I have this built into my Boss me-50, but it's just too much distortion for my use. I don't think I have ever used it.

I have it, I don't know if it's screwing up or some cables are, but I haven't used it in a year or more. I like it for leads, but sometimes it just sounds way too crystallized and...fake sounding, for rhythm.

Try one of Stratdeluxers modified DS-1s. Might fit what you are looking for.

I had one but replaced it with a G2D Morpheus, which sounds bigger and smoother.

Re: BOSS metal zone MT-2 pedal???

It was a very popular "heavy" sound from a decade ago. Very distinct and what's great about them is: it don't matter what guitar you plug in, the result always sounds the same: Swarm of bees approaching

Re: BOSS metal zone MT-2 pedal???

I have an easy mod somewhere written down, it involves snipping two caps out of the circuit, replacing the two clipping diodes and placing a cap paralel with 'em. It will make it sound like a much smaller swarm of bees that are armed with tiny mesas.

It's either that or replacing just about everything on the board, mostly by better quality parts, some for different values for better control.

I could look it up if anybody's interested.

I've never owned one, but some of the worst tone I've ever heard came out of a guy using one. That isn't an end all experience by any means, but it sure made me wary of it. If you're looking for heavy distortion pedals, there are a lot of better options, IME and IMO.

Re: BOSS metal zone MT-2 pedal???

not sure, i use a boss ds-1 i havent tried the metal zone, but form what i gather is alot more distortion than my ds-1. Seems like a little too much distortion for what i was going for.

Re: BOSS metal zone MT-2 pedal???

While it's not really that related, it seems that the MD-2 and EMG-Hzs were destined to work together, I don't care what anybody says about either of them how bad they are, they kick ass together, the tone is so thick it's numbing haha.

i hate the metalzone...waaaay too trebly and artificial sounding... and even worse, it takes all the nuances of your picking...
