Trying out the new Waza Metal Zone from Boss! SUBSCRIBE!
Damnit Ola you know what time it is in California when you post these vids!
Thoroughly enjoyed once again!
If that chainsaw sound can be boosted I just might grab myself one of those one day - My favorite tone!
Ola Englund Oh dude, man
The Merciless Distortion by Airis Effects, though
Oh wow, I don’t know if you would, but that’d be awesome if you made a video on that one, man!
It’s their take on an HM2 but they made the dirt and grime more clear to hear, it’s a monster! 🤘🏻
Good morning Ola! It's great to wake up to another one of your fantastic videos! I'm already sold it ntbe metal zone and have always been attracted to it. Also, finally grab Feared on Apple music and love it. Thanks Ola!
Ola Englund can most or any Distortion Pedals go into “Return” of effects loop??? I thought maybe they had to be Preamp Pedals only. Thank you for your help as to I’m really not educated enough about wattage and safety of electronics.
It would be hilarious if ever Boss released pedal called Friend Zone.
Death Zone would be better, maybe not as funny ...
They did! It’s a Jorah Mormont signature pedal...😎
You would get NO chug from the new Boss FZ-1 Friend Zone, and it will be an overly expensive pedal too.
Ahh, I see you have that cringe social anxiety sense of humor so common among metal fans. Hopefully you aren’t still an angry virgin 3 years later.
Kill Zone
I don't play guitar. I hardly ever listen to metal. I still keep watching these videos. Maybe I'll try my electric ukelele through one of these pedals
Do it.
i've seen it done, its awesome
So you´ll have a metalele :D
AndyQ
I put a pickup on my mandolin and made some ridiculous tones!
metalzone that shit!
Should have plugged the original metal zone into the new one. The earth may have split in two..lol
That's exactly what I was thinking.
No, swarms of bees are attracted to it when you do that.
I don't think people commenting here think the Metal Zone sounds like a swarm of bees. The Les Paul forum or The Gear Page might.
YES XD
@@werdna_sir LOL..
Ola Englund Signature Metal Zone pedal coming soon
Metal Rapa
Where do I pre-order?
With a dime setting
would need a burp-mode similar to miku pedal
I'm surprised they didn't consult him on this.
Guys at Boss are ABSOLUTE MAD LADS
6ound Studio they would have to be to waste they're time with this pedal
Right? How many times have we joked about them doing a Waza version of the MT2? Lol, they did it they actually did it. And I love it.
their
Yeah, they're pretty boss.
6ound Studio
Their parent company is Roland, correct?
This is the only guy who gives proper video reviews about the Metal Zone. Thanks, Mr. Englund!
Better than Marty’s review. Ola did it way better
Ola could record an entire album with this. And if he never told you it was a Metal Zone no one would even know.
"So I said no, so thanks for watching!" *mocking laugh*
This legit made me subscribe
My god they did it. Those Madmen!
This is honestly the most versatile pedal I've ever owned. It does warm clean tones, it does slightly raspy clean tones, it does down in the mud blurry tones, it does fuzzy, it goes grity and it can make the thickest or thinnest, grainiest distortion around.
I love it. I can't say enough about it. Buy it and you won't regret it. It is a genuine workhorse of sounds.
"You dont really need the most expensive preamps to get a killer metal sound"
No, but I'm sure the $3000 signature amp doesn't hurt ^^
Really a decent guitar + pedals + and a decent clean channel = bitchin sound
Well, I mean, Ola is running the pedal through the FX loop, so...
Its a randall, its not 3k😂
@@Trey-jl9ru in his defense, the 120 is about 1600 and paired with a Mesa Boogie 4x12, comes out to around 3000 after tax.
I bought the Laney Iron Heart Studio for 800 euros and what a sound, neighbours are afraid when I switch it on. Just, I must buy 2 or 3 pedals to have a fucking monster !
High way to the Metal Zone
I can't be the only one that sang this as I read it!!!
Kenny Chuggins!
Shane Train well played
Your sitting there playing guitar... You want distortion... You see a pedal up ahead... You plug it in, engage it... You have just crossed into...
The "metal zone"...
Leave it to the Swedes to get a killer tone out of an overhated pedal like the Metal Zone or the HM-2. Rock on Ola and in the words of Dime, "Getcha Pull!!"
HM-2 isn't overhated, though. Quite the opposite...
Yeah. People didn't hate on the HM-2 until the snobby djent losers came out and started shitting all over everything that wasn't boutique and outrageously expensive.
Note: not everybody who likes djent is a loser. Just the snobby ones
People hated the metal zone WAAAAY before DJENT was a thing. Lmao, did someone really just say that?
I'm the opposite. I think the HM2 is terrible but think the MZ is actually very good in an fx loop. Better than most high gain pedals imo. It has such a great low end punch. This waza version is probably even better in the loop, especially considering the custom mode is a lot like the analogman mod which is killer
Why are Pantera fans so embarrassing
There is something just so satisfying watching/ listening to Ola play around on his guitar with that brutal sound.
That right there is to me the ideal metal sound when he busted out the 7-string. That is just utterly monstrous and thundering sounding while staying nice and tight sounding as well with plenty of clarity. Of course it helps that Ola Englund is playing those killer metal rhythms as well. Boss did well choosing him to demo this pedal. I already own the original, but I'm definitely buying one of these new models as I love the change of tone that the custom mode provides.
Hey man, i simply love you. I give up my role as the most sarcastic man ever. You win.
IDGAF what anyone says, the Boss MT2 Metal Zone is one of the best and most versatile distortion pedals ever made.
ya very much one style..
I'm not a guitarist but I'm an ex drummer and metal head for 40 years, I just bought a Jackson DK2 dinky with emg pups and I'm picking up a Boss mt2 metal zone, I don't know much about distortion pedals but I love the sound of the MT2 even more than the 2w,I can't wait to test it out tomorrow then I have to learn to play guitar, shouldn't be a problem if you can play drums guitar should be childsplay hahaha 🤘
Doug Vodogaz how do you like the dinky?
@@dougvodogaz1494 I don't know about that... I play both drums *AND* guitar... And they are both two totally different worlds...
Good luck on learning the guitar though... Hope you rock the roof sometime...
I just recently got into pedals, i have to tell you so far you’ve been the one more entertaining to watch testing these things out, i could catch on on the technical explanations plus with the comedic gestures makes it enjoyable so thumbs up brother!
Ola also knows how to work to get the best sound out of even the worst reviewed of equipment
SLLLLLAAAAYEERRRR!!! ALL THE GAAIN!!! NO MIDDSSS!!! ALL THE GAIINNN!!!! YOU WILL NOT BE HAIRED OLA!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, actually Slayer uses a ton of mids in their guitar tones. 🤓
Thomas Catlin no shit, and you obviously don't get the joke
I'm a believer that good tones must be haired. Haha.
@Xtra Spice Mikey You need to look up the video by CSG about the Metal Zone and you'll totally get it. He's a Scottish guy who's a killer player and quite hilarious. That's where the joke comes from.
Edit: Here it is- ruclips.net/video/t_irnk6bemQ/видео.html
@Rated R Recreation CSG metal zone.
8:52 is some of the meanest metal riffing on the planet, sounds massive!
No. Way too fizzy.
You seem so passionate about playing guitar. Love your honesty and the faces you make. Keep it up Ola!
Damn, the Metal Zone is having a second coming thanks to Ola.
don't let nintendo hear you using that quarter second sample from zelda, they will sue you into a smoking hole in the ground.
This pedal could be re-named nostalgia zone for me.
That first paragraph tho xD
@@kshproductions7996 the first. Kind of a run on sentence, roughly the size of a small paragraph. Either way, it's comedy gold. XD
The custom mode sounds genuinely good! Really tight! Glad to see Boss giving some love to the MT-2, the hate was totally undeserving.
The thing with the metal zone is it sounds amazing when you find the sweet spot, but the sweet spot is incredibly small.
Whatta you talking about🤌🏼
Yes but if you can find the G spot of a bitch you can reach the small spot of this Mortal Zone Meta2 hehe :))
My ears can‘t get enough...man, this is crushing. I could listen to you riffing all day 🤘
Wowee, I need this for my tri rec. keep on rocking and rolling Ola, you’re a true inspiration.
A new level is just so sick. I know this video is about a pedal but Dime was just so sick. Thanks for that little riff today.
I've always loved the Metal Zone pedal, the new one is even better, I plug in my Schecter Hellraiser, through effects loop of pretty much any amp, I get CRUSHING metal tones, the mid controls are key to getting that type of sounds 🤘🔥, love it man
Kan vara bästa sitta på toan och skita video jag sett! Du är grym!
Favourite guitar tone on RUclips is definitely Ola, highlight of my day watching your vids man
Seven string sound f*king amazing with those two!!
Never underestimate the power of memes, the metalzone lives again. (not that it was dead anyway...)
Memes = tired.
my phone has been off for a week so I'm having Ola withdrawals . Lol first vid in a week and your rockin the new metal zone. Hellz jeah
You blew my car speakers after you grabbed the 7 strang. Thnx.
Honestly, that MT 2 WAZA doesn't sound bad.
They have awakened the sleeping tiger.
did you really edit your 6 words comment?
@@lal2235 Seeing is believing !
Looks and sounds exactly like the one I got back in the 90s . With a more custom feel .They got a bad rap from people hooking them to crappy amps or not using them correctly if paired with a boss EQ pedal makes it the most versatile distortion pedal on the market . I can get any sound I want with them and that's why I stuck with it for over 30 years
Cool vid, Ola. Can’t wait to see what you do with the HM-2W as well 😎
Wow the metal zone in the effects loop was good but this is way better. Ola has successfully killed the meme twice.
I really hope Boss is compensating Ola because he probably single handedly boosted Metal Zone sales. I know for a fact after watching his first Metal Zone video I was dying to get my hands on one.
Metal and the Metal Zone are really not my thing, but this is a great video for illustrating what this pedal can do. The Custom Mode is a huge improvement. So much more clarity!
Just bought MT-2 because of these 2 videos u made with using them. Awesome pedal when u drive it to return!
Honest to god man you just proved that this is an awesome pedal that is worth the money. It sounded so killer! Great review Ola!!
This beast was to left undisturbed until the end of times....
Well then I guess the end is nigh.
pablo...but the humiliated beast came back from its dark crypt as a fire breathing evil monster...revenge is sweet
I'm just convinced Ola can make anything sound good
High end tube amps and boutique speakers make anything sound good.
The way it growls with the overdrive!
Ola, you looked so happy in this one. Awesome.
I was already debating buying a regular metal zone after watching your video and then the At The Gates documentaries. Now I have to. Thanks for the superb content and burps as always Ola!!
Don't. They're garbage
@@terraincognita9614 They sound like garbage through the front, but sound great from the FX loop. Watch the video, it literally proves that.
Does it mean my original metalzone has become a rarity? Lol
Review is awesome!
It’s boutique now and you can sell for 250$
it means urs is obsolete lulz
Sadly, no. They're one of the highest selling pedals on the market lol
@TheMetalGuy852 cuz they put it in front of the Amp...
Uhoh I think I loved...... this fine stuff.......... sweetplay here
I loved the Demo Ola.The MT-2W Sounds Awesome Boss!!
You single handedly made this pedal cool! I have seen sooo much hate for the original version of this pedal.
Through recent )2019) experiments with my Boss ME-80, I have discovered a hidden asset to the Metal Zone pedal(s). When you scale back the gain and some of the EQ settings, the end result is a (subjectively) desirable classic hard rock/proto metal tone. Outstanding for me in my *fool’s journey* to emulate the various tones created by Tom Scholz during the evolution of the Boston sound.
Tommy!!! Dudes criminally underrated!
He is, @@JackPeloquin. I’ve watched a couple of videos of him demonstrating his homemade hyperspace pedal. Hearing him wail in between the applications of that device, I only wish he were more prolific in his writing and recording. It would give everybody more of a chance to hear the way he can rip it.
Ola vid on my bday thanks mate!
Actually I bought MT2 myself after I watched your previous video Ola! Geez thanks mate for showed me how to use it properly 🤘
This is awesome! I was actually wondering if they would ever redesign the mt-2 and now here it is!
It almost sounds like Pantera meets Meshugga! "I love it!"
Sounds great
With the 7string you brought real chaos to the world, amazing!!
So glad I just discovered your channel Ola. Excellent content. 🙂
W/ the overdrive is the best I’ve ever heard you sound! Expensive amps step aside!
I just bought one from amazon, i agree that Metal zone waza is the most evil pedal on the market right now! all the chugs! gain is fucking there! hell yeah! thanks ola!
Is the custom setting any different/better than the standard
I’ve loved my Metal Zone for years
Thinking about getting Wazacraft version
Is it worth it
That was a hell of a lot of fun. Great demo.
If it wasn’t for Ola this wasn’t possible. He gave the metal zone finally some justice lol.
Holy wow!
I wonder if this one has a switch for an optional chainsaw modification?
Cause we all know that’d be TOTALLY SICK
LOVE your gear demos dude - you get me hooked on stuff I’ve never needed... Before lol
try to set the mid frequency to 1k and put the mid gain all theway up it should take you there
Sounds good, but, IMHO, "standard" metal zone is good enough for me. And BTW , after seeing your video, did the plug-it-to-your-valve-fx-return and liked it a lot. Dual Overdrive also works well that way, so thanks for the trick, mate!
When Ola mentions Dimebag, i zoomed in on the settings. 😆
No tasty solid state metal tone is complete without Ola playing A New Level through it
Oh hell yeah I'm going to go pick one up today! I like that SOLAR guitar I want one of those to! Lol!
WOW honestly Ola Englund is a legend for being able to make this sound stupendous... u are honestly the best... it’s insane how good ur burps are btw in ur FAQ....GETCHA PULL
Ola's latest demo video made the Metal Zone look so good, they decided to reproduce it!
Please don't say sorry whenever you burp... it's one the things i always look forward in your videos.... and it completes my day. ✌✌🤘🤘🤘
I can't believe they actually did an MT-2W holy shit. I feel like all the jokes I made about that kinda helped make it happen. They owe me.
I am mildly obsessed with your pic. It is beyond fitting for your comment and this video.
I agree 100% that is an INDUSTRIAL DEAD CRUNCHY COLD MEAT DEATH STAINLESS STEEL METAL...wait. Is that a real tearm/phrase? It is now because that is an INDUSRIALIZED DEATH DEALING METALIC STAINLESS STEEL PEOPLE GRINDING MEAT CRUNCHING face!!!!!!!
@@robertreynolds1489 sounds about right !
That does sound great. I do love the classic Metal Zone, especially as a clean boost.
Yes I love my metal zone as a reverb pedal
Kappa Chino ..I love mine as a deathbilly slapback echo
@@dalehumphrey8765 it suprisingly works as a chorus and a noise gate too. It's an analog multi effects pedal I guess
Joking aside, the metal zone has a great EQ for shaping the preamp a little. Not many high gain pedals have such a responsive mid-range EQ ability
The bass content sounds... Thunderous! Amazing!
Perfect timing! I stumbled onto the Metal Zone Keeley mod. It was higher in price than the MT-2W is new. I'm hoping the Waza Craft version comes close to the Keeley mod. Watched you first Metal Zone review and loved it! I was so happy to see this Waza review as I wait for my pedal to arrive. Great presentation, great guitar playing! Playing the same riffs and switching makes for fantastic comparison.
This new custom mode thingy sounds super good, actually, without the "fizz" the original would often have to the high end, which is going to make it way friendlier when used into the input of a wider range of amps. Nice one!
8:07 = that Riff !! ❤🤘😠🤘
I died and went to heaven! This is the Ola I can't get enough of......I chug because I can
Ola, we needed some widdly widdle noodle as well to get the full range.
Love the vids bro.
Looks sweet
Awesome demo as always! Thanks 🙏🏻 🙏🏻🙏🏻 What’s the noise level like? Is it quieter than the original MT2?
Actually sounds good! Great playing Mr. Englund.
Wicked sound - very tight / pronounced too...
And great playing, as usual 😜🤘
Dang, I wanted him to plug it into the front end of the amp at the end
For the pain of lot of people the mt2 was the best metal pedal ever made just need to be in the right hands and amp obviously
Ola is one of the only RUclipsrs whose opinion on equipment I actually value and trust.
That tone is freakn insane mate.
Finally
With that killer sound, wise step from Boss will be to release hybrid amp, with metal zone as gain stage and tube output :D
that would kick ass
Ok Ill be there or 0.005% :D
...I swear Ola can make any crappy pedal sound totally ungodly in a good way! Awesome.
Watch his demo of a rat distortion. He worked to get a really good tone out of it. He knows his stuff
Every time i see your videos , i learn a litle of what meens be a real guitar player. Thanks from Chile bro!
Omfg... Its real!! I just have to check the Boss page to see if it was a joke or somethink, but its real!! Behold Horizon devices, your apex preamp just get obsolete...lol
Cesar Oof
So true lol
Far from obsolete. The apex pre amp is pushed towards a different market from the metalzone. Metalzone is pushed towards more thrash and death metal sounds. While the Apex is pushed towards djent and more modern metal genres.
@@Gravy1255 The "custom" circuit of the MT-2W was geared towards modern metal.
@@FairyCRat It was geared toward modern metal, but not Djent or Metalcore like Horizion. The waza is tight but not that tight.
Sounds BOSS as hell!! get it ? ehaheh
What are u? 12
If I was we dont discriminate here !
Just "Rockin" along ..to say i just saw the "ad" for the new Solar guitar."Halloweeenieee".and the tone and that riff just blew my mind!!!!Friggin awesome!!Greetings from Norway ,Stefan the drummer:)
I'm sure going through the Satan doesn't hurt, plus the way you mic the cab and set it up.! You rock SirOla!
Love the Swedish Death Metal sound
Volár Ferenc me too!
Next solar guitar should have a dimebucker :)
Thanks Ola! The power of OD-in (you have my permission to start a new series called The Power of OD-in 🤷♂️) @6:43 is what i came to see. I just bought Boss's OD-200 which has the capability to blend the pedals and there's some kick a55 sounds you can make with blending foot pedals! Love your work thank you again from down under 🏴☠️ Australia
Just got my Boss Metal Zone 2 Waza in today. After not playing through a Peavey VK100 Head/Cab until recently...a combo I picked up a few years ago and let sit, I decided it was time to buy some pedals. I picked up several used and some new. Was trying to avoid having to switch to the dirty channel of the amp, but have a sick nasty fucking tone. The MZ2w was the make or break, was the 'send back the new pedals' and pickup a power amp and preamp/effects processor or keep it...I'm keeping it! The distortion the MZ2w produces is mind blowingly amazing!
Great reviews Ola, keep up the great work!
