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.

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.

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

The stock version of this pedal is pretty cheesy in my opinion. However the Twilight Zone mod that Robert Keeley does to them is really amazing, turns it into a great distortion pedal.

I used one at a gig once where i had to lend someone elses amp/setup and i hated it, it had a lot of bass and gain but it just sounded like ****, no tone to it, i didnt get to play around with it but it sounded pretty scooped too, which made me hate it more, metalzone is not the way to go for kicking up your rhythm sound, it would just ruin it.
