Since its release in 1991, the iconic MT-2 Metal Zone remains the king of high-gain distortion pedals for guitarists worldwide. Over a million units have been sold—and that number continues to grow. Its thick, saturated sound is perfect for metal genres, while also delivering powerful rhythms and cutting solos in other styles. With an incredibly wide tonal shaping range and ultra-smooth sustain, the versatile MT-2 provides a rich array of distortion voices for any musical setting.

Features:

• Iconic high-gain distortion pedal
• Innovative dual-stage gain circuit produces thick, tight distortion tones with smooth, singing sustain
• Three-band active EQ with semi-parametric midrange offers intense tonal adjustments, with up to 15 dB of boost/cut on each band
• Easily achieves massive, satisfying sounds at any volume level

Innovative Dual-Stage Gain Circuit
Under the hood, the MT-2 uses an innovative analog circuit design to deliver its rich, heavy voice. Two gain stages are configured in series, with the first stage providing mid-focused clarity that feeds the more aggressive character of the second stage. Carefully tuned pre- and post-distortion filtering (seven stages in total) ensures a tight and well-defined sound at any setting, without muddiness or haze.

Shapeshifter
The MT-2's advanced tone-shaping capabilities go far beyond most analog drive pedals, allowing you to dial in everything from chugging, mid-scooped rhythm mayhem to thick, cutting tones that slice through the densest mixes. The post-distortion Low, Middle, and High knobs offer +15 dB cut or boost to perfectly match your guitar and amp type, or to create entirely new tones. The midrange is the heart of any guitar’s voice, and the MT-2 provides a variable control to adjust the frequency in this critical band from 200 Hz to 5 kHz.
