THE MEME IS OFFICIALLY DEAD NOW. THIS SOUNDS KILLER .

@LeviBulger 5 лет назад

I always hated the meme. There's a reason that it sells so much. There's just not many pedals that can get you an amazing tone for metal, assuming you use it correctly. I think people just like to hate on things and follow the shepherds who tell them things are bad. I admit I didn't like the pedal at first, but that was many many years ago when I was playing through a fender and diming the controls. Once someone showed me how to dial it in right and use the fx loop, my lowly HoT Rod Deluxe became a firebreather. And the closest I've ever gotten to a tone like Adam Jones in Lateralus, was an mt2 into a Marshall. It's spot on. Only the new vh4 pedal has as much punch and low mids. I fkin love Boss and love that the madmen actually did this just to say eff you and your memes!

@ontheroad579 5 лет назад

The VH4 is great. Pretty expensive though.

@LeviBulger 5 лет назад

@@ontheroad579 I know, I wish it were like 200 max. I had one for a little while but ended up selling it because it just took up too much space on my board and you had to use it in a loop to sound good. It's ok in front of the amp, but nowhere near as good as in the loop. Unfortunately, if you use it in the loop it has to be always on or used alone because you can't just bypass it and still use other pedals in the loop. It was a massive shortsight by Diezel. My band does a ton of covers of bands that use Diezels (tool, Metallica, etc) and honestly, the original mt2 (modded by analogman) into my JCM does it just as well or at least almost as well as the vh4 did. If this waza version is even a little bit better than my analogman, I will be extremely happy. Especially if the noise floor is lowered like I hear all the WAza pedals are with the "premium" components. I know that the SD1w is definitely quieter and does not suck tone as much as the original does, so I assume this one should be the same way.

@justingarcia7722 5 лет назад

Felix Blacksher yeah man! That’s the trick. Same thing for me years ago. Into the fx loop of a hot rod deluxe (btw the fx loop on that amp is excellent for preamp pedals, prob my favorite) and it was crazy sounding

@LeviBulger 5 лет назад

@@justingarcia7722 totally agree. The HRD is a very good platform for pedals and has a very good clean tone to boot. I would call it underrated, but I think most venues I've played end up having them in house more than any other amp. They're just so flexible.

@abdulbasyirmohddahalan3374 5 лет назад

@LeviBulger 5 лет назад

So glad they did this. I may have been one of the few people who actually thought the MT2 was really good. Most people probably didn't know how to use it. I know I didn't at first. But it has the most insane equalization, especially in the mids. It's really meant to be used as a preamp, either in the fx loop or in front of an already dirty amp with only as much gain as needed and nothing more. Usually this is like just a touch of gain with level volume up high. The mids EQ is where the magic really happens in the MT2. There are just not many pedals out there that can deliver such powerful lows and can get an exact mid-range frequency for metal. And it seems that this model's custom mode is much like the analogman modded mt2s, which nail a Diezel type of preamp tone (as close as you can get anyway outside of the vh4 pedal). Excellent stuff, Boss. Glad you guys keep on pushing the envelope and remaining among the best in the guitar business. I will definitely be buying one of these like tomorrow.

@cmonsterz 5 лет назад

Good points, Felix. I found that the original MT2 could work quite well if you combined it with certain types of amps. For example, when I hooked it up to a JC-120, it sounded very good. Hooked up to a JCM800, too much high-end/noise. Hooked up to a Fender, not half bad...IF the high end was pulled back a little and the distortion/gain was kept 60% or lower. Hooked up to an H&K Attax, it sounded remarkably good. In general, I prefer amp gain over pedal gain...though the Boss SD-1 Waza beefs things up wonderfully.

@abdulbasyirmohddahalan3374 5 лет назад

Felix the main problem is actually Mt2 is very nasal dist. If we tweak nicely then the nasal element is gone.mine.i put booster pedal after mt2 at setting.vol middle.tone middle and gain 0.or maybe tone is 0.and that the result is we get a blasting strat like tone.

@abdulbasyirmohddahalan3374 5 лет назад

Had to do a lot of tweaking of the settings but hell, it does the damned job & does it so so well...!!!

@sid35gb 4 года назад

I brought a standard Mt-2 for nostalgic reasons when I was getting back into guitar and quickly ran into the swarm of wasps issues which was a bit of a downer then I saw Ola’s video and discovered that It’s an effects loop pedal. I’ve now stopped running into the front and the loop filters out the wasps and it much easier to dial in a chunky sound this way and I still have ALL THE GAIN. I do recommend still using a a noise gate or noise reduction to keep it tight.😎

@adamwasthefirstman 5 лет назад

Definitely sounds better than the old one. Not that I had many complaints about it. I started playing guitar in 91 and it's not like there were great choices for high gain pedals at the time. The eq totally pushed it ahead of the pack. I would definitely like to see a shootout with the old one, but what you should really do is play it through a sterile solid state cheapo amp as that is definitely how most people back in the day had to employ it. Cheap tube amps weren't as easy to come by and it was the day of pristine clean to heavy distortion verse to chorus. In retrospect, playing it into a slightly overdriven tube amp would have obviously improved the sound significantly.

@thenotsoguitarguy9429 5 лет назад

To be fair, the Metal Zone was never a bad pedal. It just wasn't very plug and play. You kind of had to base your tone around it. The best luck I ever had with one (and I've totally gotten useful guitar tones out of them) required setting the amp knobs at noon, fiddling around with the pedal until I got close to what I wanted, and then using the amp eq to dial out what I didn't like. I will also admit that my metal zone tones worked better in a mix than they did on their own. I still have one around here somewhere. I might have to dig it out again and fool around.

@slightlyannoying3956 5 лет назад

I absolutely agree with your comment and i use mine daily for the past 10 years. Make everything neutral, tweak your MT-2 until you get the frequencies you want and then remove the unwanted ones through the amp. (in that sense i feel an EQ pedal would also work wonders, i have to try that out at some point)
