Boss MT-2 Metal Zone Distortion Pedal

Boss MT-2 Metal Zone Distortion Pedal | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The Boss MT-2 Metal Zone is one of the most popular distortion pedals in BOSS's entire catalog — and among the most recognizable heavy distortion stompboxes ever made. Its unique dual-gain circuitry delivers insane levels of saturation, super-long sustain, and the heavy mids and lows that recall a full stack of overdriven amplifiers, all from a single compact stompbox. A 3-band EQ with semi-parametric midrange control provides serious tone-shaping depth — the kind of surgical frequency control that lets hard rock and metal guitarists dial in exactly the right amount of scoop, presence, and low-end weight for their specific rig and playing style. If you play hard rock or metal and the MT-2 isn't already on your board, it's time to fix that.

Product Overview

The MT-2's dual-gain circuitry is what separates it from standard single-stage distortion designs. By running the signal through two gain stages in sequence, the Metal Zone builds the kind of extreme saturation and sustain that a single gain stage simply can't produce — the second stage amplifies the already-driven signal for a cascading, compressed, harmonically dense distortion character that feels and sounds massive under the fingers. The result is the heavy mids and lows, the thick, sustaining note decay, and the wall-of-sound character that has made the MT-2 a staple on metal and hard rock boards since its introduction.

The 3-band EQ with semi-parametric midrange is one of the MT-2's most distinguishing and practically useful features. Where most pedal EQ sections offer fixed bass, middle, and treble controls, the Metal Zone's midrange section includes a Frequency control that allows the player to select which specific midrange frequency band is being boosted or cut — covering a range that spans from lower midrange warmth through upper midrange presence. This means the MT-2 can produce the heavily scooped, mid-cut sound associated with classic metal rhythm playing, or a boosted, forward midrange character for lead tones that cut through a band mix, or anything in between — all from the same pedal with no additional hardware. Combined with the standard bass and treble controls, this gives the MT-2 a genuinely wide range of distortion textures rather than a single fixed sonic character.

Ideal For

• Hard rock and metal guitarists who want the extreme saturation, heavy mids and lows, and sustain of a driven amp stack from a single compact stompbox
• Players who want the tonal flexibility of a semi-parametric midrange EQ for dialing between scooped rhythm tones and forward-midrange lead tones
• Guitarists building their first serious heavy tones board who want one of the most widely trusted and proven metal distortion pedals ever made
• Players who want dual-gain circuitry for the cascading, thick saturation character that single-stage distortion circuits can't replicate
• Metal and hard rock guitarists in Idaho Falls looking for a proven, affordable, industry-standard heavy distortion pedal

Key Features

Dual-Gain Circuitry
Two cascading gain stages build extreme saturation and sustain that single-stage distortion designs can't achieve — producing the massive, heavy, wall-of-sound character the Metal Zone is known for.

3-Band EQ with Semi-Parametric Midrange
Bass, Equalizer (with Frequency selection), and Treble controls give the MT-2 genuine tonal flexibility — the semi-parametric midrange allows the player to select exactly which midrange frequency band is being shaped, enabling scooped rhythm tones, forward lead tones, and everything in between.

Insane Saturation and Super-Long Sustain
The Metal Zone's extreme saturation levels and sustained note decay replicate the compressed, harmonically dense character of a full stack of overdriven amplifiers in a compact stompbox format.

Heavy Mids and Lows
The MT-2's tonal character is built around weight and heaviness — thick low end and a dense midrange that cuts through a band mix without thinning out at high saturation levels.

Rugged, Road-Ready BOSS Construction
Housed in BOSS's signature stomp-ready metal enclosure, the MT-2 is built to handle regular gigging and touring use without compromise.
