The Boss Metal Zone (MT-2) is the infamous high-gain distortion pedal — massive gain, a powerful 3-band EQ and a scooped, buzzsaw voice. Loved and mocked in equal measure, it’s all over ’90s/2000s metal. Its extreme EQ means the mid control makes or breaks the tone: pull it out for classic scoop, push it up to cut in a mix.
