it is for gutiar to pedal or pedal to amp???

the cable? either. they're generic

guitar > cable > pedal > cable > amp

an MT-2 should be okay for nu-metal...and it's probably the most versatile (AND AFFORDABLE) of all the "metal" pedal's i've tried so far. ML-2 for killing random small rodents with the pure blast of lows and highs from your rig.
Metal Muff is sexy, and you will get every cent you pay for it back in amazing tone, but the price tag is still the bummer for me
dont worry i was screaming like tat too when i saw the price on my dream pedal.
MXR Dimebag Darrell Abbott signature distortion pedal for RM 660 anyone?

I'm using the ibanez noise reduction ones too. about 50- 80 bucks depending on length. I want monsters but I can't get my hands one any here....yet.

MT2 versatile?How do you get a good tone thru that box of bees?I find the pedal only useful thru a good amp.Can't get a bonecrushing tone thru it with an SS amp.Care to share?

Well, it's always at the studio my band practices at. some way or another my 2 guitarists manage to figure out a way to make it give crunching tone for out heavier stuff, and a more "hollow" relaxed tone for rhythm parts on slow songs and also face-melting lead power for our slow songs too.

of course, they spend an eternity playing with the EQs on the pedal AND the amp, as well as occasionally using the amp's stock overdrive/whatever is built into it to create a unique blend. They mix it with the other pedals provided too for added fun. MT-2 as a single pedal, completely alone, has some things that could be worked on.

Edit: Just a side note, it wasn't voted Boss's product of the year for several years running for no reason.

box of bees? the metalzone is damn versatile la. can get many many tones out of it. if you say its only useful through a good amp, its only because every pedal is like that i used a metalzone for awhile(borrowed a friends) running through my shitty kustom practice amp(solid state) and it still sounded good to my ears.


someone was selling one on JT for rm400ish. dunno if its still there.

yea, he's selling it on LYN too. I'm debating whether to raid my CNY income for my beloved pedal or wait and do some other stuff first, like maintenance for my guitar and bass. FRETBUZZ GALOREEEE, an electronics checkup, and probably adjusting the setup.

Sorry lar if you felt offended.Help me ask em their settings for the mt2 yea?That'll help a ton.

im still getting metal muff i think
mt-2 is too common

doesn't matter if its common or not.. as long as its good
but i'd say go for the metal muff if you can

Sansamp GT2.

no metal muff im saving and sure i write the review more like 3 months later? LOL

lol u better test it 1st

it's all up to your ears really, hours of trial and error.
all they did was take the general "famous" settings like scooped mids for chugging, boost for lead, etc etc and just tweaked it to their liking.

one thing is they don't overtweak the pedal EQ unless they're scooping mids. if they want a high boost they add some on the pedal and some on the amp and whatnots..... it's just trial and error.
Main thing is just don't max out the distortion knob unless you're really looking for crunch. about 2 o'clock should be sufficient.
