DEATH METAL LEGEND: the HM-2 was one of the first ‘amp in a box’ pedals ever using an innovative BOSS circuit to replicate the sound of early ’80s British stack amps favored in the rapidly growing heavy metal genre. Near the end of its production run seminal Swedish death metal bands adopted the HM-2 for their primary guitar tones and its uniquely aggressive sound and focused midrange became highly sought after by a new generation of players. ORIGINAL HM-2 SOUND: When the HM-2W is in Standard mode the tone and response of the original HM-2 pedal is reproduced with 100-percent authenticity including reducing the noise floor and expanding the maximum level by 3 dB. And with the premium Waza Craft buffer on board the sound is improved when the pedal is bypassed. ORANGE BLACK IS BACK: Along with the original HM-2 sound Boss has made every effort to capture the pedal’s distinctive orange and black appearance right down to the size and position of lettering on the panel. Every Waza Craft pedal features a mode switch for extended range and it’s been moved to the top on the HM-2W to preserve the authentic control layout of the HM-2. SUPERIOR TONE WITH WAZA: This enthusiastic spirit continues with the Waza Craft series bringing you exceptional tone and touch response through carefully selected analog components refined circuitry and meticulous attention to detail. In Japan ‘Waza’ is the term for art and technique and these special edition pedals proudly carry the Waza symbol to represent the pinnacle of BOSS design and craftsmanship.
