CSGuitars Colin, did you go to BOSS and say" This Maytul Zoon is SHITE!!! Feex it nooo or I'll kick ya teeth in, ya buncha wee koontz!"?😂😂😂

[@aidansanita9812]

What model is that guitar cause I need one

[@ScienceofLoud]

I'm assuming you are talking about the Ibanez Xiphos in the intro track. I did a video about it a while ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZu3qayVjrGVbdE

[@spectre5560]

Didn’t you yourself say that’s the metal zone functions better as a pre-amp?

[@j.j.gilpin3303]

@@davedecker1725 My gawd... that's an EXACT representation of him, and inside my head his voice when I read it!

[@FairyCRat]

"New metal zone, let's see how it sounds" *plays acoustic guitar*

[@Smung]

Fairy C Rat I almost thought he was doing a meme

[@Egbert2011Games]

He was preparing us lmao

[@johnt.campbell316]

Yea... I seriously thought he was just starting with a joke. Like, "Okay, I'll be serious now. "

[@derpimusmaximus8815]

I was wondering if he was going to use it on a flute track or something.

[@user-wl3kk4ci8c]

It kinda reminded me of gyroscope by in flames

[@OEpistimon]

Holy shit, the vocals in the demo are really good! Didn't expect that.

[@adrianamorphous]

Oof

[@althejazzman]

Me neither. Never even considered that Colin could sing / scream / growl.

[@erymanthonseth9295]

Same here!

[@gisibah]

It's basically a fusion of Moonshield and Gyroscope by In flames

[@kibbles1053]

I'm .5 seconds in, and I appreciate you mentioning the "paid promotion" bit. It isn't going to stop me from watching, but I think the transparency lends to your credibility and I just wanted you to know it is appreciated.

[@mikethegreat4296]

Where's this supposed to be? I watched back looking for it but I don't hear him mention it until 11 minutes in he mentions Boss sent him the pedal. The FTC's guidelines are to put that it's sponsored in the title.

[@brianbeals8635]

@@mikethegreat4296 It's in the scene with Yoda. Shows up in the bottom left corner.

[@mikethegreat4296]

Weird, my dude. I've never seen KZbin even doing that, but it may just be something I tune out instinctively. I appreciate Collin and KZbin paving the road for transparency. I quit watching Jared Dines because he was obviously paid or at least compensated for so much of his content and just wouldn't disclose it.

[@fuzzy1dk]

@Mike the Great I think in many places it is the law

[@mikethegreat4296]

"To the extent it is reasonably foreseeable that your KZbin videos will be seen by and affect U.S. consumers, U.S. law would apply and a disclosure would be required. Also, the U.K. and many other countries have similar laws and policies, so you’ll want to check those, too." -FTC's Endorsement guidelines That unfortunately doesn't mean it's enforced. Many famous KZbinrs get free things given to them all the time, or have business friends ask for a sort of free advertising, and yet they don't disclose their relationship because it makes for a more better video. "I just got this guitar and it rocks" is a lot more influential than "I was given this guitar to say that it rocks."

[@adrianamorphous]

The order you'll usually see new gear in: Ola, Ryan, Colin, Pete

[@goatsurgeon]

You might want to make more songs dude That was cool

[@leelarsson4923]

/

[@GearingUpShow]

How you're not the top demo artist on KZbin I will never know. The effort you put into your videos, the understanding of the products and the fluidity in your speech is mesmerizing. A+ from me man. Still not a huge fan of the sound of the pedal but I can definitely hear the improvements.

[@christisgod3354]

Oh my!!! That is a very intense intro. We want more!!!!! .....Now we can have ALL the mids.

[@halberdgamers]

You got it, bud

[@zeoalexo]

Scottish Yoda for the win

[@mkv2718]

Ach! use the farce luke!

[@achrisofalltrades5620]

FINALLY!!! we have been eagerly awaiting since the news of this pedal broke!! That being said... It really sounds good... Just needs more gain... N less mids....

[@ZenRyoku]

I found a long time ago that the mids with the Metal Zone pedal was too strong. If any one hasn't tried this, switch to the tremolo oriented pickups and that makes this variable much easier to control and shape.

[@dq7860]

@@ZenRyoku That's why I hate the "C" mode, way too much mids.

[@ZenRyoku]

@@dq7860 WERD!!!! don't get me wrong... I do like a "slight" bit of mids to boost the overall presence of that tru "Shreddy Krueger" sound... But it's them highs that stand front...then the bass that give it's it's overall shape... then the mids come in (just slightly) to push that overall sound presence past the auditory threshold of the multiverse itself....🤘💯

[@CoyleCustoms]

Really dig the tune. Very Jester Race era In Flames-ish

[@mus-dos4763]

At the beginning i honestly thought it was going to be a cover of a song from lunar strain or subterranean i forgot existed

[@PoGoX7]

that's what I thought too dude ha ha

[@montychristo86]

\m/ Hell yeah! Sounds like Gyroscope from Whoracle - the classic shit! \m/

[@fredriksvard2603]

Christopher Taylor More like Moonshield, from the jester race album

[@TheSqweeXV]

My first thought: that sounds like old In Flames! My second thought: I wonder who else thought that. I should check the comments.

[@troyjeffrey4311]

I was going to thumbs up for yoda... then you brought out the Xiphos... then I just kept watching a quality video so thumbs up for that.

[@tyler_bt3326]

Troy Jeffrey xiphos is pretty, I’m inseparable from mine

[@ibanez779]

So my mom just got this for me as a Christmas gift and I had no idea boss had made a new metal zone. I opened the box and In my head I was like LAAAAAMME then squeezed out an oh, cool thanks mom. then she tells me that the guy at the store said this is the new version and talked me into to getting this one over the cheep one. I was like huh? they made a new one? shes like idk that's what he told me then I found this video. My mom is more metal than I am apparently. Thanks mom!

[@UncleRJ]

Long hair: *exists* Fan: *exists* Collin:

[@LUR1FAX]

Kmac's distant cousin?

[@Invert_Scrub]

The madmen at Boss actually pulled it off.

[@leearmitage]

sounds like the pedal it should always have been great review as always Colin

[@JUNKO____]

It HAS BEEN the pedal people think it should have been. Everyone just threw it in front of an amp instead of using it in the fx loop.

[@leearmitage]

for those that have a FX loop lol

[@boogerrs1031]

The intro was just awesome, but then the song came in and I felt the desire of conquering a castle

[@mountainmanmusic3846]

Yoda, killer demo track with hair blowing in the wind and an upgraded MetalZone!?!? Nice video🤘🏻✌🏻👍🏻

[@albertomarmi2499]

All the Gain or Gain not..there is no mid!.😤

[@dylan.606]

Ok 10/10 on the Yoda impression. Very impressive

[@kivitelezo]

In CSG we trust! Perfect InFlames-nes :D 10/10

[@johnyang799]

Gyroscope + Moonshield?

[@drtomservo]

That intro made me laugh out loud at my desk at work. Well done.

[@s.e.n3264]

I was waiting for this video, not disappointed at all! HAND OF BLOOD!!!!

[@easteregghunting]

Damn, you put a lot of work into this one. Great video!

[@andrij.demianczuk]

I am unbelievably stoked! I pre-ordered mine after watching Ola Englund's review, and now I'm even more excited than ever! CSG seal of quality! Great review Colin :)

[@jeffpettit3119]

mmmmmm Should they do a Waza Craft Heavy Metal HM-2 Pedal...yes Plus the tune at the begining, bad ass...

[@flekkzo]

Jeff Pettit They absolutely should release an HM-2 Waza. Since they don’t sell the original and because of its cult status they should get in on the action.

[@Eye_oftheBeholder]

And i would absolutely buy it!

[@winterhisagi2921]

This is one of my favourite videos of yours. The song was wicked. I loved the acoustic and the way it just flowed in with the heaviness. It was also super cool seeing you play some BFMV. They're one of the bands that got me into heavier music. The pedal sounds wicked! Great stuff as always, Colin!

[@mohamadmustafa5860]

Awesome song! Sounds a lot like In Flames - Moonshield

[@johnyang799]

Actually more Gyroscope!

[@xr8fairmont]

Well done Colin! Fabulously produced and hilariously informative. So do love the "In Flames" style demo

[@Unusednickname_1970]

I know I’m 4 years late here, but this is a great demo. I like metal, but I don’t play metal. I just needed a good high gain distortion pedal and I am loving this one. It’s a little difficult to dial in, but it’s worth the effort. The custom mode is where it’s at for me. Completely transforms the pedal. At home I just thought it was ok. When I played it with the band I was pleasantly surprised by how good it is. I was able to dial in just the right mid push to sit well in the mix. Of all the Waza pedals I’ve tried this one benefits the most from the custom setting. Well done, Boss.

[@keegansterley3296]

Now we need an HM-2W

[@ScienceofLoud]

Yes, yes we do

[@LBibeauB24]

Only has internal trim pots factory dimed and then superglued in place.

[@hawk6111]

KingNothingIII no. It dosnt even have pots, just drawings of them maxed

[@MetalBaller83]

METAL ZONE! ALL THE GAIN WITH SWEET MIDS! The MT-2w sounds incredible! Definitely gonna have to get my hands on one of those! Bloody brilliant video Colin, cheers brother!

[@cryptoisaac]

So bad ass man!!!! You got the wind blowing in your hair and everything. Haha I've watch CSGuitars channel back in the day until now and you've always had really good videos man really appreciate how insightful you are and willing to put the information out there so people can hear and know all about the gear thanks bud!! 👍👷

[@Sammonkeyfist]

Best review of this pedal i’ve seen so far. Great stuff Colin!!

[@KaldDodeGitarist]

Everything about this video is the best.

[@groverjuicy]

Excellent analysis, demos and humour. Awesome work as always Colin!

[@wfrancis25]

Keep up the Great work Colin. That song was FUCKING epic.....and on a metal zone....NICE!!!!!

[@ZephaniahDavis]

GREAT demo song; Gyroscope meets Moonshield. I'd be interested in getting that tab.

[@erikm6941]

Sounds freakin amazing man!! Keep up the good work!

[@bpabustan]

Finally, we can play classic rock on a Metal Zone, this just got more versatile. Great video Colin!

[@thinkingape7655]

The force, strong with him it is... That was was great! Nice job 🤘

[@cameroncirini2690]

Your production value has gotten crazy since I started watching a few years back! Bad ass review man!

[@xxbrkdwnxx]

thanks for busting out that Priest riff. i love you.

[@xombie0709]

If Colin had a day job, he'd be a groundskeeper for an elementary school in Springfield.

[@chrismoore7359]

"Beware! The Kraken!"

[@Lil._.SpooKy666]

It's awesome seeing that Boss actually does listen to their audience and acts upon things that aren't very liked by most people and fix it. I love how the Metal Zone has made a comeback over the past month or two (mostly thanks to Ola Englund) it's hard to believe that at one point, everyone basically forgot about this pedal. And now it has made an even deeper mark in history then it did before. Great video Collin and I can't wait till the next video. Hopefully you get back to that big ass blue chorus pedal thingy.

[@stevenmgyori3826]

Well done Colin ! Fine demonstration and Mix! Thanks for sharing brother!

[@rossridesmtb7497]

There are a lot of demos showing how heavy this pedal can get but your demo shows how awesomely diverse this pedal is. Great work!

[@littleboi3343]

That intro though, great video!

[@adamtaylor2142]

This was fucking amazing Colin. Some of your best work yet.

[@bartoszsawicki1892]

Woow, so much into In Flames... :) great job, Colin!

[@brianbarnett100]

Dude, I have subbed like 4 times and request to get all alerts, did it again...Love your channel thanks again and GO waza

[@hazrod13]

"mmm, really good, that pedal sounds" \m/

[@ricstormwolf]

YES! YOU REVIEWED IT!! As soon as it came out, I wanted to know what you thought of it. ALL THE GAIN!!

[@littlewoodenboy1971]

You continue to evolve your game. Well played indeed.

Very much dig updated format) go metalzone!)

[@xarlyross1382]

Wow man what amazing song you've played, Thanks for the video, very instructive

[@manualofalternativemusic]

KKKKKKK that’s an awesome intro! Love the video!

[@astromuso]

Awesome Colin ... great review mate ... nicely played piece of music too :-)

[@TheCyberianWonder]

OMG! This is Yoda recommended? I can has Metal Jedi powers for a half the price of a small town parking ticket? Every demo I've heard of this beast has been amazing, but it this demo is among my top three. Excellent playing, CS.

[@Nattskog]

Great video dude, really liked the song it felt like something Opeth would do to begin then some nice Kalmah vibes too!

[@MB-rc8ie]

Epic video. Good job with the track, its outstanding for a review

[@jemwand2530]

Nice one Colin..the force is definitely in your production standards.

[@micahsnyder7299]

Hory shittu, the demo song was an absolute banger this time around. Well done Colin!

[@llolligomari2629]

Loved the new style of review

[@AndrewStonerock]

First, I laughed at Colin's reaction to the dude licking the pedal. Then I was blown away by the intro song. Next, I had my mind exploded by Colin actually liking the metal craft waza zone...

[@theknifesedge57]

I dont know what I'm more jealous of... the tone, or the hair!

[@pcbullets8726]

You killed it man! Nicely done!

[@AndrewKonkey]

An okay pedal turned AMAZING! All the mids! All the TONE!! NO MORE ANGRY WASPS IN A BOTTLE!!! Boss hit it out of the PARK with this pedal! Thanks, Colin! Amazing demo as always!

[@drile00l80]

Paused at 0:38. Liked. This is the best KZbin video I've ever seen.

[@mouseanalyse]

Excellent video. Well made, honest, detailed, complete and with a tongue in cheek humour. I’m a fan. I just started watching the entire playlist of pedals most of which I’m not even interested in. Just because they rock. That’s a first!

[@nurkhadijahroslan6753]

I like how you made this demo sound like a song from a certain 'flammable' band. Nice one mate!!

[@savvysymbiont]

Rockin' steady mate! The Enter Sandman tone is spot on...

[@jonask72]

I have both the original MT-2 and the MT-2W and the waza version is just incredible . Just awesome !!!

[@bodachtv5145]

When I seen this updated mt2 I was priti excited.i was one of the 90s kids playing death and thrash metal and the old mt2 was the Mecca must have pedal. It sounds priti good and very versatile. I realy like the lower gain settings as well as the high gain...maybe it’s just me, but it sounds a bit more like the classic hm2 . I need to get my hands on one.i still have the original, I was using it as a eq with the gain ripped all the way down.it worked well as a boost for leads..these days , I kinda float between my jmp1 preamp or my amptweaker right metal pro....another great video Colin ...keep up the great work! ...

[@DevotioOfficial]

Great review mate! Awesome song! Greetings from Australia

[@themetalgamer9864]

That Smoke on the Water tone! ❤️ Never expected that on a Metal Zone.

[@winterjps]

You crack me up, Colin! Very funny. And it does sound good!

[@diskordman]

Love, love, loved the In Flames-influenced song! That acoustic intro is straight up Moonshield and Gyroscope!

That Slaughter of the Soul tone couldn't have been any closer to original, bloody lovely Colin 👌

[@mnajle]

Man, it was a great video! The review was really good, but I mainly loved the song you played. Really nice job!! And your hair waving is getting better and better, I wish I could do the same, but my hair is too heavy, with too much volume.

[@vmat1000]

The original Metal Zone was a no brainer. While sometimes EEking out tone from strore rigs, this ripped right away, Starting to make me miss my long gone HM-2.

I was also born in 1991. Still waiting on somebody to make an improved replacement of me.
