The Boss MT-2 Metal Zone Guitar Effects Pedal offers an all-analog upgrade to the generation-defining distortion pedal. The Standard mode provides an improved update to the original MT-2 sound with greater clarity while Custom mode modernises the timbre and gives greater polish with a widened frequency range improved dynamic response and tightened low end. The sweepable mid boost/cut still allows you to flick back and forth between old school mid-scooped metal tones and much fatter doomier mid-heavy sounds now just with an expanded range. This is complemented by the astonishing amount of gain this pedal can deliver.

Distortion Pedals
Distortion clips the waveform more firmly than overdrive, generating dense upper harmonics, longer sustain and a more compressed response. Circuit topology and filtering decide whether the sound is tight and focused, broad and aggressive, smooth or deliberately abrasive. Gain sets the amount of clipping, while pre- and post-distortion tone controls strongly influence low-end definition, midrange presence and high-frequency texture.

Analogue
The signal is shaped by continuously varying electronic circuitry rather than being converted into a digital effect algorithm. Component choice, operating voltage and circuit tolerances influence headroom, noise, clipping texture and the small variations in response between designs.
