  • Versatile, crunchy, and wonderful.
I have heard much hate and much love about this pedal. I just got one today after blowing up my Boss distortion/overdrive pedal. I have spent an hour playing around with it both pre-amp and in the effects loop. And I have to say this thing is VERY versatile. I love it. Those who complain about a "can of bees", etc most likely don't understand it's eq settings. I certainly can make it sound tinny (crappy) but with small tweaks, it can sound thick, formidable, and downright nasty (BTW, I'm running it through my Fender Mustang GTX 100). ... show more

  • You have to know how to use it..
There are a lot of haters that will say its too fizzy and just a pedal for high school guitarists with crappy amps. If you dime it out, yes it sounds like hell. The eq section is actually really great. separate low, high and mid-frequency and level controls gives you more control than 95% of pedals in this price range. If you dial back the gain you can get everything from a warm hard clip overdrive to crushing chug or scooped squeally Dimebag stuff. The other thing I found is that if you use this as a preamp, that is directly to the power section of your amp through the effects loop return, it sounds way better. Something about an extra gain stage after this pedal just thins out the sound and accentuates the fizziness. ... show more

  • Sludge metal petal
A lot of people don't care for this pedal. I think it's great. What brought me to this pedal is that this is the pedal that was used for both acid bath albums and I love that sound rockish metal from Alice in chains to the melvins, this is a great pedal for those tones. Before this I was using a Jojo extreme and I just didn't care for it. It was just two modern, digital ,kind of souless. I think this pedal came out in 91,and sounds like it. If that's your cup of tea, I highly recommend it ... show more

  • Like a hammer in your toolbox. It's a must have.
The Boss MT2 is a great pedal. Not the best distortion or metal pedal out there either. But in my opinion if you play Metal or anything like it then you're going to want to give this monster of a pedal a go ahead and never look back. Of course, like I said there are bespoke "stompbox" or pedal makers from all the States and from across the seas from Europe to Japan (Boss). But I think that every artist who's building a pedal board or collection should have this incredible, groundbreaking pedal in their arsenal. I own many expensive pedals and I own pedals I paid $30 bucks for but they give me the sound I want and that's all that matters. Yeah as a pedal freak I totally want you to go out and Google or go on Instagram and find some custom pedal makers but I also completely recommend you buy the Boss MT2 and always have a classic that will always perform, give you sound you want and never fail , ever. Definitely but Boss products. They're one of the best in their respective industry. They are also absolute legends for creating the Boss MT2 and many other must have, never fail Boss pedals that changed the scope of certain musics. ... show more

  • One of the better distortion pedals
First of all I want to say I love a tube amp distortion. Overdriven tubes are just how its meant to be. I run a Randall G3 hybrid amp and it destroys any solid state I've used or heard. For recording I use a Peavey 5150 and its so sweet. Tubes are how guitar was meant to be heard. Recently I started playing with a band that required a dirty tone that I felt like could only be achieved through a pedal. There is absolutely nothing wrong with using distortion pedals, I used the DOD death metal for years when I first started playing. However, there is a downside. Go cheap and you get a piece of crap that makes your rig sound like an old AM radio, if you want something that sounds pro quality your going to shell out at least $250. Quality dist. pedals are not budget friendly. I chose the MT-2 because I know Boss makes a quality product and it was the pedal the other guitarist was using. It gives a variety of sounds. It can be set up for an overdriven light distortion sound or full blown high gain metal tones. The controls make it very tweakable and I have gotten a load of very nice sounds out of it. Read the included book, look up some MP3s over videos online and check out other guitarists' settings. It will help you tame this pedal into what you want. Perfect pedal for those not wanting to spend a whole lot. There are also mods you can buy and install in the pedal or buy preinstalled from certain dealers that open it up to even more shaping and make it more useful. I've seen a lot of complaints about the pedal sounding like nothing but fuzz. I must say learn how to shape sound, spend time dialing it in to your rig. Within 10 minutes I was pleased with the MT-2. I used it on my overdrive channel to push it harder and got a really thick, heavy distortion with a good response. I say the MT-2 is worth an investment if you're looking for a big distortion sound from a little pedal. Surely something guitarists should consider adding to their board. ... show more

  • You will still need the power cord to buy as this was one piece of equipment
I got the squier fender guitar kit and this was compatible and works fine. However you will still need the power supply cord as this was just one piece of equipment
