Item Description

【Product Overview】

• Brand: BOSS
• Model: MZ-2 Digital Metalizer Distortion/Chorus, Delay
• Category: Distortion/Overdrive
　　　
• “The iconic ’80s high‑gain digital distortion — famously used for David Gilmour’s soaring lead tones.”
  Standard Features
  - The MZ‑2 Digital Metalizer is BOSS’s first digital distortion pedal, combining high‑gain ’80s metal tones with doubling and chorus effects. Its analog distortion is processed through digital delay/chorus, creating a clear, noise‑free, and thick distortion sound.
  - The MODE knob provides three effect types:
      1)SLG – Pure distortion, the original Metalizer tone.
      2)CHO – Distortion with chorus; CHO I/II adjust the depth.
      3)DOUB – Short‑delay doubling; three delay‑time options.
  - Stereo OUT A/B outputs allow spacious, wide sound when used with two amps.
  - This is a blue‑label version, produced for only a short period (1987–1992), making it a rare and collectible model.
  - Made in Japan
  
  Additional Spec Information
  ■Character
  The MZ‑2 delivers a bright, high‑gain distortion with a distinctly V‑shaped EQ profile, emphasizing tight lows and sparkling highs with naturally scooped mids .
  This creates a clear, aggressive attack and a polished 80s hard‑rock/metal tone with strong definition even at deep gain levels.
  Because the distortion is digitally processed, the pedal remains noise‑free, crisp, and highly articulate, preserving the contour of each note.
  ■David Gilmour（Pink Floyd）Sound
  The MZ‑2 is also known for its connection to David Gilmour (Pink Floyd), who incorporated it into his late‑80s lead tones—notably during the Delicate Sound of Thunder tour—adding width and clarity to his soaring melodic lines.
  ■For 80's metal guitarist
  Its digital chorus and short‑delay doubling modes create a wide stereo field, reproducing the spacious, thickened tones favored by many iconic 80s guitarists.
  Using the stereo A/B outputs enhances this effect, delivering a large, dimensional sound ideal for players seeking a high‑impact, modern 80s-style distortion.
