I own one as well and while with proper application it can sound quite excellent, the ML-2 far surpasses it in the face that you can plug it in straight and get a tight distortion sounds as opposed to the MT-2 which was hard (for most it would seem) to EQ in a way that was satisfactory

perfectly stated. i A/B'd these two pedals and the MT-2 can sound exactly like this pedal. not the other way around however.

I need something to sound good on solos and make harmonics more pronounced, so wich one do you think is better suited, this pedal or the electro-harmonix metal muff?

It is much more versitile, has a much better tone and is cheaper than the Metal Zone.


Thanks, I'll probably get the metal muff. Plus, just that mention of nu-metal in that description at the very top drove me away from it at the beginning.

I might have read the review if it wasn't called metal core.. BOSS have clearly tapped the faggot market with this one.
Doesn't matter if the pedal sounds sexy.

this pedal sounds more like an amp than just a pedal but the metal zone seemed too digital.

The reason I bought the Metal Zone was because of the 4 distortion pedals I tried, it sounded the LEAST digital. It gave a full sound, and it's really versatile. If you think it sounds too digital you obviously need to go try out a couple more distortion pedals.

I would really recommend the Metal Muff pedal instead. So much more versatile and natural sounding compared to the MT2. I wish I knew about it before I bought it. I hate the way the Metal Zone sounds.

I forgot to say..not only did the other pedals sound more digital, but a big thing is that the Metal Muff sounded like pure digital crap compared to the Metal Zone. Maybe the set up was bad for the Metal Muff...all I know is that compared to the Metal Zone it was thin/cheap sounding crap.

But the metalcore genre is a complete abomination of metal!

You're right, I meant to say the MetalCore is more expensive than the Metal Muff.

True enough, yet I'd hope you realize just how many people will randomly buy ANY distortion pedal without considering the kind of distortion they're going to get from it. A guy who wants tone for distortion you might here in a band like Foreigner or Winger shouldn't buy this pedal.

2. MT-2 sounds like I'm playing out of a tin can..distortion is thin as hell.
3. ML-2 has a great sound, but can you say..FEEDBACK? OMG! you'll need a noise gate for sure...maybe two of them!
4. Go with either a Uber Metal or a seymour duncan metal mayhem, its all about trial and error, if you're a beginner or an intermediate guitarist...im telling you...stay away from Boss and Digitech. Although the Metal Core pedal is kinda cool for your basic hard metal riffs.

personally i play the mt-2 and it's so much better. not that digital, more versatile, clearer sound.
of course not the best pedal out there, but enough for my needs.

Still - is there anyone here who isn't ranting on about tone and other p*ssy concerns? This is a metal pedal... If you want to play Extreme Genres properly then you're going to have to say goodbye to clean settings, if you think they're so important then you should stick to lighter genres. Most peoples complaints are against the genre, not the sound - making their rants an invalid argument.

Still, an awesome and insightful review, kudos.

That's kind of true. That's really disappointing though. There used to be a lot of great metalcore bands in the nineties, like Converge and Coalesce. As I Lay Dying and other crap bands have ruined it. Maybe Between the Buried and Me could save it, but i like hardcore better anyway.

Wow. You did not just go there saying As I Lay Dying ruined metalcore. What an idiot.

And as shaymack37 said: recording's sound different, and the pedal's will sound different with different amps and guitars. You really have to try the pedals before you choose!

I play bullet for my valentine, children of bodom, killswitch engage and slipknot etc and the ml-2 sounded better for that kinda thing than anything else i tried. However, it's about as versatile as a kettle, so is rubbish for anything else. Don't make your mind up from reviews and comments on here: go out and try it somewhere! It's the only way to know what suits you.

thanks. my band plays a lot of stuff like that. I might look into this pedal ( my MT-2 crapped out on me after about a year.)

I play with an Ibanez RG421 on a Marshall AV50watt amp and with my setup i found metal zone was atleast ten times better then metal core. I can probably get all the metal core distortion and more on a metal zone.
I play mostly metallica, megadeth, pantera, anthrax, slayer, and i couldn't find any good settings on the metal core for any of these bands.
I just got back from the music store after buying another metal zone, so all you metal zone owners who are debating on getting metal core because its newer don't bother... i think i'm gonna use mine as a paper weight.

This pedal may blow away the MT-2 Metal Zone, but the Electro-Harmonix Metal Muff blows this one away. It is much more versitile, has a much better tone and is cheaper than the Metal Zone.

i would have to disagree
the metal muff is totally badass, and has a buttload of gain, but i think for a 3 band eq, it is limited in tone. almost all of my artificial harmonics sounded the same (my shitty line 6's channel sounded more diverse).
yes, this pedal has only 2 eqs but if you dial in a decent setting on the amp then apply the pedals eq, you can find a nice tone. the actual distortion of the metalcore totally beats down the metal muff.
but its all about what sound you want
if you like newer hardcore/metalcore (as its rightly dubbed) this pedal works
but if you like that real nasty biting tone that hurts so good, then the metal muff is a great option, and it has a boost on it
idk how the metal zone fares though, the name enough just makes me stay away. METAL ZONE...really? not that this ones name is any better hahahaha

I need some ideas for how to make a good pedal setup for nu-metal sound to play live..
what pedals do u think should be the musts of the setup, what are optional?!
Boss ML-2, Digitech DF 7 seems to be the good options for distortion..
a Noise Supressor pedal would be cool probably..
Do I really need Delay, Chorus and all other modulations or any acoustic pedal..
How about an equalizer?!
I'm not a a pro, so help me with your knowledge please, thank you..

The ML-2 is much better for leads and soloing. The rhythm is good, but not the heaviest of the pedals. If your amp handles distortion well and your pick-ups give it a good kick, then this would be fine, but if you need an extra hi gain boost, I would suggest the MT-2.

I got this pedal and play a ton of Atreyu with it. I get the exact tone for Lipgloss and Black by pushing it to maybe 60% of the pedal's potential.

is this better than my boss mt2 metal zone???

I have both, I find the ml-2 to bit a tad less harsh in the high-end. if you like pantera solid-state edge, stick with the MT-2, if you want a rounder-deeper sound, go ml-2

I would truly like to see this guy replace Kirk on tour with Metallica. Show us how it's done, big guy.

yea i just picked it up earlier today, and though ive only been able to play it at minimal level this evenign due to neighbors, it def sounds better then my MT2, the distortion is much darker and heavier, a dist i couldnt get with my mt-2... i got it runnin through a boss dig delay and noise suppressor too, not sure if the suppressor makes much diff, pedal is super quiet for a high gain pedal...from an esp ltd ec500s into a peavey vk100....sounds pretty nice..

Exactly! I'm sure the MT-2 has a sound that is perfect for some situations, but the ML-2 seems more saturated and darker. It's all preference, really. I would definately choos ML-2 Metalcore.

Guyz,

I need some ideas for how to make a good pedal setup for nu-metal sound to play live..
what pedals do u think should be the musts of the setup, what are optional?!
Boss ML-2, Digitech DF 7 seems to be the good options for distortion..
a Noise Supressor pedal would be cool probably..
Do I really need Delay, Chorus and all other modulations or any acoustic pedal..
How about an equalizer?!
I'm not a a pro, so help me with your knowledge please, thank you..
I realize that this post is old, but I thought I would open my big mouth anyways ...
An equalizer is a definate plus-not necessary, but a plus, nonetheless. As for delay: it is amazing how much better a tone can be with a *tiny* amount of delay that is not overly present. Distortion is completely preference. Personally, I like the ML-2 Metalcore, but I can see where other people would like the MT-2 Metalzone. I also own the EHX Metal Muff and sometimes it has the perfect sound I'm looking for, but for some songs its just too harsh-I can't quite get the right sort of "thickness" to my distortion. Good Luck to you!
