The Boss Metal Zone... one of the worlds most loved and most hated on distortions. However, many of my fellow youtubers have considered the idea that perhaps it's actually meant to be a pre-amp. Maybe it's meant to run into the effects loop rather than the input of the amp. Then again, maybe not. I discuss this and more in the video. Plus we change out some frequency response curves, discussing why it may or may not actually work better in the effects loop. Or the input.

Comment below with your thoughts on which way you thought it sounded best!
