The Boss MZ-2 Digital Metalizer, produced from 1987 to 1991, is a distinctive pedal that combines analog distortion with digital effects, offering a unique tonal palette for musicians. Designed primarily for heavy metal and hard rock genres, the MZ-2 integrates an analog distortion circuit with digital chorus and delay effects, allowing guitarists to achieve rich, saturated tones complemented by spatial modulation. The pedal features six modes: a standard distortion, three doubling (delay) modes, and two chorus modes, all accessible via a mode selector knob. Its stereo outputs enhance the spatial effects, providing a broader soundstage ideal for live performances and studio recordings. Despite its relatively short production run, the MZ-2 has garnered appreciation for its ability to encapsulate the quintessential late '80s metal sound in a compact form.
