Pédale d'Effet du Jour: Boss MT-2W Metal Zone Waza Craft

For over 25 years, the MT-2 Metal Zone has been one of the most popular and influential compact pedals in the BOSS lineup, with overall sales that are second only to the venerable DS-1 Distortion. Made in Japan and infused with Waza Craft mojo, the MT-2W takes the iconic stomp to new levels of tonal range and versatility. Standard mode delivers an evolved version of the original mid-focused Metal Zone tone, while Custom mode introduces a fresh, wide-ranging voice that’s perfectly suited for today’s diverse high-gain styles.

Features include:

• Innovative dual-stage gain circuit built with discrete analog components
• Standard mode updates the famous MT-2 Metal Zone sound with improved clarity and lower noise
• Custom mode delivers full-throttle gain tones with wider range, increased dynamics, and tighter low end
• Powerful three-band EQ provides intense sound customization with High, Low, and sweepable Midrange and up to 15 dB boost/cut on each band
• Premium buffer for clean and clear tone when bypassed
