Trying out the Metalzone Boss pedal today... pedals are fun, soooo SUBSCRIBE!

I'm convinced at least half the people who shit on the Metal Zone have either never owned one or have never tried one; they're just on the train cuz it's the cool thing to do.

Maybe you guys won't believe this, but I use this pedal as distortion for my BASS. Never liked bass distortions on market, so when I tested a MZ... Instant crush.

I bet a lot of of the hype about this pedal sucking is rooted in kids buying this pedal and plugging it into a $30 First Act amp and then declaring it sucks.

I loved this pedal back when I started playing in 99 all they way through college into ‘08. Idk why people hate it. It was affordable and sounded good. You can’t plug it into a shitty 20 watt solid state beginner’s amp and expect to sound like Dave Mustaine.

3:02 The first person to drop his pick and find it

Any guitarist who thinks the Metal Zone sucks obviously just doesn't know how to set the EQ and other controls on their distortion pedals correctly. I've used it since 1994 to approximate that Metallica/Pantera-type clean crunch (which is heavy distortion that still has clarity and note definition as opposed to fuzzy muddy distortion), and it does a great job of that, especially for such an affordable pedal. Hey, the company isn't called "Boss" for no reason ;)

I imagine, some dude sitting at his desk, checking through things on his computer. He goes to take a sip of coffee, that he then drops to the ground in confusion. "My god." He says. "It can't be..." He gets up and runs to his boss's office. His boss then looks at him concerned. "What is it?" The dude catching his breath finally speaks out. "Sir... We just got 1,000 orders for Metalzone pedals.." And with a tear in his the boss stands up and says, "I knew it would one day rise to its true glory."

The real problem is that there’s too many haters in the rock community,... they hate , hate, hate on everything from, bands, equipment, and clothing etc.

I think when "Satan" is written on the amp you don't need a distortion pedal

You need to run it through a 90's Peavey or Crate amp in a garage or bedroom to hear it's full potential.

Boss pedals have three great qualities . They are affordable , road worthy and they actually sound bad ass if you know what you are doing with them .

I think people are too obsessed with tone and they forget to make music. It’s always gear gear gear gear

Lol when I used Metalzone I had absolutely no idea what an effects loop was... Keep in mind we had dial-up Internet back then :D

Ahh..the Metalzone a classic. Every guitar player must have one. Usually several..and eq sweep and controls are amazing. Boss gave us exactly what we wanted.
