"Truly versalite - the best boss pedal"

Feature:
yup, this thing is truly stuffed with knobs, and that lets you get so much out of it... I positively LOVE the mid freq knob, with a single twist I can generate a whole new tone - something impossible to do on other pedals...

Quality:
silly question... this is a boss - the true tanks when it comes to pedals. think it would survive a flight down the empire state building... but do not demand a replacement if I'm proved wrong ;]

Value:
a sick pedal, the most versalite thing I've ever played on, and I'm pretty sure that when you master the knobs, you're gonna get some really grand distortion out of this stompbox

Desirability:
a nice combination of black and orange... but, like with people, never go for looks alone. and this pedal does have good stuff inside :]

Sound:
i daresay, this is boss's most versalite compact pedal... even though it is called the metal zone, this stompbox can be used for almost everything - from funny sounding (this isn't an overdrive pedal after all), 'snarling' overdrive through nice fuzz and rock sounds up to sick roaring distortion plus just about anythign in between. even though you can generate sick quantities of distortion, you won't lose your playing dynamics, and it's easy to play tearjerking solos as well as shredfests on this as well. the only problem is that it hisses a bit, but hey - what are noise gates for? ^^ still gets a perfect 10, because it outstrips every other pedal I know by far

Ease of Use:
it's tough to get started here, since you have so many knobs... yup, praising the knobs, and now telling the knobs off, but it is a difficulty that one overcomes rather easily. once you know what some knob combinations do to your tone, you take off...

Overall:
ahh, this is one grand pedal, and I guess I'll be with it for a long time... and if, by some miracle, I manage to wear this out, I'm getting a new one ^^

"Best Metal Pedal Ever!"

Quality:
I have been using my Metal Zone MT-2 pedal for 7 years and now it is starting to fade. When I say 7 years, I mean it has been plugged in and turned on for 7 years with very few interruptions. I like to have my equipment ready in a heartbeat so I never turn it off. I was expecting it to burn out about 5 years ago and have been astounded by the durability of this pedal.

Sound:
Can't beat the saturation. If you want sustain and crunch, this is where to find it.

Overall:
If there's a better metal pedal out there, I wanna know about it, but it would take a lot of convincing before I would even think of buying a different one.

"An english lad's rview of the BOSS MT-2 METAL ZONE PEDAL"

Feature:
the equalizer onit is very cool u can adjust it to give u the more bass-ey sound of realy tinny distortion and the distortion control knob is excellent when whacked all the way up!

Quality:
very good quality, built very solid u could jump on it to switch channels and it would still be in excellent condition

Value:
very good value for money when it can do more than a bog standard distortion pedal, well recommended to any metal/rock guitarist who wants a distinctive quality sound to there playing

Desirability:
the sex appeal(hahahha) of this pedal is very cool, its a nice shape not bulky or massive, easy to use, looks good, and very durable and strong. i have only had mine about a week but i have it firgured out and there is many things gonna come of this pedal with my band writin new material it will be very handy!

Sound:
this is a very cool pedal...u can get some funky distortion noise from black sabbath to nirvana to the murderdolls. a very good pedal for all your metal and rock needs.

Overall:
i would always have this pedal if i burn it out or whatever i will always purchase another one, even if its stuck in my bedroom or sumwhere i willalways keep it because it is a great sounding pedal and is much use by me already after only owning a week!!!

"FREE BEER!! Now I have your attention, read my review"

Quality:
The pedal is practically made like a tank. Indestructable.

Value:
I think that the pedal is reasonable priced for what it is.

Desirability:
The pedal looks built and designed to rock, straight away. And this is what it does. Its design fits perfectly into the music category it was made for.

Sound:
The sounds of this mega distortion pedal are imense. As soon as I tryed it out in the shop, I knew this was 'the one'. Its so diverse and gives you absolute control over your mid range, including frequency. This is why it is so diverse, and with its dual gain circuitry you can really get the crunch of heavy metal music.

Overall:
The only problem with this product is, that you can never go back. Ever. After you use this when playing with just you're amp distortion you feel an imense lack of distortion and treble.

"The Boss MT-2 will rock your world."

Sound:
I have used this pedal almost every time I've picked up my axe. The sound that this pedal can produce goes for miles. It sounds unbelievable. I've tried a few other pedals but I haven't received a heavier or cleaner sound than what I got from this pedal (the MT-2). If you need help setting up your pedal settings, here is a good set up: Level: 5 Hi: 5 (in the middle or at 0) Low: 6 (a little more clockwise or at +3) both mids at 5 and Distortion anywhere past 6 (depends on the quality of your speaker and guitar.)

Boss MT-2 Customer Review

Quality:
Like any Boss product it's like a tank

Desirability:
It's a must need pedal no other can compare to it yet

Sound:
It's good alone, but so much better when you throw an EQ pedal along with it.

"it's good overall .. just some set backs"

Feature:
the power supply didn't come with it (a battery did though lol)

Quality:
it's good quality..it's durable..well made and solid.. it's tight lol

Value:
i dunno if it was worth the 90 bucks i payed for it..but it's still good

Desirability:
yeah i wanted it!

Sound:
Maybe it's just my amp or somethin, but like i get a ton of feedback as soon as i stop strummin my guitar with the pedal on, unless i have the guitar volume (the volume knob on the guitar) down.

Support:
has a 5 year warranty and i paid an extra 20 bucks for an extra 2 years just incase..

Overall:
maybe if it weren't so feedback-y ... but then again it may just be my amp :-p

Boss MT-2 Customer Review

Feature:
ahh the mid controls can have u going for hours, u can really experiment with the eq,

Value:
tad expensive in my eyes

"Tears of God"

Feature:
It basically has almost everything I need except better tone.

Quality:
I like the look of this pedal, it has the "dark energy" feel.

Value:
I don't know. THis is the very first pedal i have used so far.

Desirability:
It looks good any way.

Sound:
It actually took me quit a while to get use to it. I use it with my Jackson KVX10 and my Fender Princeton 65 DSP. it sounded all right, but there is still something missing in the sound. There should be more tone, not just distortion.

Support:
It has 5 years of waranty.

Overall:
Not bad over all, but it can be a lot better.
