Exactly. It's the Nickelback of the pedal industry. Nickelback aren't *that* bad. To be fair I don't have any of their albums, but the world's big enough there's definitely a place for both the metalzone and Nickelback somewhere in it. I'm just not very fond of either in about equal measure.

I'm firmly in the Metal Zone defenders camp, for one simple reason. The pedal itself has absolutely nothing wrong, it gets really good metal tones easily. The inherent issue it has is one of user interface: the knobs' sonic range is far too wide, so it's tricky to adjust them the pedal as the sweet spot is narrow and it's fiddly to do tweaks. If Boss would make a new version with this problem fixed, you might see a lot of people changing their tune.
@jvin248

The fizz doesn't happen if people kept the knobs below 50% of the range. But they all want to dime those knobs, dime their guitar knobs, and dime the amp knobs. Stack two MT-2s together or a DS-1 into an MT-2 for better tones than either alone, but no gain over '5'...

It has to be ran through the efx loop of your tube amp. it is essently like a solid state pre amp in pedal forum. Ola just did a demo running one through his Randall Satans efx loop. And it no longer sounds like the cheap bees flying around pedal anymore. Because it was never designed to run in front of your amp, but through the efx loop.

If u take the back plate off and flip the board it's the capacitor C35 that u take out. Use a solder sucker/re-mover and heat the solder till u can remove it, flip the board and put the back plate on and WAZA

But its fun to see a guy who makes realy good pedals and a few realy great ones explaines how to make a Metal Zone sound better.
