●Metal Zone: The timeless high-gain pedal, the MT-2

Since its release in 1991, the MT-2 has continued to captivate guitarists worldwide with its heavy distortion and unique midrange character.

Its dual-stage gain circuit, which delivers a wide range of high-gain sounds, has influenced many pedal builders as an innovative design.

The groundbreaking 3-band EQ, equipped with a mid-frequency control, allows for precise tone shaping and delivers distortion sounds with a variety of characters.

The MT-2 is also the first BOSS compact pedal to feature dual-axis pots for a wide range of tone shaping.

● The Metal Zone MT-2W, refined through WAZA CRAFT

The WAZA CRAFT MT-2W has been meticulously re-engineered from the ground up, revisiting every detail of the original analog circuitry to deliver superior tone and sound-shaping capabilities suited to today’s diverse music scene.

The discrete dual-stage gain circuit utilizes carefully selected components, resulting in a sound that is even more refined, high-quality, and clear.

The EQ has also been redesigned and tuned from the ground up.

Furthermore, the mid-range frequency response is set to optimal values for both Standard and Custom modes, switching automatically depending on the selected mode.

● Standard Mode: Taking the Metal Zone to New Heights

The MT-2W’s Standard Mode features a newly implemented discrete dual-stage gain circuit that pays homage to the Metal Zone’s signature midrange sound while taking it to new heights.

The result is a sound with high picking response and a clear, well-defined contour.

Noise has also been reduced, transforming the pedal into one that remains easy to control even at ultra-high-gain settings.

● Custom Mode: The Ultimate High-Gain Sound—Wide-Ranging Yet Tight

The MT-2W’s Custom Mode delivers a natural, wide-ranging tone suited for the modern high-gain scene and diverse playing styles.

The mid-low range is milder and more expressive compared to Standard Mode.

The low end delivers a crisp tone without losing definition, even at high-gain settings.

It’s also ideal for chugging riffs on a down-tuned guitar.

Furthermore, with its high responsiveness to the guitar’s volume control, you can adjust the amount of distortion at your fingertips to manipulate an unprecedented range of tones.

● What is WAZA CRAFT?

Since its founding, BOSS engineers have poured their passion for sound, along with all their technical expertise—from analog circuit design to cutting-edge DSP technology—into the pursuit of the ultimate guitar sound.

The “WAZA CRAFT” compact pedal is the culmination of that craftsmanship.

It features an analog circuit meticulously assembled by skilled engineers, who have paid meticulous attention to every detail, starting with the selection of each individual component.

Furthermore, with a final sound check conducted in Japan before shipment, the “WAZA CRAFT”—meticulously crafted down to the finest details—delivers the ultimate sound and exceptional playability to guitarists.
