail the mighty Roland corporation one company to rule them all my first boss product was the me 70 then I got the dd20 and I just picked up the power stack I Will be loyal to your brand for the rest of my life
Joss Allen, Alex Hutchings and Andy James for the win - amazing.
i legit love the sound, i will get one when i can
Hi Boss people...great to see that you are working with Rabea....great guitarist...all the best
After everybody have understood that it should be connected to the RETURN input of your amp, the Boss releases ver.2.0 😹😹😹
Should've seen this coming. Everyone suddenly making videos of the old one and most of them hinting about hoping a new version would come out. This wasn't made in under one month, it's been in the works for many months ago.
Well, the original manual clearly told you to put the pedal in front of the amp. So it's completely Boss' fault if everyone thought the Metal Zone was crap !
I put it in front of my amp and EQ properly..I think most people don't know how to EQ
ua-cam.com/video/2_YK-iwQ9Vo/v-deo.html
Everyone is complaining over here that it should have been the HM-2. While I agree; it really should have been the FZ-2.
Yes it should HM and FZ
I find it funny how every single person I've seen demo this thing find the need to play metal mainly because it's the pedal's name.
But look at what bands like Placebo did with the original version of those pedals back in the 90s-mid 2000's. Their guitar tone was fucking incredible.
I want to see demos of styles like theirs that aren't just shredding and metal and as brutal as you can make it. There's more ways to use this pedal than just "shred mode" "breakdown mode" and "chug mode."
That said, I'm glad you guys dropped this new version of the pedal. Can't wait for mine to arrive.
This actually sounds really good
Now waiting for:
HM-2w
SG-1w
FZ-2w
Would insta preorder HM-2w.
also MT-2w
@@traslasilla bruh
@@iagopedroni2451 loooool I mean ML-2w .....ñ_n
@@traslasilla Whaddya mean pal, Metal Core is still a relatively new pedal, why would they do a waza version?
Been playing metal since 78 and have used the original mt-2 since it came out. Have it boosted with a boss super overdrive pedal and it cant be beat on a tube or solid state amp.... The original gets a bad rap but if you know how to use it, it still the best!!
Ive had mine since 2002!
Those dudes kick ass!! The first dude is killer on guitar!!! Just wowww 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
The best kept secret to me is the boss mega distortion. Frickin love that pedal!
iv always wondered about the mega, have to try out one of these days
@@arnyarny77 I say just buy one used on eBay. If you don't like it you'll definitely get your money back if you decide to sell it
It is a killer pedal. I agree it's highly underrated, like many boss pedals
Can't wait for Ola's demo
I love and used BOSS since 1994 and still stick to them.
now my age 25 start from 90' this pedal is awesome until now almost same in my age! great!!!
What?
5:19 fuck yes andy james!!!! my hero!!
Riffs from Monuments-guy on this video are totally awesome, so catchy and crisp
The legend is back!
The beast is back. Thank you Boss!
Hey, I know that dude!!! What's up, Rabea??? Great sounding pedal!!!
Rabea!!! Right on!!! You demonstrate pedals good brother.
Great! i did my own mod in my old Metalzone, but i have to try this new Waza with my setup.
Rabea is a great player btw.
AWAKENING OF THE LEGEND!!!
Terima kasih banyak, sangat bermanfaat, salam kemal, saya darai bandung jawa barat indonesia ❤❤❤
I had old one when it was made. This thing is waaay better sounding that first one.
I really love the loose low end.
That little pelican case for a footstool is the real Metal MVP.
Wow gotta try one out for max1um dj0nt
Man, Alex Hutchings is a beast on guitar.
Fuck yeah.... I'm gonna stack 10 of these monsters! Leave you clowns in my tone wake..
But seriously, actually sounds great.
I'm not sure I'd buy this pedal but I'm curious of the new voicing. Back in the day, the Metal Zone was killer.... then one day I decided that I didn't like the fact no matter what gear you paired with it, you knew for a fact that the player had a Metal Zone because it dominated their tone. A little over 20 years later I've decided dominating your tone is not always a bad quality in a pedal if it gets the sound you want. I can get decent tones from my original MT-2, but it's not the sounds I typically go after these days unless I'm playing mid to late 80's or early 90's hard rock/metal... even then, I've got other prefered gear, but it does the trick.
Andy James the shred monster in the end!!
Man andy james is legend.
The madmen did it!
Really increadble sound
Andy James + metalzone 2 = METAL
This is killer!
2:14 John Browne :O
Hola quería opinar sobre este pedal q jamás en la vida va pasar de moda por más q salgan mil pedales nuevos para el metal más duro como q pueda existir, aunque sea superado por otros pedales, este pedal es un pedal ícono glorioso de los 90 y estamos en 2022 y millones de bandas q son consagradas y bandas anders q no son conocidas y q tienen mucha trallectoria siguen usando este pedal , hay bandas q tienen Miles de pedales y al lado una pedalera multiefectos, pero siempre el metal zone y el Wawa están ahí para sorprender y darle pawer a toda banda q sea distorcinada , en fin , mi nombre es Xavier , saludos desde Argentina ,,,,,,
Já tive metalzone. Pedal meio injustiçado. Um poko difícil de tirar alguns timbres mas sabendo regular e aplicando de maneira correta fica bom sim. Abraços e bends
Tem que aprender inglês pra viralizar mundialmente, Bertoloto.
kkkkkkk
@@Rafaelguitarplayer antes escrevi em inglês irmao. Mas não o gringos não sabiam q eu era brasileiro kkk... Mas a ideia tem lógica tb. Grande abraço irmao
Primeiro aqui tbm kkkkkk
todo brasileiro pobre e metaleiro a primeira coisa que faz é comprar uma tagima, um baguinho da meteoro e um metalzone
sei bem como é isso hheuheuheueuheuheueuhe
@@jean88603 As vezes sim kkk. Abração
those riffs at 0:22, 2:00, 2:26. 3:43 and 4:10 are just so fucking good, i love the melodic stuff in them that shit is bussin fr
1:16 is Rabea using this riff in a song somewhere? I really like it.
It seems the trick with the MT-2 is keep the DIST knob below 12 o'clock. I have had this pedal for a long time and it took me awhile to figure this out. Running the pedal with the DIST knob around 9 o'clock is about right for me. Any higher, and it's just too fizzy.
OK Boss Marketing Department, you got me. I'm gonna buy it) GJ.
You guys remember back in the day when blues players were making demos for the metal zone? OMG and lol that was sooo funny!!!
Rabea rules the dude is so cool
very moderately convinced. I will stay with my MXR Fullbore metal which has an integrated noise gate and spits twice more !!!
Awesome classic guitar efek upgrade..
damn, I bought the mt-2 version... I wish I had known before
i'd pay money to see Ariel Posen play one these. You guys had him in studio!
I'm here because of John Browne.
All great but I liked the first the most
Boss getting back on top
0:05 sounds fucking awesome 🤘
who's he? and song

song: The Watch
artist: Monument
Hands up I like the original Metal Zone. So this is amazing. Why do you make me so poor BOSS? Beans for tea again.
Sounds great to me. Awesome.
4:09 Se loko Metal Zone é vida!
Please, dude, what's this song?? ))
@@valikoovakh Looks like it`s all one song: The riff ua-cam.com/video/snLE7bnwqac/v-deo.html
I got the MXR Fullbore Metal pedal a few months ago, now that I'm seeing this, I just might trade it in for this one, OR even keep both, but this one sounds wicked! METAAAAAAL!
Man the fullbore is far and away the worst pedal I've ever tried. You should definitely trade up for tgis one or even a modded mt2
The MT-2 has a preamp character and it's best if used as such, direct into a power amp with and overdrive pedal in front so it would be guitar>overdrive>mt-2>EQ (maybe) >power amp>cabinet or cabinet sim
behold! the rise of boss metalzone
Thank you Ola 🙏
This is what happen when you pissed off and awaken the BOSS with that stupid Metal Zone meme.
wow! never though that I would came across my fellow Indon here
hahaa
they should pin this comment
Nope..metalzone still shit.. Trust me.. I'd prefer any behenger distortion pedal then metalzone
Syahid Jaafar awesome do the demo so we can all love it!
Craig Nicholls from The Vines even named a song after his favourite pedal - metal zone :D
5:19 Awesome, Andy James
Oh hey... A brand-new Metal Zone for everyone to make great fun of :-)
Funny how this Waza-fied version works so well with the Katana.
este es el mejor pedal que he tocado por años digan lo q digan
For me this is a great pedal. I don't care some people says it sucks. All deppends on your style and amp setting
didnt expected that..nice ending
John Browne monstro demais 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
2:13 what a wrist !!
Yeah man, this is John Browne from Monuments. Watch him playing song Doxa at EMG TV. Best downstroke in the world.. just my 2 cents
Holy crap that bearded dude sounded so great that i almost forgot he was using a Metal Zone
The same, and great, Big Bee!
A review with this, G3 and precision drive will be interesting!
Cool nu metal riff at the start 😝
Why why? I just order the old version yesterday 😂😂😂😂😂
Send it back. No harm no foul!
I feel ya man, I just bought a used one last week.
It's legendary meme pedal. Worth to keep.
@@99percentmusic78 😂 well let's get the new one too
@@diazzsama of course bro! Boss make a great stuff
Would-be shredders take note: the good sounds you can get out of a Metal Zone are all with the Distortion control set * below 12 o'clock *. The Metal Zone's weakness has always been that it allows people to go to extremes that might sound "heavy" in the bedroom, but fail epically in the context of a band. Just because "it goes to 11" doesn't mean it sounds * best * at 11.
I'm laughing though, because unlike the other Waza Craft pedals that seek to recreate an old pedal in Standard Mode, even BOSS realises no one wants to hear the original MT-2, so they changed the sound of it even in Standard.
that would be why none of these demos sounded heavy...... also other non boss non trendy hipster demos of this pedal sound identical to the old metalzone when the eq bandwidth is switched to standard
Good call. Also, I have always had better success with these pedals in the fx loop used like a preamp. To me, it sounds immensely better.
Gemma Seymour, sure for the most part; however, the pedal is best used as a preamp. Now the pedal really shines... 🤘
Whatsup Kid, if you have an FX loop in your amp plug into it and hear it for yourself. And yes the Mt2 is a distortion pedal. But I assure you, it will change the color of the sound your getting vs plugging in before the pre. Hence why I made the comparison to a preamp. 🤘
I never had any complaints or problems with it playing live. I set it on about 8 and kick it in with a BOSS SD-1. Sounds great in the studio and live. Use it in the effects loop and it rocks. Then if you really want to do some special shit with it. Kick its ass and try to tame the beast with a compressor sustainer.
A dream pedal, i dont understand why so many people hate it
