Boss MT-2W Guitar Effect
The Boss MT-2W Metal Zone distortion pedal is the Waza Craft reissue of a legendary 1991 high-gain stompbox, built in Japan with a fully redesigned discrete analog gain circuit. Two selectable modes — Standard and Custom — give players both the classic mid-focused Metal Zone sound and a wider, tighter modern high-gain tone. With a sweepable three-band EQ offering ±15 dB per band and a buffered bypass, this compact pedal fits on any standard board.
- Dual-mode voicing — Standard preserves the original MT-2 flavor with greater clarity and reduced noise, while Custom expands the sound for modern metal genres.
- Engineered with a discrete dual-stage gain circuit using carefully chosen analog components to achieve rich tone and keep background hiss low.
- Shaping your sound is easy with a parametric three-band EQ. The High, Low, and sweepable Midrange (200 Hz to 5 kHz) provide up to 15 dB boost or cut per band.
- The buffered bypass and dedicated buffer maintain signal purity when disengaged.
Boss MT-2W Metal Zone Distortion Pedal — Waza Craft High-Gain Evolution
The Boss MT-2W Metal Zone distortion pedal ushers the iconic 1991 high-gain stompbox into the Waza Craft range, introducing a completely redesigned analog circuit. Crafted in Japan with a compact 73 × 129 × 59 mm enclosure, it introduces a second voicing alongside the classic Metal Zone sound. Those seeking tight modern metal, classic thrash, and even fuzz in a single pedal will appreciate how this model redefines distortion versatility.
Dual-Mode Design and Discrete Analog Gain
What sets it apart is the dual-mode design and updated analog gain circuit. Players can access Standard mode for the famed mid-emphasized MT-2 character with heightened clarity and reduced noise. Switch to Custom mode to experience greater dynamic range and a tighter low end. A dedicated buffer ensures the bypassed signal remains pristine.

Thanks to the dual-stage circuit built from selected discrete analog components, this instrument achieves both the signature mid-driven Metal Zone voice and a broader modern sound palette.

Тype: Distortion
Distortion is an effect that heavily alters the shape of the audio signal, producing a rich, aggressive, and saturated tone. It is used to achieve an intense sound with strong harmonic content and long sustain. Distortion is a key element in rock, metal, and alternative music, giving the guitar sound power, sharpness, and character.
Battery Operation: Yes
Battery power provides flexibility and mobility. This feature allows you to use the device anywhere, even in places where an electrical outlet is not available. Battery power is ideal for situations that require portability and independence from the grid, whether you're outdoors, on the road, or in a location with limited access to electricity.
