Definition of Boss MT-2
The Boss MT-2 Metal Zone is a distortion pedal released by Boss in 1991. Designed for heavy metal guitarists, the Metal Zone is characterized by its high-gain capabilities; thick, tight tone; and powerful semi-parametric EQ controls. The extreme sounds the pedal is capable of producing made it successful yet divisive upon its release. The MT-2 has sold over a million units, more than any Boss distortion or overdrive pedal except the DS-1, and has been in continuous production since its debut.
