Wait... Aren't those PA speakers?!
Yep. The series are sold as PA speakers, bass and keyboard etcc, but a long long long long long long think early 90's ago, I bought a used 160w Tube Peavey head that came with 2 - straight 4 x 12 cabs. And these were in them. I love the sound of them. 
 
These were made for guitar... my limited Google search shows that peavey included these in some guitar combos (as well as bass). So, maybe it's a paper instead of kevlar cone. I dunno. But, they are great and the mid's are sharp!

Mmm... Mids! I love my mids and high mids.

Now before yall flame me, this pedal is capable of some incredible tones if you know how to dial it properly and it may not work with every guitar/amp combination out there. The MT-2 gets a lot of flack from people who simply have no clue how to use it or are TS9 fanboys. I run this up in front of my clean channel.

Sorry TNR, you lost me with the Metal Zone. I mean Why? Why buy an all tube replica of a 5150 and put a cheap stomp box in front of the clean channel to get your dirt? That makes no sense to me.
 
I do love my TS-9, but I run it in front of the dirt channel with the gain all the way down. Only there to tighten the dirt, not to provide any of its own.
Here, I found this for you.

I have seen that video and I know how to use a TS9/808. Great pedals. Tried and true and are used to drive the tubes a bit harder for that natural break-up. And like I said, it is a good pedal (and at one time was NOT a cheap pedal, there are just no many out there nowadays!). It gets a bad rap because n00bz buy it because of the insane distortion it can cranks out and they misuse it. Obviously with poor tweaking through a cheap SS amp it is going to sound like ass. Run it through a quality amp with the proper tweaking and it will hang with the best of them. I know this isn't your normal formula for getting a killer tone, but it has worked for me and honestly, there is no right or wrond. The moment I have the funds to get some decent recording equipment I will show you what it is capable of (all I have is a crappy camera mic).
 
LOL. My FIRST PEDAL was an HM-2, the precursor to the Metal Zone and am I dating myself?!??!?! Loved that pedal since my first amp was a solid state Fender 20 watter, without that pedal, I'd never get those umm. Metallica sounds (Ride the Lightning days folks).
 
I have a timmy clone that I like better than the tube screamer in front of a tube amp, but haven't played through any pedal for a long time. Keep forgetting to looks for a used decimator

Look at Pat O'Brien from Cannibal Corpse. He runs an MT-2 in front of a Mesa Triple Rectifier. Something most would consider unforgiveable sin. I know the guitarists for Crowbar and At The Gates use MT-2s as well.

Lots and lots I mean of guitarist use an MT-2 in front of a tube amp live, but the ones that I personally know have had them modded!

Yeah, I know Keely has a very popular mod. A bit too rich for my blood.

I experimented with it a while ago, but I didn't like the sound. You really couldn't turn off the crunch and use it as a clean boost and I found that the crunched signal going into a dirty amp didn't sound all that great to me. YMMV.
 
 
But, you can only do so much Slayer so,
I've been doing the blues thing lately with the TS-9 and a MXR chorus pedal hooked to my American Strat on the neck pickup through the clean channel on my XXX. Gives a really nice and mellow sound. I think TB might even like it.

Love my 92 American Std Strat. That's my main axe.

There are different mods out there, monte allums, keeley (like you said), and a few on those DIY forums. I can tell the difference, but nothing an inline eq couldn't handle.
 
How the heck do people even play these 8, 9, 10+ stringed guitars and basses? I played with an 8 string Schecter out of curiousity at the music shop a while back. I couldn't comfortably reach all the frets. Maybe if I had freakishly long alien fingers or something. I guess to each their own.
 
These postings make me want to get a new geetar.
 
I finally lugged out my 6262 and have been causing cracks in the drywall for a week or two now.
