Uh-Oh, It's The Inevitable Boss MT-2 Metal Zone Episode, Part One.
Daniel and Mick have never heard a Boss MT-2 Metal Zone before - true story. Yet The Interwebs is full of them however, so we thought we'd plug one in and see what we could learn. Nope, neither of us are metallers, hence what happens next... Lots of chugging, then Mick even plays some blues through it.
If nothing else, it's a pretty reasonable demo of the Metal Zone's undoubtable charms!
We also compare the Metal Zone with a JHS @ (AT) pedal for a bit of context, before deciding that, yes, Dan's going to mod the MT-2 for the upcoming Heavy Gain episode.
Thanks to Andertons Music Co for the loan - and sale! - of the Metal Zone.
Other pedals that feature briefly at the end include a Strymon Time Line and a Neunaber Immerse.
Mick is playing a Gibson Derek Trucks Signature SG and a Fender American Vintage ’62 Stratocaster.
Dan is playing a Gibson Custom 1958 Les Paul Standard.
The main amp today is the Mallard 18-watt Marshall clone through a Marshall 2061cx 2x12 cabinet.
As always, all pedal and amp switching and routing is handled by TheGigRig G2.

@jsalmons84 8 лет назад

People act like the Metal Zone is the worst pedal ever made. It is not by far. Is it great? No, but is it useable? Yes, in a very specific context. I personally don't think it sounds any better or worse than a DS-1 in a band setting and that pedal is on countless records. Is it a Rat, a Wampler or JHS? Hell no! But it's cheap and built like a tank. I had one in my bedroom when I was 14 and loved it. Then I grew up and realized it wasn't useable live. Not everything is made for blues or is suppose to be the most versatile pedal on the planet. Compared to the $219 AT, the $89 Boss wasn't that bad. Wasn't great, but wasn't as awful as people make them out to be. Plus, you can get them used for $50 all day. The fizzy top is a trademark of shitty metal tone to me anyway. Dimebag's tone had a fizzy top, but damn that dude was a beast and no one bitches about his tone.

@jsalmons84 8 лет назад

+Puertecitos68 where as the Rat's useable gain range is the whole spectrum. The filter control is super useable as well. Then there is enough output on tap to boost any amp into overdrive. The Metal Zone can sound good if you dial it in right, but it's gain range is useless. Most of the EQ controls are crap as well. You gotta really dial them in. The Rat on the other hand sounds pretty damn good no matter how you set it. However, tone is subjective and this is just my opinion from my experiences. On stage and in the studio, the Rat is a killer pedal. It cuts through the mix. It's been used on countless pro boards for 3 decades. The MT-2 just doesn't compare for me. I owned both.

@luislad 8 лет назад

Hi! I think the boss mt2 is a great pedal,for classic metal distortion,this is everything about personal taste, but I may disagree when you say it is not usable live and I will give you 2 examples,these band members I know them: watch?v=AwpenEf9RMQ - here the lead guitarrist is playing with the boss metal zone and the singer/rythm guitarrist is playng with the distortion set on a boss ME-70 or something,both guitars plugged into marshalls valvestate 100 watch?v=gf2CSUxqEP0 - here both guitarrists are using the metal zone... So do you think these bands sound bad live or have a bad tone? Cheers

@thisdyingsoul76 8 лет назад

People that bitch about Dimebag's tone don't understand what he set out to achieve. Pantera as of us remember them were going for a sound that was about making it sound like their gear was about to explode... It wasn't meant to sound pretty, because the music itself was not meant to sound pretty. It was meant to be like witnessing a bad car accident or train wreck... You didn't necessarily want to watch, but just couldn't help it.

@jsalmons84 8 лет назад

+thisdyingsoul76 absolutely! All I meant was it wasn't a conventional "good tone". Not knocking him or his sound one bit. In my mind, he was the best metal guitarist ever.

@brogoram 8 лет назад

or maybe it because of Pantera is a three piece?

@rikh78 8 лет назад

i've heard WAY shittier metal sounds on actual albums than that!

@ktulu193 8 лет назад

+Moltisanti I think the bar rep the MT2 gets is mainly due to the fact that it is used by unskilled teens with crappy practice amps, who don't know how to dial in a tone. Some of these tones are actually quite convincing in this setup, IMHO

@volcomstoned876 8 лет назад

@Roopkotha 3 года назад

Me too. Actually you guys made it sound awesome! I've seen videos where metal guitarists made fun of this pedal. You guys sounded better than some metal players even. Maybe most people don't know how to dial this pedal and you did a great job there.

@TomasLNannestad 4 года назад

@thedddemon 8 лет назад

I'm quite pleased by the fact that you guys immediately spotted the "cocked wah" inherent tone of the MT-2. Most people think it's scooped, which isn't. I've had the pedal in my professional rig for more than 10 years now and if you know how to dial it in right, you can get unique stuff out of it. Cheers guys.

@dcp10200 8 лет назад

+thedddemon In high school when I was trying out a bunch of guitars at my local music store, one of the guys who worked there had a metal zone plugged into an Egnater Tweaker 40 on the verge of break up and whatever way the pedal was set he managed to get an awesome metal rhythm tone out of it. Probably because the tweaker just takes pedal like a dream but it was a nice chunky riff tone none the less

@blacktoothfox677 2 года назад

EXACTLY! People push the gain too hard. Anything past 9 o'clock is... a swarm of awful. But I adore its honk, its mid hump. It's an odd pedal, the mids seem boosted AND scooped, I don't understand exactly - but this pedal has for years been a wonderful creative partner - alongside some true respected classics of metal. The MT-2 is a staple in my recording set-up. But one must use one's ears, and live my the adage 'less is more'. Stay heavy, dddemon!

@spicyjuniormint 8 лет назад

You two may be grimacing, but this is the first time I've actually heard a metal zone sound half decent. Most of the time it sounds like someone pouring sand down a drain pipe.

@Vedmack 8 лет назад

+Nimal Crackers It is the amp. If you plug it into a solid state, entry level amp you will get your sand =) ps And hands of cause))

@whatyoumakeofit6635 7 лет назад

@ryanmccarter9859 8 лет назад

Actually, if I'm honest, I think the Metal Zone sounds pretty great here in a couple of cases. The EQ seems very powerful, so it seems kind of lazy to say it sounds bad. If you don't like how it sounds, just play with the EQ a little. The clipping is very hard, so its utility is of course going to be limited to metal and hard rock, but I don't think anyone else is going to be interested in it anyway. It seems kind of like a fuzz to me in the sense that it doesn't really sound "good" in the classic sense (like a pushed Fender or cranked Marshall sounds good), but it's just a cool, trashy sound. There's room for that kind of sound, imo.

@totallyfrozen 5 лет назад

Ryan McCarter Yup. 👍🏻 Well, it is a distortion pedal, not an overdrive, after all.

@adam872 8 лет назад

I thought the Metal Zone sounded pretty damn good at times actually. Not as good as the Angry Charlie, but few pedals do.

@dorianclini 8 лет назад

You've actually got amazing metal riffs in stock guys! That's amazing :D

@thedddemon 8 лет назад

The tone you had dialled in for the MT-2 @ 3:00 was divine. I wish you had left it on there for a while. It kicked the red pedal's bum easily.

@maximusgordon 8 лет назад

In all seriousness, after hearing this I don't think the Metal Zone is half bad. It's not for me, but I get its appeal. I think its reputation has been clouded by the endless droves of bad metal guitarists mindlessly chucking away on them at tasteless extreme settings at Guitar Centers and crappy venues for so many years.

@ThatPedalShow 8 лет назад

+Max Fisher I think it also has a lot to do with the gear either side of the pedal. Cheers Max :)

@maximusgordon 8 лет назад

@alfus89 8 лет назад

The guitarist in my pop rock band Brink Theory uses a Metal zone and refuses to get rid of it as it is used in conjunction with 2 other drive/distortion pedals to create his signature sound. I like how he uses it and think some people dismiss it as just a metal pedal but if you tweak it it can be very versatile.

@feliperippel2310 3 года назад

@strattac2264 8 лет назад

I used that pedal for a long time with the strats and teles and a couple of 65 Reverbs with the Fargen mod. Playing blues ock in a multiple guitar environment my sound was lost in the mix............... until................ I ran the metal zone into a Boss OD3, that's when the magic began for me. It cleaned it up a bit but kept the sustain and brought it forward in the mix... I love the show, first thing I look for on Friday. :)

@DrDizzleFrizzle 7 лет назад

This actually convinced me to look into getting one.

@KevPez-IS 5 лет назад

The Metal Zone works fine in certain contexts with VERY gentle touches to the EQ. The pedal gives you more fails to sound bad then good, but it can sound just fine.

The metal zone has a specific sound.. its not easy to dial in but once you do you can nail an 80s metal tone pretty easily.

If you're in a noise or experimental band, the MZ can be a great inexpensive way to get some really unconventional sounds out of your amp.

@ehdforlife 8 лет назад

I used to own the Metal Zone and the only real issue was there were so many setting possibilities that you could find some horrid tones if you weren't careful, but you could fine tune it enough and find some good metal tones for everything from metal to hardcore, to death. Too much to mess with though, if you want to just plug in and go.

@ithemba 3 года назад

I genuinely think the fact that so many bloody amateur guitar players had this as their first pedal ever and turned the knobs without an educated ear and the metal zone being so so easy to mess up the EQ, its the only real reason for the bad reputation this pedal gets. I mean, you can easily make any sound shit with an 8 band eq pedal as well, but nobody would ever suggest that a 8 band eq pedal sounded like shit, just because you pushed the phone-speaker frequency band far too much.

@Claimjumper55 8 лет назад

You guys are definitely out of your comfort zones with this one. Great idea bringing in Rabea, and have him bring a real metal guitar. This pedal is awesome for it's intended purpose and I own one. I exclusively use it for metal. I have an 80's Maxon SD9 for regular driven tones.

I like that you guys give all pedals a fair and thorough walkthrough, even with pedals you're sceptical about. It's an encouraging contrast to the bland "reviews" (totally not just a sales pitch) provided by Guitar World, who have an impressive record of making everything sound horrible. Also, I have to admit I was a little worried that this video might end up like The Captain trying to play Djent, but you two gentleman held your own, well done. I would love to pick your brains about creating an alternative/progressive rock setup inspired by the likes of Agent Fresco and Karnivool. I'm trying to sculpt a versatile tone portfolio inspired by these two bands. :) Looking forward to the episode with Rabea. :)

@thisdyingsoul76 8 лет назад

Wait a minute.... You guys actually got usable tones from that Metal Zone. Maybe now that I have decent guitars and a tube amp and 20+ years of learning how to shape tone; that might be worth revisiting. The metal zone of my youth is fizzy and nasty with entry level guitars and a solid state amp.

@thatoneguy1979 8 лет назад

I've gotten some really fun shreddy tones from my Boss Metal Zone through a Fender Hotrod Deluxe. (home use only) Just have to not scoop the mids super hard. For playing live I still rely on my Mesa Dual Rec with an Ibanez Tube Screamer at the front. Now THAT is a crushing tone my friends! Keep up the good work! -aaron

+Brian Bowersox or you get a pedal that sounds good and dosent need tamed. why fight your gear. get stuff that sounds good. it exists.

@LeftyF2003 8 лет назад

The MT-2 does what it does fairly well as long as you work within it's tonal range and you don't expect it to do low gain OD. I picked one up cheap in a pawn shop a few years ago for the occasional instances when I need that chugging metal sound for recording. I find it does best with a guitar loaded with high gain humbuckers and a solid state front end. I run it into an ADA MP-1 on a solid state clean setting into a Hughes and Ketner Red Box speaker emulator (active version) and it can do some great high gain sounds. It's a one trick pony, but the one trick is pretty good!

@joelcrow 8 лет назад

sounds great to me! and seems like a ton of fun!

@SCOREWIZARDSMUSIC 8 лет назад

I actually kind of like the scooped sound on the metal zone, maybe I am just remembering my middle school days.

@16cam2005 8 лет назад

I use it with the kids not totally scooped but probably on about 9 o'clock with the mid frequency a hair past 9 o'clock also with the low on about 4 o'clock and highs on about 2 o'clock and distortion anywhere between 12 and 3 o'clock and level at noon and with an eq pedal to shape it just a glitch and sounds great, almost seems like some metal zones sound a little different and just gota shape the eq knobs to get them to sound the same

@Albee213 7 лет назад

rule #1 with the mt2, never turn the gain past noon. rule number two, never turn the gain past NOON. rule number three, see rule one and two. rule number four, the lower the gain the better, try 20 to 40%. adjust eq to you likeing, if into metal speed pick the e string while adjusting the mid frequency but the mid must be boosted or cut while doing so.

@johnbuxton2529 8 лет назад
