People say the mt-2 is awful and I get that it's a meme and not supposed to be taken seriously (at least I think that's the case) but everytime I hear it, it just blows my socks off.
@Big Nut you have to run it into an overdriven amp for it to unleash the magick...sounds like ass normal thru clean channel but thru dirty channel.watch out.8t will out metal an eat any other pedal in existence damn near
You made them all sound cool. But my favourite from Boss?....Overdriven amp (even a Katana) with a Super Overdrive or Blues Driver and the 7 band graphic EQ. That work's on every amp I have tried and like the sound the most. (or a Tube Screamer...oops that is Ibanez...haha)
U are absolutely right. Internet hero-destroyers squirm, but BOSS's best heavy metal pedal is the MZ-2. Including the video shows from the best to the worst ... lol
Nice review. I use Hyper Metal and Metal Zone of Boss, Metal Muff with Top Bost of Electro Harmonix, Fangs Metal of TC electronics, Ultra Metal of Behringer. I have also the original Metal Distortion of Kustom Sound (USA) of 70s too in collection. The Fangs Metal is of very rich effects but that of Kustom Sound is richest in riffing.
Niklas if all these pedals that you demonstrated were in a case, in a signal chain, what sequence would sound for a better use of the signal from these pedals?
@@fishingdude0184 Yea. But certain styles just don't sound right played on certain gear. In my opinion anyway, and presumably many others as well. After all, if I were to demo a Gibson BB King Lucille through a Vox AC30, I sure as hell wouldn't be playing As I Lay Dying riffs on it. Lol. You need a sweet melody to compliment a sweet tone and vice versa. Key word: compliment. Pedals like these need aggressive riffs to compliment their aggressive tones. If you want to capture the true essence of what a pedal or any piece of gear is made of in a demo, that is. Again, my opinion.
Simply stated.....you absolutely HAVTA put the gain all the way up on each an every single pedal and you HAVTA chunk and palm mite chords if your going to do a no-brainer "metal" pedal shootout....no other way if your serious and not wasting our time with nonsense just to get an extra view...you CANNOT do this with gain halfway up...it's stupid and without palm muting chord chunking what is the point at all.unless its titled."HOW TO UN-METAL THE METAL PEDALS" I mean damn.doesnt require common sense even at all.why does almost everyone on youtube waste time on metal pedals when they A.csnt play metal or suck at it. B.have no interest in metal period. C.cant figure out how to operate the gain properly on a metal pedal. D.dont know that the BOSS HM-2 is supposed to be ran into a slightly distorted amp for it to become a metal pedal at all.with everything cranked.(if that's not known then you should not even be operating the damn thing at all and should give it away to a real metalhead who knows there trivial facts that everyone in the metal world already knows.instead of bopping along in a bumbling manner under a rock hidden away from everything that even resembles real metal.give up in metal and metal pedal reviews.keep on with the shitty aerosmith sounds or some retard creed gear review.(fuck mark tremonti,he don't deserve a fucking signature guitar,he's a boob and had the suckiest band alongside nickelback(picklesack). Definately never made it as a wiseman.jeesh and wtf on the hm-2. I LOVE THAT PEDAL AND IT WASNT EVEN REPRESENTED AT ALL.WTF. IF YOU KNEW WHAT YOU WERE DOING THST DAMN HM-2 WOULDVE EATEN ALL THE OTHER PEDALS AND SPIT THE SEEDS OUT AND UP YOUR BUTT.RIFHT ON CAMERA.thst woulda been great and woulda had me subscribing...lol. take care an stay safe anyway but damn
Metal Zone forever 😂 Lots of 80’s tone came from that. But the Metalizer sounds good too!
They started producing it in 1991.
I heard Rhoads , over the mountain tone
i just buy my metal zone today
hm-2 better
Metal core is the best.
wrong son... HM-2
People say the mt-2 is awful and I get that it's a meme and not supposed to be taken seriously (at least I think that's the case) but everytime I hear it, it just blows my socks off.
Mr P I reckon the MT-2 is both vesitile and sounds good, depending on how you use it. 👌🏻
It was designed with 80's thrash in mind mostly. More trebly with scooped mids. Everyone wants 5150 tone now. That's why they hate on it.
Out of all five in this one, love both the HM-2 and the MZ-2.
Crank that Metal Core gain past 2-3 o'clock and get back to me...
HM2 of course ! no game, no race, a winner from the start !
@Big Nut you have to run it into an overdriven amp for it to unleash the magick...sounds like ass normal thru clean channel but thru dirty channel.watch out.8t will out metal an eat any other pedal in existence damn near

Agree!
I was senior engineer at Roland/Boss UK; the best pedals they produced IMHO was the MZ-2
What is "best", did tou know a similar pedal?
@@TiagoEliasu ML2 is nice but my favorite is the MZ2 in this shoot-out
U are absolutely right. Internet hero-destroyers squirm, but BOSS's best heavy metal pedal is the MZ-2. Including the video shows from the best to the worst ... lol
@TUBOIMAGEM not just a great metal pedal, the MZ-2 can do rock and other styles very well also. 🤘
That HM-2 should be cranked all the way on all the dials. \m/
Bloody fucking reich eh.
You just heard a demo with a different setting. To me, it sounded absolutely fine.
Wow, that Metalizer was my favourite.
Awesome side-by-side!!!!! I own 3 of these and was looking to see if adding a 4th made sense….. it will be here next week lol. Thanks man!
Did you get more?
@@endezeichengrimm yep. Only one I’m missing now from this lineup is the hyper metal
The Metalizer wins by far. W Percival from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Best demo on RUclips. I like the Metal Core the best.
Pretty similar but hyper metal was my fav. The lead was super crisp
Metalzone and metalcore for me !!
If the MZ-2 was good enough for David Gilmour, then it should be good enough for me.
It was the HM-2 not MZ-2... ruclips.net/video/JVrWPFly90Y/видео.html
@@flagace4889 Gilmour also used an MZ-2 during the Pulse tour. Reportedly for the Money solo.
both of you nice ppl forget he used an HM-2 before any of that
Nice review. I use Hyper Metal and Metal Zone of Boss, Metal Muff with Top Bost of Electro Harmonix, Fangs Metal of TC electronics, Ultra Metal of Behringer. I have also the original Metal Distortion of Kustom Sound (USA) of 70s too in collection. The Fangs Metal is of very rich effects but that of Kustom Sound is richest in riffing.
HM-2 & HM-3 🤘
I’d put the Hyper and Metalizer at the top of the list.
Cada vez me gusta más el Metal Core ML2.
Recomiendas el metal core para tocar metal? 🤔
MT-2 and ML-2. Get both. Use both together, one as distortion and the other as overdrive.
I liked Metal Core because it sounds tighter and “modern”
All sounded the same to me. BOSS should only keep producing the METAL ZONE...
For whom the bell tolls. Time Marches ON !!!
all misses a MID control but i love my HM-3
Not a fency show but the best test straight to the fuking point !!! BRAVO DUDE that’s how we make smart video for me tanks
The HM-2 has only one possible setting: everything maxed out.
You just heard a good demo with a completely different setting. And to me, it sounded great.
Nice one man. Too good. Wow you’re the boss metal pedal King. 💀🤘Mt-2 is the King and ML-2 the twin king and the others sounded good too.
Stereo recording... two tracks. Metalizer and MT-2 👏👏👏
MT-2 sounds like s..., very weak thin sound, I had one for years, it was only good for me while it was the only one.
But what about stacking them all together at the same time?
PLEASE put them all to MAX and play them all at the same time
Not once did I hear anything even close to metal!
These are the sounds of rock imo
Metal zone rules
The winner is Digital Metalizer.
you tube said no one ever
I think maybe metal zone for standard and core is for drop tune. Am i right?
I have them all exept the core, they
e all great imo!
The Metalizer is the best!!!
I would rank all the pedals in the exact order they were played....
But backwards..
Metal core.
ml-2 top
Punch the Hyper Metal through a fender Bass Man with 6L6's and see how that goes.
Exelente test!!!
MT-2 Excellent & ML-2 Very good.
Sweet demo 👌🏼
damn metal zone !! it really sounds good,..
thanks
Metal zone,Metal Core 👍👍👍👍
stock HM2> any modified HM2 > MT2 waza > HM3 > MT2 > MZ2 > ML2
C’mon !, hm-2 and hm-3 !…
metal core was the best here for this song
Hello Niklas. Do you mind sharing the tab for the solo part please? Thanks in adv.
Mz2 the Best...
Metal Zone by far
0:09 0:23 0:36 0:49 1:03
All sounds like metal to me.
Nice rig
que demo mas buena
Metalcore in first and hm2 in the far last place
Metal zone sounded the best of these
HM2 the classic one
Metal core
🤘
Niklas if all these pedals that you demonstrated were in a case, in a signal chain, what sequence would sound for a better use of the signal from these pedals?
Everyone is licking, cheating everywhere, tell me how the Metalizer can growl beautifully if its last handle is turned at 9 o'clock?
MT-2
The metalizer wins
boss mt2
Metal zone mt2
Metal Zone MT2 y Metal Core ML-2 👍👍
Using blues/rock riffs to demo metal pedals? Really?
Ibanez Maestro 😅👌🏻
Metal came from jazz/blues rock.That was Hair Metal by the way 😁
@@fishingdude0184 Yea. But certain styles just don't sound right played on certain gear. In my opinion anyway, and presumably many others as well.

take care an stay safe anyway but damn
Все - редкостное дерьмо))) Но Heavy Metal дает довольно узнаваемый саунд 80-х. Ну а митолзона...
Hiper metal is best
Metal core wins
Why does every guitar gear review play the same boring grandpa riffs
Good question! 😅👌🏻 next time I'll come up with somethin less grandpa-ish
You cereal with those settings ?
Not cereal at all! 🙂
Why do people keep using metal pedals specifically made for heavy distortion metal and then play some E standard blues crap, get a blues driver then
