BOSS USED MT-2W WATARI Metal Zone

The iconic high-gain pedal that evolved as WAZA CRAFT.

The MT-2 Metal Zone has been one of the most popular and well-known pedals in the BOSS compact pedal lineup for over 25 years, and is the second best-selling pedal of all time, after the DS-1. The MT-2W is an evolved model that incorporates the spirit of "WAZA CRAFT" into the MT-2. The Standard mode further refines the original Metal Zone sound, which focuses on the mid-range frequencies, while the Custom mode creates a wide-range, superb distortion sound suitable for today's increasingly diverse high-gain scene.

Metal Zone: The timeless high-gain pedal MT-2
Since its release in 1991, the MT-2 has continued to captivate guitarists worldwide with its heavy distortion and uniquely characterized midrange sound. Its dual-stage gain circuit, which enables a wide range of high-gain sounds, has influenced many pedal builders as an innovative design. The groundbreaking 3-band EQ with mid-frequency control allows for detailed tone shaping, resulting in a variety of distortion sounds. Furthermore, the MT-2 was the first BOSS compact pedal to employ a dual-axis potentiometer for its wide range of sound shaping capabilities.

The Metal Zone MT-2W, refined by WAZA CRAFT.
The WAZA CRAFT MT-2W achieves a superb tone and sound shaping that matches today's diverse music scene by meticulously redesigning the original analog circuitry. The discrete dual-stage gain circuit employs carefully selected components, resulting in a refined and clearer sound. The EQ has also been completely redesigned and tuned from the ground up. Furthermore, the mid-range frequency response is optimized for both Standard and Custom modes, and switches between them accordingly.

Standard Mode: Metal Zone Reaches New Heights
The MT-2W's standard mode, with its newly discrete dual-stage gain circuitry, respects the Metal Zone's distinctive midrange sound while taking it to even greater heights. The resulting sound boasts high picking response and a clear, well-defined tone. Noise has also been reduced, making it a pedal that is easy to control even at ultra-high gain settings.

Custom Mode: A wide-range, tight, and supremely high-gain sound.
The MT-2W's Custom Mode offers a natural, wide-range tone suitable for today's high-gain scene and diverse playing styles. The mid-low frequencies are milder and more expressive compared to the Standard Mode, while the low frequencies maintain their definition even at high-gain settings, resulting in a crisp tone. It's also ideal for playing riffs on down-tuned guitars. Furthermore, its high responsiveness to guitar volume allows you to control the amount of distortion at your fingertips, enabling you to manipulate an unprecedented range of tones.

Condition: No problems with use. Accessories: Box, instruction manual.
