I tried this pedal on the year it was discontinued- 1991. I was really attracted to the intensity on offer (because it was more aggressive than my default amp distortion: Peavey Rage 158). One of its modes combined the distortion with chorus to an extent that there were some Eventide (Harmonizer) overtones to be heard, which was the tone to be had back then. These days, if you fuse your favourite distortion & chorus units, chances are, each pedal's firm characteristic would try to over-power the other once you get your tweaking going but the MZ-2 actually had these effects in co-operation probably because they were built into a single unit & were configured to be fused instead of working independently.
There were some procrastinations & on the day I was set to buy one, it was nowhere to be found. Back then, I wasn't too keen in owning a used unit so the MZ-2 was all but unreachable. This was also the year the Metal Zone was introduced & I got it as consolation.
