The TL-2 Metal Distortion has two high-gain amp tone circuits at your disposal. Tight Mode gives you a responsive, percussive low end with smooth high frequencies. Loose Mode features a low EQ that best suits detuned guitars and produces a massive amount of low end grind. As with all HardWire pedals, the TL-2 is crafted from premium all-metal components to perform night after night, tour after tour.Super TechnologyThe rugged, durable construction of Extreme Performance Pedals is just the beginning. Inside each HardWire pedal are technological features that serious players require. True bypass preserves the purity of your original tone as signal passes through the pedal, and constant high voltage operation further protects your sound by eliminating clipping and other signal degradation caused by power drain.Extreme Performance PedalAll HardWire pedals are designed and built to withstand the extremely rough life traveling from stage to stage. Every time you kick on a HardWire pedal the purest tones flow through uninhibited. HardWire pedals make your music and personal tones stand above the rest. Included with every HardWire effect pedalView largerIncludes StomplockThis unique new device fits snugly over HardWire knobs to protect your finely-tuned settings from the drops, bumps and kicks that inevitably take place when you and your pedal perform.View largerHardWire True BypassYour guitar and amp are the foundation of your tone. You need to make sure that when you add any pedal to your signal chain it’s not creating undesirable noise or coloring the unique character of your tone. In a true bypass pedal, the signal passes straight through the box when the effect is bypassed.Included with every HardWire pedalView largerIncludes Glow-In-The-Dark LabelFumbling on a dimly-lit stage for the right pedal is a thing of the past with this indispensable asset—now your HardWire pedal will be clearly in sight from dusk till dawn.View largerHardWire Constant VoltageBattery-powered effects typically perform their best with a fresh battery. As the voltage of the battery decreases, effects can become gritty and distorted. With HardWire pedals, the same circuitry that boosts the voltage also keeps it constant throughout the life of the battery.Included with every HardWire pedalView largerIncludes Diecut Velcro Mounting PadAll HardWire pedals include both die cut a velcro mounting pad for mounting on a pedalboard and an anti-skid pad for use on the floor. The soft durometer anti-skid pad with high visco-elasticity and a unique tread design ensures a firm grip to any stage.View largerHardWire High Voltage RailsWith the high-output pickups found on some electric guitars, it’s not unusual to hear clipping when playing through an effects pedal. This occurs when the voltage range produced by a guitar’s pickup is greater than the operating voltage of the effects pedal – normally limited to the voltage supplied by the pedal’s battery or power supply. HardWire pedals incorporate special circuitry that increases the operating voltage “headroom” above that of the typical pedal. As such, HardWire pedals benefit a wider range of guitars and are also at home in an amplifier’s effects loop. ## Features - 2 Modes of operation: Tight and Loose Tight Mode has a tight, percussive low end Loose Mode suits detuned guitars - True Bypass circuitry preserves your tone in bypass - Constant high-voltage operation for tonal quality and noise reduction - HardWire Pedals include: Stomplock knob guards prevent tampering or accidental knob adjustments onstage Green gaffer tape helps you locate the pedal on stage Custom-cut Velcro pads - 2 Modes of operation: Tight and Loose Tight Mode has a tight, percussive low end Loose Mode suits detuned guitars - True Bypass circuitry preserves your tone in bypass - Constant high-voltage operation for tonal quality and noise reduction - HardWire Pedals include: Stomplock(TM) knob guards prevent tampering or accidental knob adjustments onstage - Green gaffer tape helps you locate the pedal on stage Custom-cut Velcro pads ## Images ![DigiTech TL-2 HardWire Metal Distortion Extreme-Performance Pedal - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/W/MEDIAX_792452-T1/images/I/91QjvXdCdXL.jpg) ![DigiTech TL-2 HardWire Metal Distortion Extreme-Performance Pedal - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/W/MEDIAX_792452-T1/images/I/81qZMnkTqaL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Versatile Metal Pedal *by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2009* Digitech's Extreme Metal Distortion is built like a tank, about the same size as the old DOD Death Metal Pedal. It has metal knobs that are tight so you don't have to worry too much about accidentally hitting one and losing that dialed in tone. A switch that cuts from loose to tight, a very bright Blue LED. It's true bypass and on top of that, the pedal is super quiet. At first I thought it might have an internal noise gate because it's so quiet. Most distortion or overdrive pedals, when you turn the gain up, almost always have a hiss that runs through your amp. Most of the time I end up having to use a gate in the signal chain, but there is no need for one with this pedal.There are four knobs, a Level, a High knob with a Low ring, a Mid knob with a Frequency ring, and a gain knob. There is a switch to choose between tight and loose. This really affects the tone of the pedal. It's a very versatile pedal, I was able to dial in tones from Masters of Puppets with a really tight response and cut mids, to a Bark at the Moon with a loose feel and boosted mids to even some Pantera from Vulgar Display of Power. I'm sure if I fiddled around with this pedal I could just about get nearly any metal sound I wanted. Before I bought this I thought the best distortion pedal out there was Line 6's Uber Metal Pedal, which is still a great pedal, but the construction of this pedal alone beats that pedal.Digitech's New line of Hardwire pedals are a welcome change from the company's past. Digitech of course used to be called DOD, which means Division of Digitech. And nowhere on this pedal can you find the name Digitech on it, and I believe they did this for a reason, to try to get players to give it a try before they found out who it was made by. It's not that Digitech(DOD) didn't have any good products, its just the reputation of the company more or less put a stigma on all its related products that they were cheap. If you were looking for high end pedals, you looked at Maxon, MXR, Electro-Harmonix, etc.. You definitely looked past most Digitech products.If your looking for a well built pedal with lots of tone, look no further. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Trash & Death metal *by A***K on Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2010* I'm the owner of the Boss MT-2 Metalzone and a Digitech GRUNGE pedal in addition to this TL-2. I can reproduce the death metal tones of the grunge without getting the buzz that the grunge gives me, and reproduce some metalzone-esque sounds without everything sounding -as- digital as the MT-2 tends to be.I like the flexibility of this pedal. Though, I feel like I can't realistically move the mids knob anywhere below the 3/4 position (therefore restricted to the 3/4 to 4/4 range) without destroying my town. I've tried this with the mids on different frequency levels. Maybe it's a matter of time and constant trial and error, but I can't get that high bass and treble and low mids thrashy sound without the mids being a little higher than they would be on the MT-2. However, the lower treble, higher mid tones are pretty good, and the ability to switch between loose and tight is a very nice feature; for me it adds a versatility that compensates for the shortcomings as I perceive them.I think I'd buy this again, but the decision would be against the Electro-Harmonix metal muff pedal and some of Blackstar's products (though pricier). ### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars Two Stars *by J***K on Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2016* a box of bees. Knobs hardy do anything with the tone. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.id/products/1417223-digitech-tl-2-hardwire-metal-distortion-extreme-performance-pedal](https://www.desertcart.id/products/1417223-digitech-tl-2-hardwire-metal-distortion-extreme-performance-pedal) --- *Product available on Desertcart Indonesia* *Store origin: ID* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
