Celebrated worldwide as one of the most iconic drive pedals ever created, the MT-2 delivers the thick, saturated distortion tones and smooth, singing sustain that hard rock and metal guitarists demand. With over one million units sold, it remains the king of high-gain distortion stomps for guitarists around the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the MT-2 is an innovative dual-stage gain circuit that produces dense, heavy crunch and singing sustain at any volume. The first stage uses a mid-focused clarity circuit that feeds into an aggressive secondary gain stage, while seven cascaded filtering stages ensure the resulting tone stays tight and well-defined without mud or flub. The result is a distortion character that works beautifully across clean \"pedal platform\" amps as well as already-driven tube heads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MT-2's advanced three-band active EQ system—featuring a semi-parametric midrange control—goes far beyond the tone shaping capabilities of most analog drive pedals. Each band offers up to 15 dB of boost or cut, and the variable midrange frequency control sweeps from 200 Hz to 5 kHz, giving players precise control over their distortion character. Whether dialing in modern djent tones, classic thrash, or singing lead sounds, the MT-2 provides the tools to sculpt your ideal high-gain tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual-Stage Gain Circuit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two cascaded gain stages produce thick, saturated distortion with smooth, singing sustain at any volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeven Filtering Stages:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ensures tight, well-defined tone without mud or flub even at extreme gain settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree-Band Active EQ:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 15 dB boost\/cut per band with semi-parametric midrange control sweepable from 200 Hz to 5 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Works across all amplifier types including clean pedal-platform amps and high-gain heads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMillion-Seller Heritage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Over one million units sold since 1991, proving its status as the definitive metal distortion pedal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBOSS Five-Year Warranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Backed by BOSS's industry-leading warranty program\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuffered Bypass:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maintains signal integrity across the pedalboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Input Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e -20 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 M ohm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Output Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e -20 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 k ohm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Load Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 k ohms or greater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBypass:\u003c\/strong\u003e Buffered bypass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003e DIST knob, Equalizer MIDDLE\/MID FREQ knob, Equalizer HIGH\/LOW knob, LEVEL knob, Pedal switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndicator:\u003c\/strong\u003e CHECK indicator (battery status)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnectors:\u003c\/strong\u003e INPUT jack (1\/4-inch phone), OUTPUT jack (1\/4-inch phone), DC IN jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Supply:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carbon-zinc battery (9V, 6F22) or Alkaline battery (9V, 6LR61); AC adaptor (PSA series, sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Draw:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery Life:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 12.5 hours (carbon-zinc); Approx. 23.5 hours (alkaline)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 73 mm (2-7\/8 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 129 mm (5-1\/8 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 59 mm (2-3\/8 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 385 g (14 oz, including battery)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BOSS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46011672428741,"sku":"BOSS-EFX-MT2","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/3085\/3829\/files\/mt-2_top.png?v=1774908130","url":"https:\/\/avlgear.com\/products\/boss-mt-2-metal-zone-high-gain-distortion-pedal","provider":"AVLGEAR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
