The BOSS ML-2 Metal Core is a high-gain distortion pedal designed for guitarists who need extremely heavy, aggressive tones for modern metal and other hard-hitting styles. It delivers massive distortion with a sharp attack, powerful low end, and cutting high frequencies that help riffs remain clear and defined even through dense mixes.
The ML-2 is particularly well suited for seven-string guitars, extended-range instruments, and guitars using dropped tunings. Its dedicated LOW and HIGH controls make it easy to shape the character of the distortion, from deep and crushing rhythm tones to aggressive, biting sounds for lead playing.
