• The Metal Zone: A Milestone in High-Gain Stomps

  First released in 1991 and in continuous production ever since the MT-2 Metal Zone is loved by guitarists everywhere for its thick rich distortion and distinctive mid-focused character. Capable of producing a versatile range of heavy tones the MT-2s innovative dual-stage gain circuit has influenced legions of pedal designers through the years. Another standout feature is its groundbreaking three-band EQ with parametric midrange which provides deep sound-shaping ability for covering numerous high-gain styles. The pedal was also one of the first BOSS compacts with dual-concentric knobs offering expanded control without increasing size.

• MT-2W: Refined Tones with Waza Craftsmanship

  Like all Waza Craft pedals the MT-2W infuses an original BOSS analog design with artful refinements for enhanced performance and versatility. The dual-stage gain circuit features a discrete design with carefully selected components providing premium tones with increased clarity. The EQ has been refined as well with a smoother midrange tone and unique Q values specially tuned for the pedals Standard and Custom modes.

• Standard Mode: Enhanced Metal Zone

  Supported by the discrete components in the MT-2Ws dual-stage gain circuit Standard mode takes the Metal Zones famous mid-driven sound to the next level. The attack is even more responsive and the definition and clarity has been enhanced as well. Noise has been reduced too providing improved performance at ultra-high gain settings.

• Custom Mode: Wide and Tight

  Engaging the MT-2Ws Custom mode voices the pedal for a huge wide-ranging sound making it ideal for nearly any current heavy style. The tone is natural and open with increased dynamics and rounder lower mids than Standard mode. Even at the highest gain settings the low end remains full yet tight focused and well-defined perfect for chugging out low-tuned riffs. The sound also cleans up very nicely when reducing your guitars volume putting an extremely balanced range of tones under your fingers.

• Waza Craft: The Art of Superior Tone

  Since the beginning the engineers at BOSS have been committed to achieving the finest guitar tones using any technology necessary from old-school analog circuits to high-tech DSP. This enthusiastic spirit continues on with the Waza Craft series which brings you exceptional tone and touch response through carefully selected analog components refined circuitry and meticulous attention to detail. In Japan Waza is the term for art and technique and these special edition pedals proudly carry the Waza symbol to represent the pinnacle of BOSS design and craftsmanship.
