Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
BOSS’s MT-2W is a Waza Craft, Made in Japan take on the Metal Zone distortion pedal. Standard mode keeps the pedal’s mid-focused direction with a refined response, while Custom mode opens into a broader high-gain voice with rounder low mids and a full, defined low end. Its discrete dual-stage gain circuit and three-band EQ with parametric mids give you substantial control when shaping heavy guitar sounds. Buffered bypass and conventional 1/4-inch connections keep it straightforward to place in a pedalboard signal path.
Strong match
Who this is for
- High-gain guitar parts that need detailed midrange shaping from a parametric EQ.
- Low-tuned riff work requiring a full yet focused low end at high gain.
- Players who want to switch between mid-driven Standard and wider Custom distortion voices.
