Boss MT-2 Mini Review
Boss MT-2 Mini Review by twist
This is one of the most versatile distortion pedals i could imagine (doesnt mean theres nothing beyond my imagination 
).
The overall impression is standard boss pedal quality. The well known metal housing and the same design as my decade old Boss HM-2. These things are nearly indestructible. For this exact one it has to be proven that the two dual-knobs in the middle arent weakpoints.
What you can see on the outside is: The input and output, battery led, Level knob, 3 band equalizer with mid frequency shift and Distortion knob.
With the built in 3 band equalizer you can adjust low, mid and high frequencies separately and with the mid frequency shift knob you can adjust the mid frequencies and shift them lower or higher. With this wide range of options you can get a warm overdrive sound and a hard metalcore distortion within one pedal. It is a good idea, if you just got this pedal, to take a look at the manual and try the presets that are printed in there and modify them to suit your needs. If you try to build your tone from scratch it can be a bit difficult for beginners.
With around 90 Euros its not expensive too! And usually all shops that sell boss equipment have them in stock all the time because the are very popular.
Conclusion: Not too expensive distortion pedal with a vast range of sounds. The equalizer gives you full control over your sound and the pedal is built for eternity.
Boss MT-2 Mini Review by Fran
Boss MT-2 is a high gain distortion pedal by BOSS
Like all BOSS stomps it's built like a tank, and operates both on batteries and (preferably) power adapters.
I didn't find it easy to find the right tone on this pedal, takes a few days of trial & error to find the sweet spot, st least for me. I started checking some of the suggested settings from the product manual, and that helped big time. The range of sounds is wide, and small tweaking of the knobs produces huge variations in the sound.
This stomp is obviously geared towards metal, but it also can deliver some straight rock tones, though a bit raspy.
It has the usual volume & distortion knobs. Volume is used to match the clean amp sound volume. Distortion knob provides loads of it even on low settings, so look elsewhere if you are looking for a mild overdrive. I play rock/alternative and some not too aggresive metal, and I finf¡d that keeping the distortion knob in the middle provides enough gain to sustain for ages.
