The Metal Zone in front of the right amp will produce the exact tone from Accept's Balls to the Wall album lol. The MXR Fullbore Metal works even nicer cuz it has that built in noise gate

in the loop the Eq setting does a wonderful job than in front of the amp...great idea..tx a lot man 😊

This is a smashing idea. I'd record with many of the in the loop sounds and I was thinking naw won't work. I'd also like the front sound @ 1:40 . Good but not focused.

Nice idea to play some Pantera here. Thanks man.

sick riffs man.. & solid demo of the different eq settings

I Had a keeler modded one and use it on my dirty channel , got all my grind, chainsaw, hi treble sounds like that. Made my amp sound so much more metal than it is without it

Lucky I didn't sell it. To think I was contemplating buying a eq pedal. Thanks for sharing.

I love my metal zone, i got it modded and it's a beast now. I'm also using it as an eq pedal but since my amp doesn't have fx loop i can only use it in the front

I have the exact same Planet Waves and Fender cables! Pretty good quality stuff I must admit. My previous Planet Waves cable lasted about 10 years as a bedroom player. Oh! And nice video! I have a metal zone'ish clone pedal. I will definately try this. See if I can get my Orange TH30 to sound a bit brighter/Mesa/Swedish.

Simon i use it in a similar fashion, as a booster and eq, in front of Ampeg SVT and it sounds really articulate and clanky with my P bass. Mt2 is a very touch sensitive pedal, a lot of great bass sounds can be achieved with it.

I know this is old but I'm testing studio tones. Playing through a rectifier style moddeling amp I threw the boss metal core on it to do the same thing. Insanely helped the tone we was looking fot

I have one of the Keeley MT-2s and just put it in front of my 20w Jet City amp. I had the gain nearly all the way down, level at unity, slight boost in both treble and bass, mids at noon. The character of simply having the pedal 'on' really shapes the signal interacting with the amp. It sounded a lot more like a tightened up metal sound as opposed to a looser feeling hard rock tone. Dirt boxes are great to use as an overall preamp, you just have to be sure to keep the gain knob low. This is basically the same concept that everyone uses with a tube screamer into a high gain amp.

What a great idea! I'm going to try this with all my distortion and overdrive pedals

Still prefer it infront of the amp as a clean boost.

Simon I have been doing this for years, it's a death metal thing we do over here. Cc uses it Deicide uses it it's killer, gain off valume maxed everything else 10 or 11

very creative!!!

So basically you can use it as a pre amp from the guitar before you contact it to irig and into iphone to prevent feedback noises?

Nice but do you think this could work? Guitar > Input Of amp on clean channel using amps eq to cut bass and boost mids > Metal zone in loop. Don’t know if it’ll work as I don’t have a MT-2w to test at the moment sadly.

Indeed, the metal zone can act as a limited but usable parametric EQ, which is fairly decent in range compared to other pedals. Considering you can find these for mere pennies sometimes, it can be quite useful for tone shaping IF you can live with the extra buffer added to the signal path.

Russ Wilson true but thats true of any eq or boost pedal pretty much. you could however eq the clean channel on the amp to work well with the added eq or just roll the volume off on the guitar on the dirty channel (its what i do) but if youre doing vocals at the same or need a pristine clean not the best or you could do the tap dancing thing

The MT-2 is more versatile and tweakable but the HM-2 is surely more iconic and unique. As a boost in an already distorted signal, tho, the Metal Zone is very subtle while the Heavy Metal gives its touch if used that way too!

There's a guitar called a Les Paul, I think that's what its called, Some company named Gibons or Gibson or something, they say they make nay amp or pedal sound good. So, I like Yamaha stuff, but for what your doing? Use a LP or an Ibanez RG or a Dean 350 (Vinnie Moore "Vinman") or something with a nice full humbucker tone cuz whatever is going on (and I like the Boss metal Zone), this vid does no justice, its not the pedal, its the guitar.
