Boss MT-2w

[BearBoy]

MT-2w is up on the Boss website as well now.

For over 25 years, the MT-2 Metal Zone has been one of the most popular and influential compact pedals in the BOSS lineup, with overall sales that are second only to the venerable DS-1 Distortion. Made in Japan and infused with Waza Craft mojo, the MT-2W takes the iconic stomp to new levels of tonal range and versatility. Standard mode delivers an evolved version of the original mid-focused Metal Zone tone, while Custom mode introduces a fresh, wide-ranging voice that’s perfectly suited for today’s diverse high-gain styles.

• Premium Waza Craft pedal with all-analog audio circuitry
  Innovative dual-stage gain circuit built with discrete analog components
  Standard mode updates the famous MT-2 Metal Zone sound with improved clarity and lower noise
  Custom mode delivers full-throttle gain tones with wider range, increased dynamics, and tighter low end
  Powerful three-band EQ provides intense sound customization with High, Low, and sweepable Midrange and up to 15 dB boost/cut on each band
  Premium buffer for clean and clear tone when bypassed
  Made in Japan
  BOSS five-year warranty

I wonder if Boss has finally made a good high gain metal pedal here. I started with the "high gain icon" known as the MT-2 and went through the whole lot ending up buying a new amp instead.

I like ML-2 for High Gain myself. More crunch. Being a high gain guy though, I would give it a try.

I'm a big fan of the ML-2.

I really like the tone this guy gets with the ML-2 in this instruction video. He's using EMGs too.

EMGs on my Jim Root Strat and ML-2 work well together haha.

I've watched 3 videos on the new MT-2W and it sounds pretty good to me.
