I own three distortion pedals, and out of my DS-1 Distortion and and DigiTech Grunge, the MT-2 Metal Zone stands out the strongest, It's all I need. I have a Marshall Combo amp with two speakers, and I use this sucker to distort it, and it's just bangin'! I don't ask for much, just great distortion, and this pedal still satisfies me. Trust me, I've used the Rocktron Metal Planet, The DigiTech Death Metal, DigiTech Metal Master, and all these "Metal" Pedals just don't stand strong and true and play as good as the Metal Zone. My friend brings over his DigiTech Metal Master and his Explorer running through his Peavey amp, while I rock my ESP through a Boss Metal Zone and a Marshall, and we totally sound different, he often complains that my sound overpowers his, thanks to the equalization, the DigiTech Metal Master can't overpower. Maybe the ESP might just be a more powerful guitar than his Explorer, I don't know but the Metal Zone is an excellent pedal, the best, actually.
