The MT-2 is Boss’s best selling pedal and for good reason. It absolutely nails the tight compressed distortion required for modern rock sounds. However, despite this the pedal has a nasally sound and can sound thin up the top.
This can be fixed and turns a good pedal into a great one.
The Metal Road mod started out as a simple mod but early on I was unhappy with the loss of Mid EQ control of the original mod so have tweaked it to further develop this mod.
There are other mods around for the MT-2 which don’t address the nasally sound problem, but this mod does. There are also other mods that are ‘overkill’ and change so many parts that the character of the Metal Zone is surrendered.
The pedal now simulates the Marshall – Boogie sound extremely well, with a tight distortion and searing gain levels. The pedal sustains at will and with a little whammy action 2nd and 3rd harmonics are easy to achieve.
This is THE mod for the Metal Zone.
The mod includes an extra bright blue L.E.D instead of stock red L.E.D and a brand new 9 volt battery.
