Limited Edition 30th Anniversary MT-2 Metal Zone (MT-2-3A)

Million-Selling High-Gain Monster

To celebrate 30 years of continuous MT-2 production, we've created a limited edition version that's available throughout 2021. This commemorative pedal features gray lettering and a vintage silver thumbscrew for the battery compartment and comes in a box with a special 30th Anniversary logo.

Introduced way back in 1991, the iconic MT-2 Metal Zone remains the king of high-gain distortion stomps for guitarists around the world, with over one million sold and counting. Its thick, saturated sound is perfectly suited for metal styles and is also great for playing heavy rhythms and soaring solos in other genres.

With incredibly wide tone-shaping range and ultra-smooth sustain, the multifaceted MT-2 brings an array of rich distortion voices to any musical setting.

The world icon in high-gain distortion pedals

  • Iconic high-gain distortion pedal
  • Innovative dual-stage gain circuit produces thick & tight distortion sounds with smooth sustain
  • Three-band active EQ with semi-parametric midrange
  • Provides intense sound customization with up to 15 dB boost/cut on each band

Step into the Metal Zone

The MT-2 is BOSS’s second most popular drive pedal ever, after the DS-1 Distortion. A key to its enduring success is the ability to achieve dense, heavy crunch and singing sustain at any volume, providing an instantly inspiring experience for players at every skill level. And thanks to its smooth character and active EQ with semi-parametric midrange, the MT-2 works well with all types of guitar amplifiers, including clean “pedal platform” amps.

Innovative Dual-Stage Gain Circuit

Under the hood, the MT-2 employs an innovative analog circuit design to realize its rich, heavy voice. Two gain stages are configured in series, with the first stage providing mid-focused clarity that feeds the second stage’s more aggressive character. Carefully tuned pre- and post-distortion filtering (seven total stages) ensures that the tone is tight and well-defined at every setting, with no mud or flub whatsoever.

Shapeshifter

The MT-2’s advanced tone shaping goes far beyond the capabilities of most analog drive pedals, letting you dial in everything from chugging, mid-scooped rhythm mayhem to bold, cutting sounds that poke through the densest mixes. Post-distortion Low, Middle, and High knobs offer +15 dB cut or boost to perfectly match your guitar and amp type or craft entirely new tones. The midrange is the heart of every guitar’s voice, and the MT-2 provides a variable control to set the frequency in this critical band anywhere from 200 Hz to 5 kHz.

Like a hammer in your toolbox. It's a must have.
The Boss MT2 is a great pedal. Not the best distortion or metal pedal out there either. But in my opinion if you play Metal or anything like it then you're going to want to give this monster of a pedal a go ahead and never look back. Of course, like I said there are bespoke "stompbox" or pedal makers from all the States and from across the seas from Europe to Japan (Boss). But I think that every artist who's building a pedal board or collection should have this incredible, groundbreaking pedal in their arsenal. I own many expensive pedals and I own pedals I paid $30 bucks for but they give me the sound I want and that's all that matters. Yeah as a pedal freak I totally want you to go out and Google or go on Instagram and find some custom pedal makers but I also completely recommend you buy the Boss MT2 and always have a classic that will always perform, give you sound you want and never fail , ever. Definitely but Boss products. They're one of the best in their respective industry. They are also absolute legends for creating the Boss MT2 and many other must have, never fail Boss pedals that changed the scope of certain musics.
