distortionBoss Boss MT-2 Metal Zone
Notes
Studio recording for 'Storm of the Light's Bane' (1995); gear confirmed via Equipboard and session photos. Boss MT-2 Metal Zone used as a tone-shaping/boost pedal into the amp's overdrive channel, not as primary distortion. No evidence of additional effects or modulation pedals for the riff section.
