@@RealMNeutral31 anything compressor, overdrive, distortion, wah, or boost is usually put by most players in front of the amp for the reason being that you want to push the tubes
I bought my MT-2 when they first came out, there was nothing like it at the time. I like noise, I like bees in cans, I like what everyone else hates, perfect pedal for me.
My first pedal years ago was a boss metal zone & honestly I loved it. I had a Mesa Boogie triple rec & I could make it sound super close to the triple rec.
I never had one of these pedals. No, I'm older than that... I had the Heavy Metal HM-2 pedal, purchased the year it was introduced. In fact, I just sold it a few months ago... it's amazing that it still worked perfectly after all those decades.
This is one of the best hi gain pedals, most people don’t like it cuz they don’t know how to dial the pedal properly with their rig, you can play all from classic rock to heavy metal and doom and stoner with the swept of it’s semiparametric eq, in my years as pedal designer 20 years ago I put 2 swicthes for 3 different types of gain and 2 different voicing that make it the best metal in a box I ever her, kudos to Pete you get great sound out of this monster, would be nice to instruct people how to use this machine to unleash it’s great potential
Have you ever tried to run the pedal into the return of an effects loop, or straight into a power amp, tube or solid state? I would like to hear how that set-up, would sound with this pedal? Great demo!!
Many thanks for this video!! Watched “Another TH-camr” and I was not aware of just how versatile this pedal is and was put off!! After watching your video am gonna pull the trigger!! Liked and subscribed!! Kudos from the UK!!!
I have been using it as a boost in the front of my amp on the gain channel with the level at 1 o'clock position and distortion at 0 (zero), then with the mids take the lower mid knob at 9 o'clock upper mid knob to 12 o'clock. Treble/bass High knob 1 o'clock /lows 2 o'clock. all approximate but give it a try. Sounded better with my amp than in the loop as a ore amp
AWESOME!!!! AND a very clear and understandeble review of the boss metalzone!! Great work Pete! Love youre amazing playing, and youre reviews!! Very helpfull, and very inspiring!! Thank you for this!! Big fan here!
Whoa...Pete Thorn does a little Yngwie...NICE!!! Not my flavor of distortion but DAMN cool demo. Amazing stuff as usual. Btw, your new record is one of the best instrumental rock records I've heard in the last decade. More please!
Heavy intro tune, Pete! Damn man loved those diminished hammer on licks! Great playing. Btw I put a set of thorn buckers in a 92 PRS CE , sounds amazing. Thanks
To right about that "S" setting, the bees are a swarming :/ How about an expression pedal input to sweep the mids? Perhaps that mod would create a whole new realm of creative possibiltles. Nicely Done Pete!!
Demo makes me wonder if you've been enjoying the playing of Akio from Anthem since spending so much time in Japan, Pete! There's an underrated guitarist (just watched your video from the bar with Rick Beato) if I've ever heard one! Anyway, killer. I think you sold me a Unit 67 the other week, so thanks for that... and all the years of great content, of course!
ooh, those "angry heavy metal" faces looked a little scary :O) Pete, you are truly the master of every genre it seems - when I saw that you had done a demo of this pedal I wondered which way you'd go, and the answer? Straight down the line death metal :O)

Best tone I've heard out of that thing so far!
Okay, I'm really digging the heavier side of Pete Thorn. You are a metal monster Pete!!!
I saw Priest on Defenders tour... Ozzy in 83... Metallica on Mater Of Puppets.. Maiden on Powerslave. Old school metal was something I grew up with! 🤘
Master lol dammit I hate typing on the phone
Your range of talent runs through so many different genres of music - it truly is inspiring! Thank you Pete!
I agree with this comment. BAdass metal playing sir
Pete, please find that unknown singer and put that next huuuge rock band together that we're all waiting on brother!!! Thanks for what u do!
Okay this is soooo unfair.... Pete can make a radio shack pizza box sound good! Great demo!
I was about to write exactly the same but you were faster (26 minutes, it says)!
Yes he can. He can make a can of sardines sound great. I wish I could do what Pete Thorn does as good or better than he does. I love his demos.
Is it still better in the xfex loop or in the front?
Legend has it that Pete plugged piece of drift wood into an empty soup can and recorded studio quality music with it....music remains unreleased.

Dude u are like a never ending riff machine. Always gets me inspired. U the man Pete keep em coming!
Thank you!
Sounds like you've been on a Mastodon/Opeth trip lately. I like it!

I keep coming back to this video not only due to the great tones Pete got, but that solo too. I love it.
I watch this video every couple of months. OG Metal Zone is my first pedal. metal rules!
I dont need one, but I kinda want one now...
Hey Pete, I run an Earthquaker Palisades into the original Metal Zone and it is one of the best sounds I've ever heard
Man I'm so glad you did this pedal because if Pete Thorn does a demo on a pedal it is worth checking out.
I would have to say Pete is the one that is versatile more so than the pedal. He can make anything sound awesome.
Love the super-wide flame on that EVH.
Beautiful piece of wood!
NASTY!! That was incredible and I've never heard that pedal sound so good.
The more Pete Thorn videos I watch the more I realize they are the best gear review videos
Thanks Brandon!
coolest track for this pedal, sounded immense
I really like the sub ten-minute demo videos, and that the emphasis is on the range of sounds available rather than talking to camera!
I never had one of these pedals. No, I'm older than that... I had the Heavy Metal HM-2 pedal, purchased the year it was introduced. In fact, I just sold it a few months ago... it's amazing that it still worked perfectly after all those decades.
Really first-class demo. No excuse now for not knowing what this pedal can do. For metal guys, this might actually be worth the higher price.
I always liked the eq on this pedal and now it's even better. Great demo, as usual. Thanks!
riniones I agree. The old version gave many more tonal options than a standard distortion. I’m looking forward to the new incarnation as well
Note to all, Pete is a master at review videos.
Love them all.
Thanks for this 🤘🤘
Great track Pete. The Song has a Nevermore/ Jeff Loomis vibe.
I thought the same

Great demo I've watched this a bunch of times and still love it.
I realize it's been out for a good bit but that tone always inspires me.
I love the Metal Zone pedal!! I’m using this pedal in my performance next week 😈🤘!!!
Once again. Sneaking amazing MUSIC into a "gear review". Love it!
Thanks!
Yay, thanks for reppin' my home state!
WOW,,@ the pedal, and the demo/guitar playing.
Sold. Sounds fantastic.
where has this Pete been hiding ??? awesome tune and killer playing, do more metal!!!!!
2021, just discovered Pete Thorn recently. Killer guitar playing! Watching the rest of these…
This sounds like what I was always hoping the DS-1 would sound like!
As always sounds great. Although the Metal Zone it isn’t my favorite BOSS pedal, I think it’s a lot better than the critics say about it.
i must say for a Metal pedal...its really Musical.....impressive
Bravo! Bravo!BRAVO!Great effect...insane guitarist!
great demo. all boxes ticked. lova ya pete.
Awesome metal chops, Mr Thorn.
Hi. I am back for the METAL ZONE!!!
You’re the man! Your demos are incredible.

Holy smokes!!.. Loved the intro jam!!..😎
love it when you whip out the EVH Wolfgang! great work as always!
That solo is pure THRASH GLORY
That parametric mid is awesome. Love seeing you dial in great tones and listening to it go from not so good to great as you do. Helps my ear training.
The best Alice in Chains song AiC never wrote...
Another excellent tune, Pete!
Great demo, Pete! You can play all genre, amazing..
Pete, I love your demo format, never change!
Have you ever tried to run the pedal into the return of an effects loop, or straight into a power amp, tube or solid state? I would like to hear how that set-up, would sound with this pedal? Great demo!!
holy crap this sounds amazing. I just bought one for my Kustom amp!
Metal zone was my first guitar pedal
.......Now THAT, kind Sir, Is how a pedal review is done!!!
Many thanks for this video!! Watched “Another TH-camr” and I was not aware of just how versatile this pedal is and was put off!! After watching your video am gonna pull the trigger!! Liked and subscribed!! Kudos from the UK!!!
Wonderful video, especially that you have shown to everyone how to set the MT-2, be blessed, Master Pete !
Hey Pete. I recently bought your second cd on iTunes and it is a masterpiece. Love it. Your an inspiration.
Thank you!
Your lead playing is breathtaking
Man you make everything sound good!
listening again.. just killer music.
Pete I enjoy your demos more than just about anyone else - just got this pedal - what is your favorite setting?
Wow, that pedal blew more than my mind, amazing!
Pete. Is there anything you can't do? Awesome metal riffing! Love it!
I always like your heavy demos more than the rest, good times
Uncle Pete delivers the goods again
Kick ass demonstration...

That mini tune has a great feel to it!
The Metal Zone is my favorite pedal

Holy shit, Pete going full on beast more than usual here. Your metal riffing is AWESOME!
I have been using it as a boost in the front of my amp on the gain channel with the level at 1 o'clock position and distortion at 0 (zero), then with the mids take the lower mid knob at 9 o'clock upper mid knob to 12 o'clock. Treble/bass High knob 1 o'clock /lows 2 o'clock. all approximate but give it a try. Sounded better with my amp than in the loop as a ore amp
Holy crap, Pete was gettin down with the heavy.
KILLER PLAYING! Best demo of this pedal I've seen yet!
P.C. Djent always sounds cool. Plus great chops by Pete.
Ok, Pete. Time to start a metal band now. That was really cool.
10/10 for the music track, fantastic solo!
This needs some Dug on bass. As always, thank you for the content.
Amazing playing bro! Cheers!

Great demo! Pete, which one do you like more for high gain stuff? The Mt2-w or the Revv G3? Thanks!!
nice demo Pete , nice choices.
Nice 👌🏼 love the dark side of Thorn 🤟😎
Whoa...Pete Thorn does a little Yngwie...NICE!!! Not my flavor of distortion but DAMN cool demo. Amazing stuff as usual. Btw, your new record is one of the best instrumental rock records I've heard in the last decade. More please!
Heavy intro tune, Pete! Damn man loved those diminished hammer on licks! Great playing. Btw I put a set of thorn buckers in a 92 PRS CE , sounds amazing. Thanks
Oh hell yes !
Damn Pete you can anything. Awesome review.

Heavy Pete Thorn is DEADLY

Awesome vid great explanation of the pedal job well done good brother
LOVING the Wolfgang!!!!
ooh, those "angry heavy metal" faces looked a little scary :O) Pete, you are truly the master of every genre it seems - when I saw that you had done a demo of this pedal I wondered which way you'd go, and the answer? Straight down the line death metal :O)
Great lick. Where did you pull this out of? Pete has gone heavy. Awesome!!!!!
Thanks Pete!
Were you running into the front of the amp? Did you try using the effects loop( power section only)?
Dammit Pete, you can even make a Metal Zone sound awesome! (But the C mode does sound way better than the original S mode indeed). Awesome work.
And awesome riffing too, by the way. ;-)
